New Zealand is a nation of sausage lovers. It starts with the cherrios at birthday parties as children, and grows to backyard barbies and school sausage sizzle fundraisers.
Most of us have no idea what's in those snarlers, and we don't really know how to tell the good ones from the bad ones. Sausage Awareness week aims to raise the profile of the humble saussie, and to think about what's in them.
Shaun Clouston is the head chef at Logan Brown, one of Wellington's finest restaurants. And yes, sausage is on the menu there too.

Christchurch-based artist Scott Flanagan recently spent 3-months as an artist in residency in Korea and found that the local artists work very differently. Part of his installation was almost destroyed in the process when another artist mistook his 'work-in-progress' for rubbish.
Producer Sonia Yee caught up with Scott at his Christchurch studio, which was in the middle of a big clean-up.
Tree weta probably don't rank as many people's favourite creature, but Massey University's Steve Trewick, is fascinated by them.
He's curious about where they live, and why they're found where they are. He's also interested in what they eat, which is turning out to be much more than just leaves.
Alison Ballance visits him in Palmerston North, and is taken to see student Melissa Griffin's weta diet experiment.
