Got a recipe recommendation or are they trade secrets?
Recipe? I wish.
We really don't know what we're doing. We just get together with a couple of friends, and everybody brings some kind of meat plus a bunch of herbs, spices, and veggies. Someone picks up a big bunch of fat from a butcher, and however many miles of casing we think we might want.
That's pretty much it. Combine whatever strikes your fancy, grind, and stuff.
We screw up everything it is possible to screw up, and yet the resulting sausages are so much better than anything we can buy (including from the specialty sausage makers), that we are surprised every time we eat them.
Yes, we use good quality ingredients, but still...

Tough choices, gang.
Bacon or sausage?
Turn around and there'll be a "I Coulda Had Ham With That? (OT)" thread.
Cinema Cafe across from M.E. serves the "Meat Lover" for breakfast: both these PLUS ham and eggs, hash browns or home fries, choice of bread or English muff.
I was checking out some of the threads whose topics parallel this one.
On the first page of the I Love Bacon thread, Beatrix Kiddo of Littleton, CO, posted this: "I much prefer sausage."
On the last page of that thread, some norwegian rascal bumped it with a recommendation for using it to keep one's skin complexion "savory" and vibrant and smelling like bacon. Looks as if great minds think alike if we were both looking for "parallel realms."
Shut UP, Grossman! I'm only joking!

Breakfast grease, however, from fried pork products is a problem. It is Number One goodie in the diet of roaches. I must be very conscientious in cleaning up after frying bacon or sausage, else it's a sure invitation for any roach in the building, and there's millions of the little pests.
I keep the grease stored in a can in the reefer to let them know who is the boss. (I can hear the little bastions laughing and it's the middle of the day. I KNOW they are laying eggs in the computer and scanner but there is nothing to be done. Too bad roach eggs aren't that tasty...I've tried every way I can think of, but they taste nothing like chicken eggs.)
Here's what I'm having for lunch/dinner today.
I posted the wrong photo. Sorry about the focus and the roach.
Take 2.
What would sausage made with bacon taste like? Probably bacon. Hmmm....
