Protecting the Lincolnshire sausage
MEAT lovers in Lincolnshire are being asked to contribute 5p each time they buy the county's speciality sausage at the butchers.
This voluntary 'Sausage Tax' is to build a fighting fund, including legal advice, for the application to protect the Lincolnshire Sausage.
The Lincolnshire Sausage Association which has launched the initiative has also written to all the new MPs for the county as well as the new ministers at Defra, Secretary of State Caroline Spelman and also Food Minister Jim Paice.
The application to protect the Lincolnshire Sausage, which was launched six years ago, has reached a critical stage in that Defra must now decide whether or not to forward the application to the European Commission.
The Association has given two main reasons for protecting the sausage which include assuring the consumer a quality product and to support Lincolnshire butchers.
