The humble sausage has recently become a highly fashionable part of a large number of restaurant menus. This welcome development has been spurred on by a new trend among a large number of butchers towards artisan and speciality type sausages. Now it is not uncommon to find a wide range of sausages ranging from sun dried tomato to caramelised onion and apple.
