Between fen and mountains

The sausage van.

The Lincolnshire sausage is commonly dominated by the herb sage, rather than the more peppery flavour balance found in other regional English sausages such as the Cumberland sausage. Other herbs such as parsley and thyme are often used, although these are not considered authentic Lincolnshire sausages. Lincolnshire sausages are also characterised by their open, chunky texture, the result of the constituent pork being coarsely ground rather than minced. Attempts to gain Protected Geographical Indication status has been unsuccessful which is a shame as the 'Lincolnshire' sausages sold in supermarkets outside the county often do not taste as they should.
Two Lincolnshire 'old boys' are enjoying a cup of tea. They do not have their 'old boys' with them i.e. their young men/sons in Lincolnshire parlance. Confused? I have been ever since I moved to the county!
