Cumberland Sausage uses no breadcrumbs, only meat.

3½ lb Pork Shoulder.

.......

A sausage like this (similar to German Bratwurst) needs fat...smile.png

Only shoulder is too lean, this will lead to very dry sausages.

50:50 shoulder - belly should be more juicy and tasty.

agree - the most common mistake of home producers of meatproducts is that they don't add enough fat in sausages and pastries.

I suppose it would depend on how thick you make the sausage and if you are brave enough to try to make one long coiled sausage.

I make this quite often

Hot Country Style Sausage

2 1/2 lbs boneless pork butt or shoulder
pork fat
2 1/2 tsp rubbed sage
2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp ground white or black pepper
1 1/2 tsp marjoram
1 tsp crushed red chile
1/2 tsp savory
1/2 tsp ground cayenne chile
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Cut the meat (and fat, if necessary) into chunks. Spread out on a pie
pan or cookie sheet and place in the freezer to chill (not long enough
to freeze, just long enough to become firm). Grind the meat and fat
together twice, using a coarse blade. Add the spices to the meat and
fat mixture and knead it in thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate at
least a couple of hours or overnight. The sausage can be stuffed into
prepared casings or formed into patties or appropriate bulk portions
and refrigerated for up to 3 days before use after which any remaining
should be frozen.

Note: Original recipe calls for enough pork fat (if necessary, it
(depends upon the amount of fat in the pork) to make a 2-to-1 meat to
fat ratio. I eliminate that and substitute 1/2 cup dry white wine
after grinding the meat.

Please try the products from TGM (Thai German Meat).Usually available at Tesco and Big C's. Here'e their website:

My favorite is the "Wiener". Liver sausage, ham, etc......

Many TGM products have MSG inside + still taste bland/factory made.

I know there are worse but still not good

Pork shoulders have fat content , just don't choose a lean one if you prefur , the best breakfast sausage made with real skins ,i've had in Thailand was from Yorkies in Jomtien when norman was alive he's recipies are from years of being in the butchery trade ,RIP Norman.

This is a fairly common recipe that is found in many places on the internet and whilst it's OK, it's not great and we've been experimenting as to why. One theory is that we've become so used to spicy flavorful food in Asia that rather bland recopies simply don't cut it any more, I think Yorkies realized this when they formulated their Cumberland product. We've even tried doubling and tripling the amount of spices used to see if that improves the taste, sadly it hasn't but we're still working on the problem.

Do you have a good burger recipe as well ?

I use this recipe for my burgers and personally think they are great, the secret is in getting good mince, I mix 70% best lean mince with 30% of the cheaper fatty mince and the mix seems about right.

why would i want to add all that to quality beef?

oyster sauce? come on.

I make a lot of stuff from bread to pies, but sausages are just too much work for me. Tops sells Lincolnshire sausages which at least for my taste are pretty darn good

Do you make your own socks and pants?

In the Bizzaro world of TVF bizarre comments, thats one of the most bizarre!

There should be a TVF Prize for 'Bizarre Comment of the Week'

I tested CP's premium sausage brand "Bücher" sold in Makro.

The "bockwurst" which looks a bit like short wieners is hopeless, although well smoked, the taste is weakish and a little too sweet, but the most negative thing about it is how fat it is - there are big chunks of soft fat enclosed in the sausage. The first couple were disgusting, and then I cut them in slices and pan-fried them. I had to pour fat off two times! I think at least 15% of this product is excess fat.

The second product I tried from "Bücher" was the "bratwurst", and this one is much better. No funny fat and the spices give it a taste that remotely reminds of a german bratwurst, although the CP one is smoked.

But it was pleasant to eat and I will buy that product again.

Just discovered that Tops stocks Yorkies Cumberlands, cheaper than at Rimping, oddly. Anyway, got tired of waiting for Rimping branches to restock this product, which they never did, so I bought all the YC's that TOPS had, six packs, should keep me going for a while. smile.png
