Giggly Pig Sausages

I first encountered Giggly Pig when I was researching the Surrey Iron Railway for the history lens. After that much walking, their stand - with its grill full of sausages and pork patties - was a very welcome sight! Their produce was good enough that when I ran into them again some weeks later I tried another one to see if it was just the walking that had made it taste that good. Fortunately, it wasn't and the sausages were excellent.

With 65 varieties of sausages, ranging from the mild through the surprisingly tangy, to the violently hot, Giggly Pig has got something to cater to all tastes. Hand made from pure pork, these are also surprisingly healthy for sausages with none of the additives, fat or gristle often found in shop bought ones. Their cured bacon is also excellent, with strong flavour and rind that crisps properly.

With some many varieties the choice may be confusing, but they often offer samples on their stalls so you can find out which one you like. In addition, they also offer a full grill doing sausages and pork patties in buns - a tastier and healthier alternative to the ubiquitous burger.

Although Giggly Pig produce can be difficult to locate outside the south east, they are present at many farmers' markets in that area, so you can stock up easily. The sausages are freezable, and they have recently begun offering their produce online, making it easier to buy in bulk.

- An understatement

These are possibly the hottest sausages ever made, sending at least one Thai-food-lover heading a bucket of water and complaining it was too hot. The ingredients are best summed up as Chilli, chilli and chilli sauce, with a little extra added heat. If you like hot food, do not miss these - but also do not forget the bottles of water!
