Which is your favorite kind of sausage?

No.1 - Lamb sausagesA favorite in Wales as well as the Middle East, lamb links squeeze onto our list of the planet’s top 10 sausages because of their refreshingly mild flavor. These appetizing treats can be served and consumed at anytime of the day thanks to their welcome combination of leek, mint and rosemary.

No.2 - Beer sausagesThere are few things that go together better than beer and sausages, which is why it was only a matter of time before a tipsy cook came up with the inspired idea of combining the two in a single delicious recipe. Beer sausages, or beer brats as they’re also known, are made by simmering bratwurst sausages in a shallow bed of dark ale until the liquid turns into a thick, sugary syrup. If you don’t trust yourself around a stove, you can also always buy beer sausage already prepared directly from your local butcher.



Beer pairing: Guinness Stout



No.3 - Italian sausagesOne of the spicier sausages on the market, these highly delectable Italian stallions are made with generous portions of pork and are flavored with pepper, fennel and chili. Toss them in your spaghetti sauce or serve them alongside some giardiniera for your very own Italian feast. Now that’s an offer you can’t refuse!



Beer pairing: Peroni Gran Riserva



No.4 - Knockwurst Another German original, knockwurst derives its colorful name from the crackling sound the sausage makes when bitten into. This tasty treat from the Fatherland contains ground veal, ground pork and fresh garlic stuffed into hog casings, and it is best enjoyed with a heaping side of sauerkraut. Danke schoen, Germany!



Beer pairing: Paulaner Oktoberfest-M?rzen



No.5 - KrakowskaThis thick, straight kielbasa gets its name from the bustling Polish city of Kraków, where it has been enjoyed by hungry revelers for hundreds of years. Luckily you no longer have to travel to Eastern Europe to savor this splendid sausage made from cuts of lean pork seasoned with pepper, allspice, coriander, and garlic.

No.6 - ChorizoThe Iberian Peninsula’s gift to the world, chorizo is a delightfully spicy Spanish sausage packed full of coarsely chopped pork, pork fat and red pepper, then seasoned with smoked paprika and salt. Over the past few decades, the smoked variety of this satisfying sausage has become a staple as an appetizer or tapas, but it’s also just as likely to please your palate when it’s cooked on the grill and served with warm crusty bread and a fresh garden salad.



Beer pairing: Mahou Clásica



No.7 - MerguezJust when you thought Britain and Germany had a monopoly on the world’s best sausages, we proudly present merguez, a spicy North African original made with either beef or lamb and flavored with harissa, a traditional red-hot chili paste popular in Algeria and Tunisia. Serve it up with a little couscous and you’re guaranteed to make your mouth happy.



Beer pairing: Celtia



No.8 - Cumberland sausages There are few places on earth that take their sausages more seriously than Britain, where a staggering 90% of households purchase sausages on a regular basis. And when discerning Brits get a hankering for a tasty tube of meat, they turn to the satisfyingly plump Cumberland sausage. Generally considered to be the meatiest of all the British sausages, this beefy banger is a chunky, coarse-cut sausage spiced with black and white pepper and made in a continuous spiral. Add a fried egg and some chips and peas, and you have the making of a balanced -- and sumptuous -- British breakfast.

No.9 - Bockwurst Invented by a German restaurant owner in 1889, Bockwurst is traditionally made from ground veal and pork, although modern incarnations have also been known to feature lamb, turkey, chicken, and yes, even horse meat. So, if you don’t want to devour one of the extras from Black Beauty, make sure to read the ingredients carefully before grilling one of these succulent sausages. This fabulous frankfurter is usually flavored with salt, white pepper, paprika, chives, and parsley.



Beer pairing: Einbecker Ur-Bock



No.10 - Bratwurst Apart from losing wars, the one thing that Germans know best is how to make a sausage, and the bratwurst is arguably their best. This long, meaty delicacy is made with either pale pork or veal and generously garnished with onions and egg to add additional lip-smacking flavor.

Cheddar bratwurst.

BEST STUFF EVER!

I love putting one on a bun and eating it just like that.

Chorizo would have to be my second favorite due to it's versatility in breakfast foods: scrambled eggs, omelettes, etc.

Italian sausage is the 3rd favorite because I love to use it in many different dinner recipes. For instance, it goes well in: lasagna, Hamburger Helper, etc.
