Pork and Leek Sausages
Cowbridge Kitchen
Sausages are the corner stone of any good Breakfast and there are many types of Sausage to choose from. If you go to Scotland you will get a skinless square sausage, or a spiral sausage from Cumberland.
This recipe is for a classic Pork and Leek Sausage, you are better off making your own sausage meat and spicing it up a bit, you know exactly what is going into your sausages that way.
This sausage could probably be considered a Welsh Sausage because of the Leek and this sausage meat is a great idea for making Sausage Rolls.

How to Make Sausages
Pork and Leek sausages are widely considered a Welsh recipe, probably because of the Leek. I can't verify if this is a fact , but I quite like the idea that it is a Welsh Sausage Recipe.
There are many varieties of sausage from many different cuisines, but for me the Pork and Leek sausage is the best for flavour.
Making your own sausage meat is the key to the perfect sausage, you can spice the sausage meat up exactly the way you like it.
