Wow, I could never imagined that making sausages could be so easy for anyone, this is pretty nice if you want to surprise a lot of people telling them that the sausages they are trying are made by yourself, and of course the taste should be better than the others that you get at the store, so this is pretty interesting.
Many people just stop eating the variety of sausages being afraid of what they might contain, and this is good as many of the commercial sausages are made with unhealthy ingredients, or parts of the animal body that are no really good for your body, but even bad, so having the option of preparing them in your house is something that many wish I think…
Oh my gosh, thank you so much@!!! I’ve been looking for homemade sausage recipes for so long, and these sound absolutely amazing! I like in alaska, and we hunt a lot (if not all) of our meat. We get deer, caribou and moose, and we make a lot of it into sausage. Thanks so much for the wonderful tips, this will be areal money saver!
As my partner is a butcher, it is so much more satisfying eating sausages that you have prepared and cooked yourself! Knowing and regulating the kind of meat and other ingredients that your sausages contain is a great way of regulating your intake of processed meats, just make sure to buy good quality intestines because the cheaper ones tend to very fiddly and often break!
