   Speaking of the sausage, which would cost £700 per kilo, he said: "The average British sausage will cost you 35 pence each. These will be more than 100 times more expensive at £37 per sausage.

  "The single bottle of port is £450, the Stilton was £250, the pork works out at £25 per kilo, the truffles at £70 and the cep mushrooms at about £50."

   He described it as a "posh banger" which might appeal to "those sausage connoisseurs with a more discerning taste".
