A WORCESTER butcher’s shop has won the title of the tastiest speciality sausage.

H Dayus Butchers, of St John’s, won the speciality category at the West Midlands Tastiest Sausage Competition, which took place in Birmingham on Thursday, January 28.

It was their pork, honey and mustard sausage that won the judges over.

The annual competition, which was organised by Heart of England Fine Foods (HEFF), pitted butchers from Worcestershire, Staffordshire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire and Birmingham and the Black Country against each other.

H Dayus’s winning sausage was made of ingredients including pork shoulder, belly and fat, Worcestershire sauce, rusk, skinned tomatoes, seasoning, water and sausage skins.

Tristan Meier, butcher at H Dayus, said: “I’m so happy to have won.

“It was brilliant to win the Worcestershire round but to win the final is fantastic.

“We entered a couple of years ago and didn’t come anywhere so it’s great to come back with a winning sausage.”

The grand final of the West Midlands tastiest breakfast juice competition was also held. Two Worcestershire producers came away with a joint highly commended award – Mill Orchard of Worcester, with its cox and pear juice, and Teme Valley Fruit, also of Worcester, with its Red Windsor juice.

The category was won by Mannings of Bromyard, Herefordshire, with its Jonagored juice.
