Sausages
Varies widely by style, from mild and savory to smoky or spicy, with a casing that gives a characteristic snap when bitten.
Lens analyzedSausages are ground meat, typically pork, beef, or poultry, mixed with fat and seasonings and packed into a casing, sold as links in many different styles and flavors. They're grilled, pan-fried, boiled, or baked depending on the specific type.
Where it comes from
Sausage-making is one of the oldest methods of preserving and stretching meat, practiced across nearly every culinary tradition worldwide, with countless regional styles reflecting local seasonings and meats.
Buying it
Check the specific style and seasoning on the label, since "sausages" covers a very wide range from breakfast links to bratwurst to smoked varieties, each suited to different dishes.
Storing it
Refrigerate raw sausages and cook within a couple of days, or freeze them; fully cooked, vacuum-sealed sausages often keep longer unopened per the package date.
Keeps about 7 days in the fridge.
