I read somewhere that sausage sales especially premium sausages are on the rise. Many guest here at our boutique hotel in the lake district, 1 Park Road Luxury Boutique Bed and Breakfast in The lake District many guests comment on our sausages as they are hand made by our local butcher- Huddlestones in Windermere. Contrast this with a bed and breakfast we once lived next door to who deep fried frozen sausages- nice!
In times gone by sausages was the way to preserve meat but they may be on the up but with people preferring quality sausages A survey from 2011 suggested that the region where the most Cumberland sausages are sold is in Sussex- especially Eastbourne, Horsham and Shoreham. The city with the highest sales of sausages is Bristol although perhaps understandably the further north you come the more sausages are sold.

Why am I rambling on about sausages? An article in The Times mentions the rise of the breakfast was discussed. Many appear to agreeing with Shakespeare who said “And then to breakfast, with what appetite you have” In times gone by only 40% of us had breakfast before we went to work.The English breakfast was on the decline from the heady days of the Victorians who created the tradition sitting down to a full breakfast whilst reading the morning papers. The Times article suggests that having breakfast is good for you. Not having one affects your mood, lower your blood sugars- makes you grumpy and worried with a 27% higher risk of having a heart attack. And for those concerned about health and our waistline, eating more calories at breakfast leads to a 33% drop in risky blood fats and better blood sugars. Various breakfasts have added calories- 2 kippers- 255, two poached eggs on toast with grilled tomatoes- 304, boiled egg with soldiers- 185 or scrambled eggs with smoked salmon 185 calories- all offered at 1 Park Road
When people come to 1 Park Road, Luxury Boutique Bed and Breakfast in The lake District breakfast is seen as one of the special treats. We do find that many have a full English on their first morning but not thereafter. It reverts to poached egg on toast, scrambled egg. omelettes, or a special such as Arnold Bennett, kippers or Eggs Benedict. People are clearly more aware of health and complement the cooked breakfasts eat fruit salads, yogurts, fruit compote
