Sausages All the Types and Differences

Do you consider yourself a foodie or perhaps a foodie at heart? If so, then you’ll probably be keen on learning about one of the most popular food eaten around the world—sausage. There are many types of sausages and each one is very different from the other. So, next time you need to go out and buy some, consider taking a peek at this guide to help you decide which one to get.

Various Categories We Practice

One thing to note is that they are all vastly different. And while sausages in general are ground meat stuffed into a casing, the procedure on how they’re prepared is what makes each sausage truly unique.

But before diving into the different types, it’s best to cover the basics—the 4 main categories of sausages:

• Fresh – This sausage is basically ground meat without the casing.  You need to cook it before consuming.
• Dry – This term is used to describe sausages where about 60% of the moisture in the meat has been removed. It is commonly referred to as Italian sausage.
• Semi-dry – This term on the other hand is used for sausages that have had some of its moisture removed, but not enough or as much to classify it as dry.
• Cooked and Smoked – This is used for sausages that have been cured and then smoked.

The Various Types We Offer

In order to get different textures and tastes, you can cook sausages in a variety of ways, as well as use a variety of meat and ingredients. Below is a list of different types of sausages we provide here at Puri Pangan that you can try:
