An attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for the most sausages produced in one minute will take place live at this weekend’s Taste of Grampian festival.
The record attempt will be between David Patterson from Yorkes of Dundee and Steven Cusack from Davidsons Butchers in Inverurie. They will both use a Specially Selected Pork recipe mix in their attempt to earn the title of Guinness World Record holder.
Both Patterson and Cusack are members of the Scotch Butchers Club, the network of around 300 butcher retailers who support the Scotch Beef, Scotch Lamb and Specially Selected Pork brands.
The record was originally set in June 2015 by Scotch Butchers Club member Alastair Paul from A & I Quality Butcher but has since been beaten, with the current record standing at 44.
To ensure the same standards are in place and Guinness criteria is met, the record attempt will be witnessed by several officials including time-keepers, a surveyor and a ‘pillar of the community’. The record attempt will also be captured on film and via photography.
The record attempt has been arranged by Quality Meat Scotland to raise awareness of the skills and innovation displayed by traditional butchers throughout the country as well as the importance of using top quality ingredients such as Taste of Grampian sponsor, Specially Selected Pork.
Quality Meat Scotland is currently running a campaign urging Scottish shoppers to ‘Do More With Pork’. The six week campaign, which is set to reach over three million consumers, aims to showcase the quality, affordability and versatility of Specially Selected Pork, which is underpinned by quality assurance schemes which make animal welfare a priority.
Specially Selected Pork is the main sponsor of this year’s Taste of Grampian on 4th June where it will be showcased by top celebrity chefs as well as starring in two BBQ demonstration sessions.
