Linked in: Johnson ‘insanely proud’ to have sausage named after him
The Tory leadership frontrunner picked up specially made Boris Bangers at Heck Food in North Yorkshire.
Boris Johnson said he was “insanely proud” to have a new sausage named after him after he arrived at a leading production plant saying he had only had a KitKat for his lunch.
The Tory leadership frontrunner picked up specially made “Boris Bangers” at Heck Food in North Yorkshire, before enthusiastically accepting a string of sausage links around his neck, saying: “It’s like being welcomed to India.”
He agreed that was his top choice and he had been “ruthlessly consistent” on this point, unlike Tony Blair, who chopped and changed his culinary favourite.
Mr Johnson said he recognised the brand and had wrongly thought it was German, such was its popularity.
He said: “British sausages are now the best in Europe.”
He later accepted an invitation to use the sausage machine, trying his best to guide the meat into the skins, but his apron could not save him from a splattering of sausage meat on his smart blue suit.
