From little piggies, big saussies grow

Hello, this is the first of, what I hope will be a journey 'round planet sausage. Some of the stories, history, myths, legends, links (pun intended), recipies and up-dates on the ever-developing 'Proper Sausage Company', operating from Madrid, Spain.

"Snorkers - good oh!" was uttered by First Lt. Bennet (played by Stanley Baker) on board the 'Compass Rose', in that great war classic 'The Cruel Sea' (1953) starring Jack Hawkins. Baker wasn't a particularly likeable chap but he did like his 'snorkers'. 'Snorker' was the name given by submariners, so I'm reliably informed, to 'Palethorpe's' pre-cooked tinned sausages during WWII

NOTE; for 'BRITISH' substitute 'IRISH', 'SCOTTISH', 'WELSH', 'TRADITIONAL' or whatever floats your boat.

TAE THE BRITISH SNORKER.

Great sizzler o’ the banger race,

Wi ye a’ luv tae fill ma face.

Mix’d wi’ stilton, herbs or apple,

Ye still a’ welcome doon ma thrapple.

Unlike haggis filled wi’ oat an’ offal,

Why did’nae Burns aboot ye waffle?

Ye’re nae sleekit lak a chipolata,

Which weel hardly mak a breckie starter.

But as ye lie mid wad and rashers,

Saliva slobbers roond ma gnashers.

So al’ ye luvers o’ a bit o’ porker.

Gie a grand “Och Aye”….

……TAE THE BRITISH SNORKER.
