Fresh Homemade Cumberland sausages -  Enjoy a Cumberland sausage casserole, packed with nutrients and flavour, the perfect comfort food for the whole family, The Cumberland sausage originated in the ancient county of Cumberland, England, now part of Cumbria. They are traditionally long and sold rolled in a flat, circular coil. They are also made shorter, like ordinary British sausages. The meat is pork with seasonings and are prepared from a variety of spices and herbs, though the flavour palate is commonly dominated by pepper, both black and white and there are traditionally no colourings or preservatives added. The distinctive feature is that the meat is chopped, not minced, giving the sausage a chunky, meaty texture. In March 2011, the "Traditional Cumberland sausage" was granted Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status.
