The olives are in abundance here in the shops of Thornbury and I am keen to preserve some for later on this year.  Only trouble is I can’t find any big glass jars.  Does anyone know of any shops that sell them?

 Thornbury Meat Supply at 701 High Street, Thornbury.   

I am hooked, the pork, fennel and chilli sausages are just divine!  My partner who has an aversion to fennel even adores them,she’s Italian and says they remind her of sausages from the Italian butcher of her childhood.  It’s so hard to find a good quality banger these days.  Check out your supermarket ones, if you are really lucky they will contain 80% meat.  Just don’t ask what the remaining 20% consists of!

With a little notice the butcher will even put these sausages in a round circle, yes no links, like a traditional Cumberland Sausage. Apparently, this is a great way to share your sausages with friends when you BBQ them.  Trouble is, you won’t want to share them!!

Do enjoy and remember, Tuesday is the butcher’s sausage making day!  You have been warned…
