Well that got your attention!

Sausages!
An amazingly common food and relatively cheap, can be healthy and versatile in cooking.

There are more types of sausage than a girl or boy can experience.

So what types of sausage are there and what do you do with them?

What are your favourite recipes for sausages?

How about hot-dog recipes?

We could open a can of worms here, or something like that.

I can't help, I've given up eating meat..

PS: People do silly things for love..  ;D

There's all kinds of sausages, I often get a package of these for various recipes which you can find on their website

They also make several types of various other sausages  :)

Mostly grill them - The Johnsonville Variety: Original - MmmmMmmm!

A can of fried worms is no doubt healthier... After hearing one factory worker describe what actually goes on in sausage factories and what goes into sausages, never again. All thanks to the horse meat scandal.

My first vacation job was in Liverpool in the 1970s in the UK in a factory that has a national name for making pork pies. I tossed the 'meat' in the grinder, never ever ever eat one since. There are no new scandals.

But sausages!

I'm Australian, there is competition to make them. We are bringing back the butcher. What's in your sausage is important.

I want to to see my butchers' sausage! I want to know it!

If I eat another sausage, I want to see it made before my eyes at the butcher. I think everyone feels the same. But we have such short memories, don't we. By next year, no doubt, we'll forget it ever happened and we'll again be eating pork pies and sausages made from meat scraped from the factory floor.

I eat Quorn sausages,there's a huge variety of meat and veggie sausages around,a well known brand of veggie sausage tastes like a bendy roller.I like Lincolnshire sausages,spicy pepperoni ones and hot dogs.The owner of the guest house I manage tried introducing a German snack Currywurst, a hot dog in a bun with curry powder and tomato ketchup mixture.I sold one in 18 months!

I love German sausages, nice, big, fat, juicy German meat is gert lush

Can I be rude or ignorant?

I'm an Aussie I've seen some stuff about meat on the news but really have no idea what its about. What was/is it all about?

C

There's been a huge fuss in the press about traces of horse meat being found in a huge amount of food, hardly any supermarket chains have escaped the scandal.
Several big name food brands have been hit by it as well.

Here's a link to the BBC news about it, if you do a google search for HORSE MEAT SCANDAL you'll get about 35,400,000 hits!!!

I've just modified this post to include this timeline of how it all unfolded

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/feb/08/how-horsemeat-scandal-unfolded-timeline (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/feb/08/how-horsemeat-scandal-unfolded-timeline)

Horse meat has been found in meat products including school dinners

Kielbasa, sauerkraut and apples.  In a slow cooker.
Kielbasa and au gratin potatoes.

Hot dogs and mac and cheese.  My kids loved it.

How I learned to stop worrying and love the wurst...

Was out fishing with an old friend, years back, and said that I wouldn't eat fish from the lake we were fishing because of pollution - he looked at me like I was dumb, and said "Who cares? You're going to die of something."

By the same token, I figure that by the time it ends up in my sausage, the horse was probably done using it.

When my kids were younger, one of my daughters decided (while in High School) that she would no longer eat any "red meat."  So when I made the traditional spaghetti and meatballs, I would make spaghetti and sliced pesto turkey sausage instead.

Worked fine.

I've been waiting four days since Cindy started this thread for this reply, and you aren't going to talk about Haggis,  the granpappy of all sausage?  <sulking off>

I don't really enjoy sausage, but I love Morning Star Farms vegetarian sausage links and patties. So easy, just stick them in the microwave and viola! I like the patties on an English muffin and I enjoy breaking up the sauasage links and putting them in some scrambled eggs or using them to in breakfast burrittos.

Sausage and mashed potatoes with gravy takes some beating as a great meal.

Honey we have to careful,

Jamie D has just found out people eat vegetarian sausage, it is a crisis for her!  Her whole perception of culinary art has been destroyed!

Jamie D remembers the Scottish war cry:   Give me Haggis!!! Or Give me Death!!



I just had a separate but horrible, terrible,  thought!

To our Hawaiian members - don't tell me there are Spam sausages.

If ye plooter mah haggis, ye wull git yer haun slapped.

I use this kind of sausage...must be rare among the Australian, but popular in Chinese supermarkets. Can be sliced into small pieces and used in soups or "vegetable rice" as a secondary ingredient at small amounts. Usually 1 or 2 in a pot of soup in enough to improve the taste.

I like American sausage links but miss the breakfast sausages from England. Anyway, I also love batwurst. The big fat juicy kind that's a little spicy. Add some Cock sauce, also known as Sriracha, for more heat on the side and you've got a quite a mouth blaster to wrap your lips around.

Also, chilli cheese dogs are awesome. Get a hotdog, bun and add some chilli and shredded cheddar.... mmm.
Nothing better.

Chili cheese dogs with sauerkraut are better!

There's a German "meatery" for lack of a better word near my place that does jerky, dried biersticks and some of the best kransky, bratwurst and weisswurst you'll ever have! They even do their own saurkraut and yes Devlyn, their haggis is pretty good too! All round great place!
I came to terms with the whole "what goes into sausages" thing years ago. Just don't think about it, it takes away the magic ;)

P.S. I am surprised we are all so PC so far! Innuendo levels are lower than an episode of the brady bunch!

I've just had a veggie currywurst,I've tried introducing the meat version here without much success.You won't catch me putting meat in my mouth!

Great line!

Having been a cook for 20 years or so I know what really goes into sausages or ground meat for that matter.
If this grosses you out my apologies but what really goes into ground meat is meat (muscle tissues), fat and tendons. 

As for sausages add more fat and spices and there you have it.  I know there are misconceptions of what goes into sausages like some floor scrapings etc. but really if you think about it why would that intentionally go into the final product?  Unless of course due to mass production with any food there are allowances for a certain degree of foreign things that can go into the mix.  And really if you made let say a sausage at home don't you think there is a chance you dropped a hair in it?

I am a omnivore and yes I like sausages etc well ok don't care for wieners/bologna but that's a matter of choice of taste not what is in it. 

Really any food we eat whether it is meat and yes even vegetables have things in it that should not be in it.  We have eaten probably a wheelbarrow of dirt a year for all our lives yet we don't think about it since it is inevitable and just part of nature if you will.  Not saying to be a dirty slob either but the very air we breath isn't pure either but we live and grow:)

By the way love the Subject name definitely caught my attention!  Bad girl you:) or is it me that's bad eh whatever:)
