Meat Sausage – Hearty Pleasure

Meat sausage, also called city sausage or Parisian, is a classic boiled sausage without inserts. It is offered in the qualities “simply meat sausage”, “meat sausage” and “ham meat sausage”. It consists mainly of pork and bacon, less often beef. Depending on the recipe, the meat is seasoned with pepper, ginger, nutmeg, coriander, garlic or turmeric, mixed with nitrite curing salt and then turned very finely with ice in the so-called cutter. The mass is then filled into artificial or beef intestines and scalded or hot-smoked, depending on the desired end product.
