ABOUT 80 butchers from across Gippsland submitted entries into the regional Sausage King and Smallgoods competitions.
At the East Gippsland TAFE Fulham campus last Thursday, the sausages were judged on five criteria: their appearance uncooked and cooked as well as aroma, texture and flavour.
Six categories of sausages were judged: traditional Australian, poultry, pork, continental, gourmet and, for the first time, lamb.
