A sausage is a short list of ingredients and a great many decisions about them. This section takes every one in turn — the meat and the fat that are ninety percent of the thing, the salt that binds it, the cure that keeps it safe, the culture that sours it, the spices that give it a nationality, and the casing that holds it — and tells you what each one actually does, how much of it, and why. Some of these pages are safety-critical and I treat them that way. All of them are the difference between following a recipe and understanding one.
The rest of the program. Ingredients is one section of the larger sausage program. The tools that turn these ingredients into sausage are in Equipment; the safety-critical cure math also runs through the Landjäger craft page and reading a recipe. Making and curing get their own sections, still to come.
