What is italian sausage?
Sasuage is typically a mixture of ground (minced) meats, that is seasoned and then enclosed in a tube like casing. Italian sausage is a fresh sausage that requires cooking by grilling, frying, poaching or boiling.
Typically Italian sausage is made from pork (pork sholder) along with pork fat then seasoned with salt, black pepper, fennel seed and in some area anise seed.
Hot Italian sausage will have hot chile pepper flakes added along with a healthy amount of black pepper.
In Italy there are numerous regional varieties with varying spices mixtures.
