Well I thought I'd seen it all being an anorak/enthusiast on sausages, but today I was visited by a young French lady called Claire-Lise who lives in Brittany, France.
She knows I'm nuts about sausages and meat etc and she as often brought me gifts with a sausage theme, this time she arrived with many different dried sausages and to go one further she handed me a large bag of "sausage sweets". The bag contained mini sausages wrapped in sweet papers printed with messages on sausages and including the chartcutiers details. This I have never seen before and I never got round to asking Claire-Lise why it is done , so if any of you guys have heard or seen this, then please say!
I can only assume it is a Christmas treat from the butcher to his clients and their children.
