Show us your sausages

[robjh]

I turned my hand yesterday to sausage making, and these are my first two little beauties.

For a second I thought I had logged into a swingers forum! Good skills though, they look almost good enough to eat.

I've passed this on to Miss Goodbody, who loves a sausage. She says she's currently wrestling with a black pudding.

Confucius said "a sausage is a burger trapped in a skin, cruel"
It is easier to make a burger with nearly exactly the same ingredients as you put in a sausage. Stop being cruel!

I make a few kilos every couple of months, but my all-time fave is still Lincolnshire with half pork shoulder, half belly, and tons of fresh sage. [/QUOTE]
The emphasis being on fresh sage and not the tasteless dehydrated stuff. I actually have no idea which pork meat I use. I just tell the butcher I am making sausages even though I am making pork burgers. I will take account of what you say and discuss it with him. Sounds like a lot of fat (pork belly) or am I just making assumption??

These ones are belly pork with a bit of liver, fresh sage and (not fresh) juniper + garlic, salt and pepper.
I used belly to get enough fat content but I think I overdid it, there were like geysers of hot fat streaming out and onto the barbecue below. But mmmm, ohh the taste!

Yes delicious.

Mrs rjh is currently on a low-carb thing so it had to be 99% meat (or 50% meat and 49% fat was more like it) this time. But a whole world of sausage-making has now opened up.....

I was being polite.
