The beloved battered sausage is crowned a Scotmid Scottish favourite

Scottish family-owned butchers, We hae meat are celebrating their delicious chippy style battered sausage being named a winner in Scotmid’s Scottish Favourites competition.

Founded in 2007, We hae meat, which is run by Carlyn Paton on the family farm in Ayrshire, is the first of five Scottish businesses to be announced as a competition winner. The contest, run in conjunction with Scotland Food and Drink, champions local producers and demonstrates Scotmid’s genuine commitment to Scottish sourcing and suppliers.

Carlyn Paton said: “As a family-owned business, we are absolutely delighted to be announced as a winner of Scotmid’s Scottish Favourites competition. It presents an amazing opportunity to work with Scotmid and broaden the reach of our brand and products across the country, taking the products we are so proud of to new audiences.”

We hae meat’s products are all made to traditional recipes, while innovative solutions ensure they minimise their impact on the environment. They implemented a carbon management plan on site in 2016, aimed at reducing site emissions, and their on-site renewables plant generates 100% of We hae meat’s hot water and 80% of its electricity demands.

Jessica van Tromp, Local Sourcing Manager at Scotmid, said: “We are always looking for new ways to diversify and grow our Scottish product portfolio so we are thrilled to introduce We hae meat products across our stores.”

Scotmid customers will be able to make their own chippy tea from Monday 13^th February. The promotional listing will run for 3 weeks, with the products priced at £2.95 for a triple pack of battered sausages, or two packs for £5.50, and £2.25 for a twin pack of battered black puddings.

We hae meat recommends that their chippy-style products are eaten with oven chips and peas, but the question stands on if they should be mushy or not!
