The Lucky Pig Triumphs at the 2024 VIC Sausage King Awards!
Our Award-Winning Sausages
At The Lucky Pig, we’ve always prided ourselves on delivering high-quality, mouth-watering sausages to our customers. This year, we brought home two major awards that highlight our dedication to culinary excellence:
• 1st Place Poultry Sausage: Our Tom Kha Chicken Sausage was crowned Victoria’s Best Poultry Sausage. This exotic and flavour-packed creation blends the aromatic Thai flavours of Tom Kha soup with premium chicken, creating a unique and delicious sausage that stood out in the competition.
• 2nd Place Continental Sausage: Our signature The Leaning Tower sausage claimed the 2nd place in the Continental Sausage category. Made with succulent pork and infused with bold flavours like craft ale, chilli, fennel, and basil, this spicy Italian sausage is a customer favourite and now officially one of the best in the state!
What Sets Our Sausages Apart?
At The Lucky Pig, we believe that great sausages start with the best ingredients. We source premium, all-Australian meat and expertly combine it with carefully selected herbs and spices to create sausages that are not only bursting with flavour but also made to the highest standards.
Our award-winning Tom Kha Chicken Sausage offers a fusion of Thai-inspired flavours that you won’t find anywhere else. The balance of tangy lime, creamy coconut, and a hint of spice elevates this sausage to a new level, making it the perfect choice for those looking to try something different.
Meanwhile, The Leaning Tower continues to impress with its rich, bold Italian flavours, making it a must-try for those who love a bit of heat and complexity in their meals.
