  • About
In garde manger, the most useful way of categorizing sausages is based on production methods. We first divide sausages into two large categories:
  • Standard-grind sausages are made of forcemeats ground to varying degrees of fineness or coarseness in a meat grinder.
  • Emulsified sausages are made of forcemeats puréed to a smooth texture.
Within each of these groups, we further classify sausages by their preservation method.
