I have been researching what ingredient gives country link sausage its distinct flavor and I am coming up short.... Sausage types vary from different areas of the country and I'm wanting a southern style country link sausage. Looking through books and recipes I cant find what I"m looking for. I thought I found it and added thyme into the sausage and nope, not it at all. anyone have any ideas what that ingredient could be that you can add to say pops breakfast sausage and make it a country link style sausage.
FYI here is some of the best breakfast sausage I have ever eaten. Some dang good stuff... Its a semi dry breakfast sausage.....would like to come up with something similar to it.....
Here's my test with a sage sausage with thyme added into the ingredients.... I also added some ground annato for some color. I used annato a few times and it seems to be a flavor killer for some reason. When you add it to the seasoned meat that smells nice, the aroma goes away.....? I dont think i'll use it anymore.....
More stuff to bring along for the Guinea pigs to try at gatherings
