Anybody ever made their own sausage?

Got some meat made up in the fridge, ready for filling tonight.
Anyone done their own before? Seasoning recipes?

Yes - took me nine months to grow it though - been through quite a few ups and downs as well

First lot made was a bit too salty... nice though.
Made some up last night and I'd put too much fennel in the seasoning.
Sausages with that slight liquorice taste

"wa wa wa waaaaa"

I've done it a few times. It is a messy business.

You have to put quite a bit of salt in, otherwise they won't taste of anything. I put herbs in last time and overdid it a bit. Green sausages, yum yum.

I started 'making' my own 'sausage' fairly regularly when I was about ten or eleven and that carried on in to my early teens until I got my first girlfriend. I've probably misunderstood this thread, haven't I?
