From the
Cumberland, to the Chorizo or the Bratwurst, we have a bit of an obsession with
the sausage in the UK. There are hundreds and hundreds of different sausage
flavours available in Britain but when did we first start eating them, and why
on earth do we call them bangers?
Sausages are much older than even the ancient Greeks. Around 5,000
years ago the Romans used to mix fresh pork with things like cumin seeds,
pepper and pine nuts.
