All butcher's secrets unraveled in the ultimate reading, viewing and doing book for every sausage lover and craft do-it-yourselfer.

The authors of the controversial Handbook for the Vinex hunter are back with an ode to the sausage. They are convinced that their obsession with basically anything that even remotely resembles sausage is not only completely normal but also very masculine. In the hope that other men will abandon their hesitation and also surrender to this pinnacle of culinary meat processing, Mr. Wateetons and Sjoerd Mulder have brought together all their knowledge about sausages. And that is a lot. In addition to in-depth philosophical sausage explanations, the book provides extensive background information and useful lists: Which sausage should you taste on holiday? And what do those E numbers in your supermarket salami mean?

Of course, the book also contains countless recipes for making famous and artisanal sausages at home. Finally, the lazy consumer also gets his money's worth: the Supermarket Sausage Guide is included at the back, drawn up by a professional jury that tasted and assessed all dry sausages available in the supermarket. (And yes, this was a tough task.)
