We got Linus’s grandmother’s old meat grinder/sausage maker a while ago, and have been looking for a supplier of sausage skins.  Last weekend, we discovered one of the local supermarkets stocks them – they’re just hidden out the back.  A friendly man in the meat department helped us out and sold us some beef, pork and pork fat, and we got to work!

The first batch was in two flavours – one seriously herby (with a selection of fresh herbs from the garden) and one chili and coriander.  Both were delicious as a bangers & mash dinner!  Since then we’ve made some pork & leek, and there is a lamb chorizo drying down in the cellar.
