Bangor Sausage

[bergere]

Bangor "No Salt" Sausage



1/2lb lean ground pork

1/2lb Veal or very lean ground hamburger

1/2 to 1 package of no salt Ritz crackers crumbled fine

1/4 tsp blk pepper

1/8 tsp nutmeg

1/8 tsp Mace (can be hard to find so ok if left out)

1/4 tsp ground thyme

1/4 tsp ground Sage

1- large egg well beaten

6oz of Veg shortening or Pork fat

*

Mix together Well- pat into circles or link rounds and cook in pan with a little more shortening until as near to golden brown as you can.

You will be surprised how well this tastes.

( note- I have since tripled the amount of spices, as I have been having to use dried spices, I like a little stronger flavor)

I'll give this a try, thanks!  I'm getting more into making and smoking my own meats and experimenting with a lot of recipes.  

Okay, so I should triple the amount of spices you have written there?  I like it a little spicy too.

looks good- I may have to try this- does the kind of cracker matter much? I never have ritz crackers in the house?

[bergere]

You could give the extra spices a try Callie and see how you like it.

Becka, could use what ever cracker you like. I just tend to have ritz's in the house for snacking, so I use those.

Great, now I'm hungry again....this section of the site is dangerous to my weight loss plans! Seriously, though, it sounds really good.

This looks delicious!  I'm going to try it.

Original English banger recipe would have bread instead of crackers. We've made it with venison and pork. To search for recipes, use banger rather than bangor.

I was wondering if this was like in bangers and mash or if it was a Maine Sausage.

[bergere]

Yes, the British recipe can either have bread or crackers, granted some of the British crackers look more like flat bread. Recipe is one I got out of a 1920's British recipe book. DH's mother was born in England, learned a few things from her.
Had to adjust the measurement system and tweaked it a little bit.

Yes, like Bangers and Mash. I make mine into flat patties to use at breakfast, but you can make them into sausage, too.
