Every April Sebastian and I celebrate his birthday by having a cooking afternoon. Last year for Sebastian’s 12th birthday we made a trifle and this year for his 13th birthday he requested pheasant and pork sausages. We minced the meat, ground spices, made breadcrumbs, chopped onion and mixed everything together to make our sausage mix. With our help the sausage making machine then forced the mixture into the sausage casings and out came all sort of different shape and sized sausages. Sebastian fried up a pan full and ate 12 sausages with tomato ketchup! Delicious!
