British Cumberland Sausage

The humble sausage is a food that we see almost every day and we eat it often. Wonderful, juicy and succulent Surin Farm Gourmet pork sausages are part of everyday diets. From Breakfasts to BBQ's sausages are one of the most versatile foods around. In Britain we eat about 190,000 tons of sausages every year. It’s not just Brit's who are crazy about them. Most countries in the world have their own variations of sausages and often it’s quite a few variations as well. In the UK it is now said there are 470 different types of sausage. We know the English name ‘sausage’ comes from a Latin word ‘salsisium’ and means something that’s salted and preserved but where and how has the humble sausage became so varied and popular in modern life?

Sausages date back well before the Greek or Roman Empires. It is thought they date back to the Middle East in Babylon times. This could have been anytime from 2300 BC. However, it is during the Queen Sammu-Ramat (also known as Semiramis) rule 811-806 BC, that it is thought the sausages were first made. Being so long ago, it is difficult to know exactly when and who the genius was but it is thought they stuffed intestines (skins) with chopped meat and roasted them. However, the humble sausage first appears in the history during the Ancient Greek times…

The Cumberland sausage is a British classic, dating back around 500 years. It’s typically made with a meat content ranging between 85%-98% pork, making it particularly succulent, and is season with black pepper and other herbs and spices. The Cumberland sausage is an interesting British regional sausage. It should be made with no filler. It is the only traditional British recipe that was. It also should be slightly spicy. They say the reason this sausage is so meaty and has more pepper than other British sausages is because of German miners brought to Cumbria in 1564 by Queen Elizabeth I. They created jobs and revived a mining industry around Derwent Valley and Keswick. The Cumberland sausage is therefore a blend of German and local Cumbrian tastes. It almost helps me get over of all the times they’ve knocked us out on penalties. The Cumberland sausage made by the Surin Farm Gourmet Charucterier is a British regional sausage reproduced perfectly in Thailand.
