Independent butchers and grocery stores with their own butcher counter
are making their own sausages these days and that's a good thing
because I love sausage. In this day and age of an ordinary whole
chicken selling at "a good price" of $2 lb, I certainly understand
where you're coming from about the decent organic anything. Organic,
heirloom pork is out of sight. I had a sublime pork chops from an
heirloom breed hog earlier this year and I can only wish I could
afford to eat that way all the time.
