A mango and chilli chicken sausage has been judged the Supreme Award Winner in The Great New Zealand Sausage Competition.

It was made by Peter Timbs Meats in Christchurch.

The winning sausage was described by Chief Judge Kerry Tyack as a deserved winner. He says the sausage is a superb combination of chicken, mango and chilli resulting in a sweet and spicy sausage with huge palate appeal.

Mr Tyack says it is deliciously aromatic and is generously full of authentic meat taste, given a dash of extra character via the addition of chilli and mango.
