Chef's Note
“Enjoy these savoury sausages as part of a hearty breakfast, or serve traditional "Bangers 'n Mash" for dinner. Chef’s Incredible Tip: After you thoroughly wash and rinse the sausage casings, soak them in pineapple juice for 24-36 hours (in the fridge) and then rinse them again prior to stuffing them. This process softens the casings and makes them much more tender and palatable!”

- Knead together the pork, veal, fat, and bread.
- Stir the salt, pepper, cayenne, nutmeg, mace, thyme, marjoram, sage, onion powder and lemon peel into the egg, and then knead into the meat mixture.
- CHEF'S NOTE: At this point, I fry a small sausage patty and taste it so that I can adjust the seasonings, because the recipe so far is fairly mild.
- Firmly stuff the mixture into the prepared hog (sausage) casings.
- Prick any air pockets with a pin.
- Poach, broil, grill, or fry them before serving.
- Serve the bangers, drowned in nice thick onion and mushroom gravy, with a heap of mashed potatoes.
- The raw sausages can be refrigerated for 3 days, cooked sausages for 1 week.
- They can also be frozen (raw, poached, or broiled) for 3 months.
