The gentle art of Sausage Making

Neil & Paul working in unison

The gentle art of Sausage Making involves a surprising amount of science, hand-eye coordination and good common sense.  

First you need quality ingredients, which we had a plenty with our prime quality Berkshire pork that we picked up earlier in the day, skins which we obtained from a wonderful little company in nearby Cirencester, The Natural Sausage Company,  http://www.naturalsausageskins.co.uk, who were very knowledgeable and helpful.  They also provided a standard mix and with the meat mincer ready we were good to go.

Now, as anyone who has made sausages will know, the mincing is the easy bit, getting the mix in the cases is the tricky part.  It is a game best played with spouses / partners / good friends, a bottle (or two) of wine and can lead to less mature minds seeing all sorts of innuendo but all good fun and very tasty results!
