The meaning of the word “Sausage” in the dictionary means “Chopped or ground meat that has been blended with spices and other seasonings and usually stuffed in natural or manufactured casings”.
The origin of meat processing is lost in antiquity but probably began when mankind learned that salt is an effective preservative. Sausage making evolved as an effort to economize and preserve meat that could not be consumed fresh at slaughter. Sausage makers use almost all parts of the animal carcass that cannot be used in other ways. The less tender cuts and organ meats are ground, spiced and made into delicious sausages.
There are lots of innovative ways that you could use sausages besides having them with your Toast and Eggs at Breakfast. You could slice / dice fried sausages and serve them on crackers with cheese as an appetizer. Dice them and add in salads, soups, curries, etc. Grill the sausages and eat with a creamy garlic dip. Use them in Casseroles and Bakes with other vegetables and meats or you could just make a very delicious curry dish with them as under.

Hi Bridget,
Thanks for this. A couple of questions:
1) Do these sausages taste the same as the Bangalore Green Masala Pork Sausages that you get at the Pork Shop on Hutchins Road? I hope they do.
2) Does one need to have a contraption to stuff the sausages or can one just shove fistfuls of the stuffing into the casing?
Thanks.
hello Nina. Yes these sausages would taste the same as the Bangalore Pork Shop sausages. Actually, you could use a teaspoon to stuff the casings with the fillings. When making a huge quantity of sausages for commercial use you could get a machine to stuff the casings. You could google and get to know where they are available. All the best. Bridget
