I love sausages. I love them so much I even eat them. Sausages have become one of the most improved culinary items in the UK largely because of the passion of Bill O'Hagan who recently died. Hence the dining forum would not be complete without a note about Bill.

Without him sausages everywhere would have been wurst. He was a chubby man who brought the true British Quality Sausage to Britain as a foreigner. He sold to the Roux brothers and to all the major eateries when sausages were dire. He lost many contracts due to his love of the bottle. He joined the Teleraph and slept under his desk, and bought himself a decommissioned ambulance and then London taxi (both largely to sleep in) and would get grumpy when people mistakenly got into the taxi when it stoped at traffic lights. He was - and this is true - the son of Ebo ........ (name deleted by the system but the produce of unmarried parents)

Next time you have your breakfast sossy think of Bill and his Brilliant Bangers.

How about a thread on our favourite sossy?

Mine are Black Farmer Premium followed by Red onion caremilsed pork - in the UK a great one made by Waitrose.

Shakespeare loved a sossy.
