Pork & Perry Pear Pickle Sausage

The Ludlow Food Centre's sausage for the 2007 Sausage Trail is a true collaboration between the Farm, Family, and the various departments within the Food Centre. The inspiration for the sausage has come from Viscount Windsor's sister-in-law Fon Windsor-Clive, and has then been developed by John, our head butcher, in conjunction with Carole Evans, who works at the Centre and is a Masterchef of Great Britain. Between them they have created an impressive array of different sausages to suit all tastes and palettes. The cooking will then be undertaken by George and his team of chefs from the kitchen.

The pork for the sausage comes from the Felton Farm which forms part of the Estate and is just a half mile from the Food Centre. The pears used in the pickle come from the old cider orchard that lies at the back of the Food Centre and the Perry comes from Brook Farm in Wigmore. These local ingredients are then mixed with traditional Thai seasonings such as fresh Kaffir Lime leaves and Galangal to create what we believe to be a truly exceptional sausage. It is intended that the pickle used in the sausage will be bottled and sold separately but both the sausage and the pickle will be available for purchase at the Centre shortly.
