Lincolnshire, England

United Kingdom

The flat, agricultural county of Lincolnshire in eastern England produces Britain's most famous sage sausage. Low rainfall makes the soil ideal for growing sage, which became the defining herb of the local sausage tradition. Lincoln, the county town, is home to a medieval cathedral and a cluster of traditional butchers who each guard their own recipe.

A coarse-ground fresh pork sausage from eastern England, defined by one herb: sage. Where other British bangers lean on pepper or mixed spice, the Lincolnshire lets sage do the talking. The pork is chopped through a wide grind plate (minimum 4.5mm), giving the sausage a chunky, open texture that sets it apart from the smooth paste of mass-produced alternatives. Breadcrumbs bind the filling, and the natural hog casing snaps when cooked.
