I adore sausages. The ancient alchemy of rescuing and transforming meat that would otherwise be unappetizing into delicious luvly sausages is surely one of humanity's greatest achievements. Luvly, luvly sau...

Um.

Do you like sausages? If so, what is your favourite? What is the best way to prepare them?

Of course I love sausages! Really, though, we have to be careful with what we call "sausages." True sausages consist of ground and spiced meat stuffed into intestinal casings. Sausages with natural casings are a profoundly dynamic food, containing within them an enormous of amount of potential kinetic power. Every natural casing sausage is a bomb set to explode at the first bite. So it can be boiled, grilled, fried, smoked, or roasted, but it should never, ever be sliced up. False sausages are the extruded meats formed of finely ground meat and spices which we call "skinless." These are practically their own phylum in the taxonomy of meat. My favorite version of the first kind were the breakfast sausages served at Christine's Restaurant before their recent closing. Now the knockwurst at Katz's take the sausage laurels. My favorite false sausage is Katz's salami. I think you may be able to gather something of my eating habits from these facts.

Does this help?
