FOOD Now is the time for garlic sausage D ue to popular demand, Shanklin butcher Paul Murphy this summer will again be producing his much sought after garlic sausages, created with fresh wild garlic, which is hand picked and collected locally. Paul also produces a number of other types of speciality sausage, which includes locally made ale. He now believes that the number of different varieties he has available is over a 100, of which many are permanantly available in his shop in Regent Street, Shanklin. Paul said: “I like to change things round, and apart from the traditional sausages, you never know what will be in my window, anything from pork and smoked bacon to lamb or rabbit. Eventually I hope to reach 150 different flavours.” The wild garlic sausages are on sale now from Paul’s shop and will be available for the next few weeks. www.visitilife.com 71
