Being from the UK means a nagging distrust of all Swedish sausages. Isterband is a top-notch variety of sausage. Other than that the standard leaves a lot to be desired. Yesterday was a joyous day on the gastronomic front. I, for the first time in my 27½ years, made my own sausages (under guidance from the in-laws who are dab-hands in the art of sausage-making). ‘Twas truly messy work but highly satisfactory. Resultant sausages:
The skinny sad-looking fella kind of on his own was sausage number one. The poor dab lacks the meaty substance of his compadres but is no doubt equally delicious. Some of the sausages will be donated to the ‘Sausages for Cat-minding Foundation’ currently headed by Denis O’Riordan esq.
I’m sure other stuff of note happened but it pales in insignificance compared to the afore-mentioned banger making.
