Oxford sausages
A nice traditional homemade sausage that is quite highly flavoured and has the advantage for the home chef that it does not need a skin. I've made mine from minced beef rather than veal.
This recipe makes 18 sausages which will easily serve six people.
From Wikipedia: "Oxford sausages are a distinctive variety of pork and veal sausage commonly associated with, and thought to have been developed in, the English city of Oxford. Traditionally, Oxford sausages are noted for the addition of veal, in contrast to many traditional British sausages which contain only pork, and their high level of spice seasoning. References to the "Oxford" style of sausage date back to at least the early 18th century, but it was more widely popularised owing to inclusion in Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management, first published in 1861"

Herbs and spices for Oxford sausages. Chives, parsley, sage, thyme, nutmeg, salt and black pepper. As you can see, I like a herby sausage. I eventually halved the amount of salt pictured
Serving suggestions
I'm going to use some of these in our lovely curry sauce with rice and broccoli
Variations
Because these are skinless sausages they can easily be made into burgers.
