THE Great Hampshire Sausage and Pie competition is set to take place near Winchester early next month.
The event, aimed at finding the best of the county's sausages and pies, will take place at Sparsholt College on February 12. Entries are expected from farmers' markets, butchers and farm shops from across the region with more than 200 different sausage and pie samples expected to arrive.
However, of all the classes into which products can be entered, the Valentine Sausage is perhaps the strangest - the 14 judges will be trying to decide which sausage is the most romantic!
A spokesman for the event said: "This is a fun competition with a serious message to promote the many fine independent meat retailers in Hampshire.
"We had a tremendous response last year from butchers and public alike "
