Sausage Making
Because the children were on holiday today they got to join me in making sausages. A group of us got together and experimented with about 5kg of meat and made zillions of sausages. I have to admit that I don't like the high content of fat in most of the meat here, but putting that aside we made some pretty good ones. I shocked them all by adding spices like cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg then added dried figs, apricots etc. and also added some pieces of cheese to my 1kg. Pretty good for a first attempt! I got a sausage maker thingy too so hopefully from now I will be able to do some experimenting and make some lower-fat, more adventurous sausages in the near future.
WOW! Proper sausages! I have to ask you about the skins...
