We went on a trip yesterday to Oswaldtwistle Mills, a Lancashire shopping complex.
About 3pm we went into Ye Olde Sausage Shop where the display included some described as Cumberland style. They couldn't call them true Cumberland sausages as they weren't actually being manufactured in Cumberland.

ReplyDeleteNice visual chain of events!
