Making St Andrews Day Special!

November 28, 2011 By

St Andrew’s Day is the feast day of Saint Andrew. It is celebrated on 30 November. Saint Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland and St Andrew’s Day is Scotland’s official national day. In 2006, the Scottish Parliament designated St Andrew’s Day as an official bank holiday. 

Another Calendar date like St Andrews Day means another opportunity to rustle up a special sausage recipe and this year for St Andrews Day Heaps are very happy to present the Braveheart Banger!

Its made with Pork, Black Pudding, Wildflower Honey & Apple. Guaranteed to keep you warm, even if you’re wearing your kilt!

Helping you celebrate Thanksgiving Day!

October 31, 2011 By

Thanksgiving Day is a holiday celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada. Thanksgiving is celebrated each year on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. Because of the longstanding traditions of the holiday, the celebration often extends to the weekend that falls closest to the day it is celebrated.

Here at Heaps Sausages we love any excuse to try out a new recipe, and special calendar dates are a great example. So we may normally be English but in the week of the 6th November we are as American as Blueberry Pie.

To mark this year we’re introducing our Thanksgiving Day special, the Star Spangled Banger to really help our US cousins get in the mood. Its made with Turkey, Fresh Cranberries, Butternut Squash & Cream!

So pop into the kitchen & join in the Cheer!

We are a nation obsessed with sausages. Last year, according to market research company Kantar Worldpanel, we consumed around 132m kg and spent nearly £500m on them. Sales have risen by more than 13% in the last two years, with some supermarkets recording increases of 30%. Our ultimate favourites are pork, but how many of us know what is going into them?…
