So how long will it take to make this 35 mile long sausage? Butchers estimate about two days to fill the sausage using 15 and half tons of meat and over 5-thousand extra strong skins.
The meat won't go to waste. When the Olde English Pork Sausage is done- it'll be cut and packed and will go on sale in London's supermarkets.
