Its not. The hardest bit to do seems to be getting the skins.

Bob

Getting them is easy, they're in lots of grocery stores, down my way at least and online...it's the loading of them without a sausage attachment that's messy....

Something else to look forward to when we move.

I looked into making them, its seems there is some debate on whether to use breadcrumbs or rusk. And the addition of a some pork belly meat to the lean pork mince.

Bob

Rusk would be better for a texture thing, but it's not every day kind of grocery find...and I can't be bothered with getting it online.

Breadcrumbs work well enough...though a good cheat is to just use the sage and onion stuffing mix, got all the herbs in it and it makes it quick and cheap to put together.

Uncle_Bob

Why not make your own rusk? Its just a biscuit mixture with no egg. Just mix some flour, baking powder, water, and salt together and bake.

Making my own sausage is on my to do list. It looks like a meat grinder and sausage stuffer would be the initial investment required.

Bob

I hadn't really thought of it, but then it's only me that really likes sausages, so I couldn't be bothered to go to that much effort for me.

I just make sausage shaped patties and freeze them. The Ninja food blender does a pretty good job of pulsing the pork.

Kids will eat a turkey sausage made from thighs though. Weird little buggers.
