I'd never made sausages before, and so I thought I'd ask all the crowd who showed up today what was in their sausage, in order to learn better how to make a good one. 14 different kinds of sausage!
(I apologize in advance for mangling anyone's name.)
Greet & Susannah:
Chicken, bacon, havarti cheese, granny smith, rosemary
(we're eating this now for dinner, and it's a trifle dry. More bacon, I think,
equal to the chicken.)
Kim & Michael:
Pork, onion, basil, parsley, sage, oregano, garlic, salt & pepper
Teresa/Katerine:
Pork, maple syrup, onion, sage, milk, salt & pepper

muse.)
