God bless the British banger.
As we report today, Bicester man Jason Ayres has been scoffing down sausages to judge the best one of the bunch.
It is the sort of job most of us would love to do. For the stay-at-home dad, though, it was really just another day at the office.
He loves his sausages and has them at home all the time.
As Claire Holland from the organisers of British Sausage Week said: “Jason’s response truly resonated with us and highlighted his ability to passionately champion all things pork.”
We don’t want to know too much about what’s inside them – but there is something wonderfully pleasing about this most enjoyable of meats.
We’re still not sure the cranberry, apple and Stilton varieties will catch on, though.
