Chicken, lime and lemongrass might not be the most traditional sausage flavour, but it has come out tops in this year's national sausage competition. Up to 500 sausages from all around the country were entered for consideration in this year's Devro Great NZ Sausage Competition, which was held in Auckland tonight. Judge Kathy Paterson, who is also the president of Food Writers New Zealand, called the winning banger "perfect." It really stood out from the rest because of its flavour combination which while unique, wasn't over the top - it was just perfect, really,'' she said. The judges included top chefs, food writers and other heavyweight experts within the food industry.
