(Almost)home made smoked sausages are usually available only during the winter holidays when most dishes are pork based and the people prepare the sausages by them self. There is no comparison with the commercial versions and I really enjoy when I find some sausages of this type in the winter markets. This is just one of the dishes which can use these highly flavored sausages. They also come in many varieties: pork with basil, pork with sheep, sheep with beef, more or less smoked, etc....

In primul rand, multumiri lui Fry pentru articolul atat motivational cat si foarte folositor. A trecut o multime de timp de cand am mancat pentru prima data sushi si in tot acest timp nu m-am gandit niciodata cat de simplu este de facut.
