Your sausage is packaged in bulk, and each 1 1/2 pound package will make about six large patties. We suggest rolling them in the palm of your hand, and then patting them out on your grill or skillet with a spatula. You may want to use a weight as they cook if you like them thin and crispy like we do!

They can be made with any meat but most sausages eaten in the UK are pork sausages made with pork meat, fat, a cereal filler, water, herbs and spices. You may not want to know what goes into sausages at the bottom end of the market. A typical recipe might look like: 30% pork fat, 20% recovered meat, 30% rusk and soya, 15% water and 5% assorted e-numbers, flavourings, sugar, flavour enhancer, preservative, colour etc etc.

In "The Blood", Kramer and Newman are seen making sausages in Jerry's kitchen accompanied by some festive music. The song they're playing is "Ma?ana (is soon enough for me)". Originally recorded by Peggy Lee, the version used in the show is the Hammond version performed by Jackie Davis. (Capitol Records Ultra-Lounge series, volume 2, "Mambo Fever".)

Natural skins are made of the intestines of pigs, sheep or cow's intestines. The natural skins are semi permeable and allow the sausage to 'breath' during cooking - letting some fat out and keeping the juices in. Artificial skins are made from collagen which is normally from cow skin, these tend to be used by the poorer quality sausages and are not used by many of the 700 Producers listed on the site.

There are fire limitations in the National Parks and Wilderness areas. These limitations are usually based on elevation. In Yosemite, fires are prohibited above 9600ft, in Kings Canyon National Park, and the John Muir/Ansel Adams wilderness areas 10,000ft, and 11,200ft in Sequoia National Park. In addition there are several heavy use areas where fires are also prohibited. It is encouraged that hikers use stoves to cook.

I agree that you can perform Google searches without success for US merchants. The only suggestion I could have made went out of business on 2/25/07. You might inquire at The Scottish Merchant mentioned elsewhere in this FAQ. Phone: 703-739-2302. Ask for Carter.

The FSA found that sausages contained roughly 300 calories per 100g. Assuming that sausages weigh around 75g (6 per pound), this means that an average sausage contains 225 calories. Reduced fat sausages contained an average of 162 calories per 100g - nearly half the average. Reduced fat sausages are clearly better for us, but do they taste good? See our review to find out.

Tom: Ukrainian Sausage is a food that really exists. But before I found that out, I was thinking to myself why Ukraine doesn't have it's own food, like French Toast, Polish Sausage, Irish Potatoes, etc. Turns out, there really is a recipe for kielbasa that is called "Ukrainian Sausage". One of these days, I'll put the recipe on here. Or, it could refer to something else, but only if your mind is in the gutter.

At the end of the day I'll leave your kitchen clean and full of the aroma of good home cooking!
