The origins of meat preservation are lost to the ages but probably began when humans began to realize the preservative value of salt. Sausage making originally developed as a means to preserve and transport meat . Primitive societies learned that dried berries and spices could be added to dried meat. The procedure of stuffing meat into casings remains basically the same today, but sausage recipes have been greatly refined and sausage making has become a highly respected culinary art.
64-466: Teewurst ( German: [ˈteːˌvʊʁst] ) is a German sausage made from two parts raw pork (and sometimes beef ) and one part bacon ; they are minced, seasoned and packed in casings (mostly porous artificial casings) before being smoked over beech wood. The sausage then has to mature for seven to ten days in order to develop its typical taste. Teewurst contains 30 to 40 percent fat, which makes it particularly easy to spread. Teewurst

Virtually all sausages will be industrially precooked and either fried or warmed in hot water by the consumer or at the hot dog stand . Since hot dog stands are ubiquitous in Denmark (known as Pølsevogn ) some people regard pølser as one of the national dishes , perhaps along with medisterpølse , a fried, finely ground pork and bacon sausage. The most noticeable aspect of Danish boiled sausages (never

The meat may be from any animal but is often pork, beef or veal , or poultry. The lean meat-to-fat ratio depends upon the style and producer. The meat content as labelled may exceed 100%, which happens when the weight of meat exceeds
320-456: A cold smoker because of the danger of botulism . The primary seasoning agents in fresh sausages are salt and sugar along with various savory herbs and spices, and often vegetables, including onion and garlic. A British fresh sausage typically contains around 10% butcher's rusk , 10% water, 2.5% seasoning , and 77.5% meat. At the point of sale , British sausages will often be labelled as "actual meat content X%". As meat can be fatty or lean,

On the other hand, the finest quality contain only choice cuts of meat and seasoning. In Britain, "meat" declared on labels could in the past include fat, connective tissue, and MRM. These ingredients may still be used but must be labelled as such, and up to 10% water may be included without being labelled.

The major difference is that Prague powder #2 will be used in place of Prague powder #1. In addition, certified meats must be used. Since these products are never heated to a temperature that can kill trichinella parasites , it is necessary to accomplish this by other methods. The usual method

Sausages in Poland are generally made of pork, rarely beef. Sausages with low meat content and additions like soy protein, potato flour or water binding additions are regarded as of low quality. Because of climate conditions, sausages were traditionally preserved by smoking , rather than drying, like in Mediterranean countries. Since

A barbecue variety is similar to the original but with a thinner skin and less salt. In Ukrainian sausage is called "kovbasa" (ковбаса). It is a general term and is used to describe a variety of sausages including "domashnia" (homemade kovbasa), "pechinky" (liver kovbasa), "krovianka" (kovbasa filled with blood and buckwheat) and "vudzhena" (smoked kovbasa).

It is similar to Lithuanian and Polish sausages including kiełbasa and podhalańska and tends to have a more European flavour than other Chinese sausages. This kind of sausage was first produced in a Russian-capitalized factory named Churin sausage factory in 1909. Harbin-style sausage has become popular in China, especially in northern regions. Lap cheong ( simplified Chinese : 腊肠 ; traditional Chinese : 臘腸 ; pinyin : làcháng ; Jyutping : laap6 coeng4 ; Cantonese Yale : laahp chéung ; also lap chong, lap chung, lop chong) are dried pork sausages that look and feel like pepperoni but are much sweeter.

In this style of sausage, after stuffing into 70 mm (2.8 in) to 76 mm (3.0 in) hog buns or fiberous casings, the sausage is submerged in 70 °C (158 °F) water for 2 to 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 hours until the internal temperature reaches 67 °C (153 °F). At this point the sausage should be chilled in ice water, then cold smoked at

#17327839289201408-716: Is the threat of botulism . The bacterium responsible, Clostridium botulinum , is ubiquitous in the environment, grows in the anaerobic conditions created in the interior of the sausage, and thrives in the 4 °C (39 °F) to 60 °C (140 °F) temperature range common in the smoke house and subsequent ambient storage. Thus, for safety reasons, sausages are cured before smoking. Fresh sausages are simply seasoned ground meats that are cooked before serving. Fresh sausages normally do not use cure (Prague powder #1) although cure can be used if desired. In addition fresh sausages typically do not use smoke flavors, although liquid smoke can be used. Fresh sausages are never smoked in

Cured meat products typically contain less than 40 ppm nitrites. Potassium nitrite and potassium nitrate additions allow the production of sausages with lower levels of sodium. When using the potassium form, it is necessary to include other ingredients to mask

Prague powder #2 contains 1 ounce of sodium nitrite (6.25%) and 0.64 ounces sodium nitrate (4.0%) per pound of finished product (the remaining 14.36 ounces is sodium chloride) and is used for the preparation of cured dry sausages. Prague powder #2 should never be used on any product that will be fried at high temperature (e.g. bacon ) because of
