Subject to official verification by Guinness, Alistair Paul from A&I Quality Butchers in Inverness is set to be crowned the world record holder for most sausages produced in one minute.

Paul went head to head against Nigel Ovens from Mearns T McCaskie butchers in Wemyss Bay in an initiative organised by QMS to raise the profile of the skills and innovation displayed by traditional butchers in Scotland.

Carol McLaren, head of communications at QMS, said: “One of the main aims of the world record attempt was to raise the profile of the skills and commitment of our butchers who are at the heart of communities around the country. The Guinness world record attempt made for a fantastic fun spectacle and our thanks go to both butchers for a very exciting showdown.”

All the sausages made in the record attempt were produced using Specially Selected Pork.
