What happens when Daniel Faitaua from 7 Sharp and James Smith, The Tattooed Butcher, get together to make a sausage? Pork, coconut cream and green onion, apparently!

Daniel brought the flavour idea, James brought the butchery skills, and Seven Sharp came along to capture it all. Their sausage made a special appearance at this week’s People’s Choice judging, where voters gave it a try after casting their votes.

Catch all the sausage making action on Seven Sharp tonight Friday, 25 September 7pm channel One.. The show will also reveal the Dunninghams Great New Zealand Sausage Competition People’s Choice winner.
