Home Made Sausages

[Nightglow]

Has anyone made their own home made sausages', is it worth making them?

Been having a early spring clean, & found a electric sausage maker I bought some time in the last century.

Obtaining the Hog casings is easy, just wonder whether it's worth all the effort to make them.

And it won't be horse.

I'm wanting to make some bison sausages, lucky for me there is a bison farm not far from me, & they have a farm shop.

The meat isn't exactly cheap, & ready made bison sausages are £6:10p per lb.

But the skin is quite expensive to get hold of.

Been looking for hog casings, & found a place, which I didn't consider too expensive, p&p has to be added though.
Apparently 28-35mm is the ideal size for the breakfast and bbq type sausage.

ENGLISH HOG
(Approx. 38mm, our most competitively priced hog casing) 3 Spools- 35yds @ £9.95p

Using 25 yards, should make 152 about 6"sausages.
