Award-winning pudding earns Kerryman a knighthood

A former construction boss who lost everything in the economic crash is to be ‘knighted’ for his award-winning white pudding.

John Paul O’Connor, 61, who founded Sásta Sausages and Puddings with his wife, Kathleen, near Killorglin, Co Kerry, in 2012, will travel to France next week to accept the award from the Commanderie des Fins Goustiers du Duché d’Alencon during a ceremony organised by a brotherhood which recognises Europe’s top gourmet meat products.
