What do you give a butcher who develops steak and chocolate sausages? The butcher in question is Turriff based John Brown, who won a diamond award at the Make It with Meat Awards in Perth.

A bet was struck and once money was at stake, well, the rest of the story is just history... If you don't fancy a trip up to Scotland to sample his wares, he is opening a web site on Monday. {{COUNTERPOINT }}
