King Charles fans have ‘sausage finger’ sandwiches on their coronation menu

Give ’em a hand.

Royal fans are devising creative dishes to celebrate Saturday’s coronation of King Charles III — including a snack honoring the 74-year-old monarch’s so-called “sausage fingers.”

The “sausage finger” sandwich boasts sliced cherry tomato cufflinks and even a cheese signet ring.

“Just woke up to this absolute beauty mum spent most of the night creating, pretty sure it’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. He even has a ring on one of his sausage fingers!” a Twitter user bragged Friday. “We’ll be making our way to London today to camp out over night hoping to get a glimpse tmrw.”

Fans can’t get enough of the king’s infamous sausage fingers — his digits have been roasted online since he took the throne in September following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

“Sausage fingers” was even the seventh most-searched term on Google at one point.

Keen observers have noticed the king’s hands are nowhere to be seen in portraits shared before his coronation — joking that Charles has been “bullied” into hiding his fingers for photos.

It’s shaped like Charles’ face with onion hair and cheese facial features — complete with oversized ears — and topped with a crown made of fries and jalapeños.

“To commemorate our new monarch we have produced our King Charlie Pizza,” Villaggio Pizza trumpeted on Facebook. “It’s a 1 off and not available to order unfortunately but we do have all our usual great food.”
