Three intrepid explorers borrowed a digital camera from Zepler stores, and voyaged out in their unknown. Their mission : to track down and take photos of the elusive Sausage.
An informant, who has asked to remain anonymous (for fear of ridicule), suggested that these sausages might be found at a place known as a supermarket, and we were given directions thereto.
For what must have been minutes, the team drove, following the route, eventually ending up in a large carpark. The supermarket seemed to be nowhere in sight, until we remembered we had been told to recognise it by its codename, Sainsbury's
With this crucial piece of information the supermarket was easy to find, and so we entered... Internally, it is arranged into many coridors, called aisles by the natives of the supermarkets, and it wasn't long before we spotted some sausages.
We found a multitude of different types of sausages... frozen sausages, sausage hotpot, sausage rolls, and vegetarian sausages (we didn't know sausages ate meat, but there you go...)
Eventually, we found the elusive hotdog sausage, pictured below.
Maybe some Americans would dispute the sausageness of this, but we invite them to take a closer look at the red writing just below "Trueman's".
Whilst a little fuzzy, this clearly says, "American Style Hot Dog Sausages", thus proving that these items are sausages.
What next? We had to find sausages in their native environment, rather than held prisoner against their will in the supermarket. So we took a guess and went to Southampton University Student's Union's Coffee Bar.
Here, found they were quite openly selling sausage-inna-bun as 'hot dogs'. So we bought one and ate it.
The sausage-inna-bun (aka 'Hot Dog').
And so an end came to the Great Sausage Hunt. Few who witnessed it will remember why.
