Sausage and Cocaine

September 17, 2025 by Morgan Delaney

(yes, please)

A retro-style businessman squeezing a sausage and saying "No sausage! But if you have some cocaine..." on a blue background

Hey there,
The pain in my shoulder is gone.
Iʼll have to tackle my ears next.

Close to our flat is a fancy ice-cream shop called Cone Culture.
They do flavours like Honey Lavender, Orange & Cloves, and Blue Cheese ice-cream.
Iʼm boring about ice-cream, so we usually go elsewhere.
(Favourite flavour at the moment: amarena cherry.)
Iʼve tried their Orange & Cloves, and itʼs good.
The problem starts when you want two scoops.
Good luck finding something that goes well with Blue Cheese.
Other than garlic.
Yes, they have garlic ice-cream.

Not that Iʼm against crazy combinations.
Walking back from the hospital after getting my shoulder checked, a group of people were dithering outside Cone Culture.
And I swear I heard the lady at the ice-cream window say, “Sausage and Cocaine?ˮ

Obviously, she didnʼt.
I stopped to check.
It was just my ears playing tricks on me again.
Damn you, ears!
Iʼve had them checked before, and the doctor said my ears are fine.
Itʼs my head thatʼs the problem.
Cheeky bugger.
But sausage and cocaine is a combination I could really get behind.

And Iʼm not the only one into strange mixes.
My latest book A Grave & Dreadful Business reached number 28 in the Humorous Dark Comedy charts during its first weekend after release.
People must be into historical fantasy horror mystery mashups.
Huge thanks to everyone who already bought it!
If you havenʼt already, you can still grab it here!
Meanwhile, Iʼm going to treat myself to some sausage and… well.
Beans, probably.
Chat soon!
