What is sausage?
Sausage is a food made from ground meat, usually pork, salt, herbs, and spices.
Typically the sausage is formed in a casing traditionally made from intestine, but sometimessynthetic. Some sausages are cooked during processing and the casing may be removed afterwards.
Sausage making is a traditional food preservation technique. Sausages may be preserved bycuring, drying, or smoking.
The most basic sausage consists of meat, cut into pieces or ground, and filled into a casing. The meat may be from any animal, but traditionally is pork, beef or veal. The meat to fat ratio is dependent upon the style and producer, but in the United States, fat content is legally limited to a maximum of 30%, 35% or 50%, by weight, depending on the style.
Sausages may be served as hors d'œuvres, in a sandwich, in a bread roll as a hot dog, wrapped in atortilla, or as an ingredient in dishes such as stews and casseroles. It can be served on a stick (like thecorn dog) or on a bone as well. Sausage without casing is called sausage meat and can be fried or used as stuffing for poultry, or for wrapping foods like Scotch eggs. Similarly, sausage meat encased inpuff pastry is called a sausage roll.
Vegetarian and vegan sausages are also available in some countries, or can be made from scratch. These may be made from tofu, seitan, nuts, pulses, mycoprotein, soya protein, vegetables or any combination of similar ingredients that will hold together during cooking.
