Italian sausage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the United States, Italian sausage is a style of pork sausage which is noted for its seasoning of fennel and/or anise, containing at least 85% meat. It is made in sweet and hot styles. It is generally not cured, and is normally grilled and eaten with giardeniera or other vegetables.
More generally, Italian cuisine has produced a variety of styles of sausage, many of which are quite distinct from the product generally known as Italian sausage. See the Italian Sausages category for more information.
