A butcher has created what he believes to be the world’s most expensive sausage.

Kevin Turner, from Aldershot, created the £37 sausage to mark British Sausage Week, which kicks off today.

Like no other banger in the country, Turner’s frankfurter is made from mangalitsa pork, truffles, Stilton cheese, powdered cep mushrooms and a dash of vintage 1947 port.

Speaking of the luxury sausage, which would cost £700 per kilo, he said: “The average British sausage will cost you 35 pence each. These will be more than 100 times more expensive at £37 per sausage.

“The single bottle of port is £450, the Stilton was £250, the pork works out at £25 per kilo, the truffles at £70 and the cep mushrooms at about £50.”

The superior sausage has been dubbed the 'Magnificent Mangalitsai', after the pig from which it is derived.

Not just your average chipolata, he described his meaty creation as a "posh banger" which might appeal to "those sausage connoisseurs with a more discerning taste".
