(Quaker) sausage and mash

Eye was amused to hear that the home of the football team called 'the Quakers' - Darlington - also hosts another Friendly tradition. A local butcher makes 'Quaker sausages'. We wondered what ingredient rendered them Quakerly, and discovered from the participant who lives in that town that they are very pure and what’s on the label is what’s inside'. A marketing campaign is called for here, to displace the awful Quaker oats.
