Is it suitable to make sausages now? Temperature 15 degrees, cloudy.

The temperature of homemade sausage should not be higher than 20 degrees, and the lower the temperature, the better.

Sausage is a common food in southern areas such as Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. It is made by putting pork into casing made of pig small intestine, compressing, dehydrating and drying in the sun. Guangdong sausage is its representative. Cantonese sausage is made of pork, which is chopped or diced, and then pickled with salt, nitrate (preservative), sugar, distiller's yeast, soy sauce and so on.

A raw and dried sausage product is packed in natural casing and made by drying, air drying or baking. Sausages can be stored in the refrigerator for about 3 months. The main producing areas are Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Hunan and Shanghai. All kinds of sausages are made in the same way, but the materials used are slightly different.

The history of sausages

Sausages in China have a long history. China's sausage existed before the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it was first seen in the "enema method" in Qi Yao Min Shu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and its method has been passed down to this day. China sausage can be preserved for a long time without starch, and eaten after cooking. Delicious, mellow and full-bodied, with a long aftertaste. The more you chew, the more fragrant it is. Far better than enema products in other countries. It is one of the traditional foods in China and enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad.

There are also many kinds of sausages, which are mainly divided into Sichuan sausage and Guangdong sausage. The main difference is that Guangdong food is sweet, Sichuan food is spicy, and there are salty sausages instead of spicy ones in Hunan. In Zhangjiajie, Hunan, making sausages is a major project to prepare for the New Year.

On the solstice of winter, Tujia people will kill pigs and make bacon and sausages. Fortunately, on New Year's Eve, the family ate sausages and blood sausage hot pot and drank rice wine. I used to make sausages before the Spring Festival every year, but I can eat sausages all year round. However, eating homemade sausages in the New Year has become a custom in many places in the south, and it has been preserved until today.
