THE SAUSAGE FACTORY (WITH PICTURES!)

I decided to make some home made sausage links today.The process is rather disgusting,to say the least.Especially the part where you shove the pork mixture into the "hog casings"(read:intestines),they come in a package covered in salt,you rinse off the salt and soak them for 30 minutes then run water through them to open them up,then stuff them.For some reason it reminded me of a bowel movement...only in reverse.
I made 2 batches...
The first was ground pork with fresh minced onion,fresh pureed garlic and cajun seasoning.the second has ground pork,gourmet steak seasoning and worcestershire sauce and a touch of teriyaki marinade.
I used a guitar slide to hold the "casing" open while I stuffed it,the going was slow,and gross.



Hog "casings" soaking until they become "soft and pliable"-ewwww.



Stuffing the hog...erm..."casing".



Links!!!



EEEWWWWW...guts.

Now it's time to fire up the grill...
