Lincolnshire Sausages

Could that not be said of virtually all PDO/PGI applications?

Apologies for facetiousness there

(But I did go on to say:

To be honest, I don't think it really much matters if a bit of this and that seasoning creates some variation. I'm sure many butchers would have had their "secret ingredient" to jazz up their sausages, and it probably won't have been regional, but from maker to maker

and:

As long as it's coarse minced, with a loose, slightly "bready" texture and has loads of sage and a good bosh of white pepper in it, if you want to pop a bit of something else in, who really cares?)

[Mark62]

All of which brings us back to the point that there's no such thing as a Lincolnshire sausage because there are so many butchers in Lincolnshire who make their sausages slightly differently from other Lincolnshire butchers. There may be such a thing as a Lincolnshire style of sausage but there's nothing that can be definitively identified as being a pure Lincolnshire sausage.

Absolutely

The whole PGI application is as ludicrous as having Ford making an application to reserve the name of 'motor car' for their particular vehicles only.

Yep, or Hoover making everyone use their brand name to mean vacuum cleaner. Oh, hang on a mo..........

Just been in Morrissons supermarket and noticed a bag of "Lincolnshire sausage " in their freezer labelled "traditional with herbs and spices".Had to check out the ingredients. Four herbs to be exact 'parsley sage rosemary and thyme'. Anybody going to Scarborough fair? Not only that but also included in the list was onion powder and garlic powder. No wonder everybody is so confused when a factory churns out stuff like this.

So, what I think I've learned so far in this edifying thread:

- Lincolnshire Sausage is a state of mind;
- The LSA have lost theirs;
- No one actually knows; and,
- Sausages in Lincolnshire are tasty.

I think.

And if you make them in the US, you're not suppose to call them "Lincolnshire".

Who cares where they are made or what they are called!!!???

Quality and taste are ALL that matters!!!

Just a note for this thread that DEFRA rejected the Lincolnshire Sausage Association's PGI application on 17 May 2012, and rejected the LSA's appeal on 18 October 2012.

I live in Lincolnshire & I think you will find that if you go in half a dozen different butchers you will get a different Lincolnshire sausage in each one, some being quite bland whilst others are quite upfront with sage & pepperiness.

As a child I hated Lincolnshire sausage & whilst I will eat it now it’s far from my first choice

Can’t understand why anyone would want to protect it.

Best take cover now, as I’m sure there will be some missiles heading my way.
