The 2011 Sausage King Competition

|
AMIC represents the independent butcher shops throughout Australia and is the organizer of the annual Sausage King event. This is a serious competition where members enter their special sausage formulations in six different categories to be judged in regional heats to predetermined criteria.
The competition starts off at a regional level across Australia, before moving to the six state finals, then culminating in a National Competition. The winners will compete in the National Final in Melbourne in February 2012.
