Wimpy-style bender grill

This is a tongue-in-cheek nod to the Wimpy bender grill with the sausages bent around a circle with slashes in the side, in the original I believe a frankfurter was used - this much improved version uses chipolata sausages from Bexley's Gourmet sausage maker, bought from Hall Place Farmer's market, where we will be visiting again today as it is the first Sunday of the month.

With a few tomatoes, eggs from our chickens and a buttery mash speckled with home grown chives this is a massive improvement on the sad old Wimpy offering.
