TitleAward-winning Leeston Johnny Cash tribute sausages
Description'A fiery sausage made in Canterbury has turned out to be a big hit.
FreshChoice Leeston is celebrating after its butchery department was awarded a gold elite prize at the Great New Zealand Sausage competition, for its gourmet pork sausage with some serious heat.
Butcher Daryl Johnson named his creation after his favourite Johnny Cash song.
“We went for the Ring of Fire. It’s got a lot of colour, a lot of flavour that comes out nicely in the first bite. It’s nice and sweet and then you get a little bit of a burning sensation after. So this is a sausage that is more for . . . the more you eat, the more you like.”
The awards were presented in Auckland last week. Seventeen judges munched their way through an impressive 650 sausages, from 116 outlets across the country.
This was the first time the Leeston supermarket had entered, and the team was delighted the recipe captured the taste of judges.
“There’s a bit of paprika, and honey and sugar and bits and pieces like that, and a few other herbs and spices in there. But yeah, all natural ingredients.”'
