...it looks as if it was cut & pasted from somewhere and, if it was, an attribuion of the source would be useful.
Very good point Owen. I was grateful to Fiona for the background info about Swedes, but not sure if it was
original research or cut and pasted from somewhere. It's a mistake that nearly all of us make at some time or
other. (Well I certainly have!)
It is good practice to mark a quotation as a quotation and acknowledge the source. It is also a nice touch to
provide a hot link.
Thus:
"Cumberland Sausages are a type of traditional sausage that originated in the ancient county of Cumberland, England. They are usually very long (up to 50cm), and sold rolled in a flat circular coil but within western Cumbria it is usually served in long curved lengths."

Incidentally, while researching for this post I was interested to discover that this sausage got its name from
the old Cumberland pig. Heavy boned, slow to mature, and extremely hardy, the creature became a symbol
of the region, but was allowed to die out in the early 1960s. (Wikipedia)
This is a national disgrace. Why didn't anyone try to preserve the beastie?
