Why travel for it

A butcher’s-hand page: not minced but knife-cut, sometimes stretched into a metre-long casing, sometimes enriched with wine, cheeses or cooked friarielli.

Recreate-it pathway

Safe cooked-sausage recipe could be developed after butcher interviews; do not publish stuffing ratios without testing.
