Being one of the best known Great British Sausages of all time, the Cumberland sausage has been a local speciality in Cumbria for around 500 years.
It is not known how the Cumberland sausage came to acquire its special shape and taste. Historically, the sausage was more seasoned than it is today.
These days there are many different varieties and shapes of the Cumberland sausage that are produced throughout the United Kingdom.

Frying
Lightly glaze your frying pan with a little oil - no more. Heat your pan up to a medium to high heat. Cut the sausages individually and place them in your pan, replace lid and fry the sausages slowly - try not to keep turning them, 2 or 3 times will do. After 12-15 minutes they should be ready, but if you like them a little crispy leave them a bit longer.
Oven Bake
Place the sausages on a baking tray in a pre heated oven at 190°C or 375°F (Gas mark 5) for 25-30 minutes turning occasionally. For fan assisted ovens adjust cooking times according to manufacturer's handbook.
Grilling
Set the tray on the middle shelf, set on a medium heat and grill for approximately 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally
Blanching
Bring some water to the boil, turn down to simmering. Add the sausages and gently simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the sausages and completely cool at room temperature before refrigerating. After cooling they can be fried, grilled, oven baked or even barbecued without fear of being under cooked. They won't shrink or split so they keep the full flavour and succulence of the sausage inside.
