I told you there were 'days' for just about everything.
Plans have now been announced for the first Traditional Cumberland Sausage Day to celebrate Cumbria's favourite sausage and support the campaign to protect it from poor quality imitations.
The Cumberland Sausage Association and Made in Cumbria are currently campaigning to give Traditional Cumberland Sausages the same protection as products like Champagne, Parma Ham and Greek Feta cheese.
Farmers, producers, farm shops, restaurants and hotels are expected to take part in the Traditional Cumberland Sausage Day on Saturday 5th July, with a range of activity including tastings, demonstrations and special offers.
On Friday the 4th of July a special cook off will also be held in Carlisle to find the best Traditional Cumberland Sausage. It will also be available to try and buy at Cockermouth Farmers' Market the next day.
