Sausage Making

This week also found me learning a new skill. Sausage Making!. My good friend Stuart from Southborough Butchers is hoping to go to Nepal later on this year to help build a house with the charity Habitat for Humanity. He needs to raise a great deal of money so he decided to offer sausage making lessons. I was first in the queue. What a giggle. There is definitely an art to it. I now have a great deal of respect for all of those people who appeared on the Generation Game and made complete fools of themselves. It's a lot harder than it looks.

I managed to get the knack of getting the sausage meat into the skin but trying to twist the things so that they looked anything resembling sausages was a bit of a disaster. However this did not appear to affect the taste and sausages are now a staple part of our diet.

  1. Wow! I am impressed! I have learned quite a few things since I have moved out to the country, but sausage making will probably not be one of them.

    My hubby found your blog by random chance. I love it. We live on a dairy here in the Mid-western USA and are doing our part to live simply. My name is Rebecca, you can find me at http://dairydaze.blogspot.com/

    Now that gardening season is here I mostly will be blogging on that, and my 2 year old, Ellen.

    It's nice to meet you. Happy blogging!
