Newmarket sausage

Newmarket sausages are traditionally made exclusively from high-quality fresh pork cuts from the shoulder, belly or from the whole carcass, and then carefully seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices such as white and black pepper, salt, thyme, parsley, and nutmeg.

When uncooked, it is pink-beige and has a dry, coarse texture. Originally, it was eaten as a breakfast meal or a hot snack by the racegoers in Newmarket, a town famous for its horse races. Newmarket sausages are sold today as pre-packed regular sausages, cocktail sausages, chipolatas and as sausage meat, or loose from the counter.
