You thought the Liverpool 800th birthday fireworks were long gone – but not quite. Now it's the turn of the 800th birthday banger.Yes, sizzling and fizzing away to launch National Sausage Week, it's Liverpool’s Official Birthday Banger, created and sold by H. Callaghan & Son Butchers in Maghull. The ingredients include pork from just two miles away, a secret spice mix and Cains Capital of Culture 2008 beer, so no need to worry about clocking up food miles.
Multi award winning butcher Howard Callaghan said: “We wanted to do something extra special that would last beyond National Sausage Week and the birthday sausage seemed the way to go. So we contacted Cains who had a Capital of Culture brew anyway. Then our spice suppliers came up with a special blend to go with the beer. We have added extra hops too.”
