Good sausage comes from the butcher’s. And tastes like it did in the good old days.
A FEW STILL survive, in small towns, out in the country: traditional butchers who slaughter their own meat and make their own sausages. Unfortunately, however, the majority of today’s sausages are mass-produced in giant vats, refined with precisely measured quantities of spices, pressed into their skins by high-tech machines and weighed to ensure a uniform product. The meat is almost exclusively from factory farms in which the animals rarely see the sunlight. And that’s what the sausages taste like, too: plain and boring. Sausages from a butcher are different.
The animals come from local free-range farms and travel only a short distance. The butcher slaughters the animals himself and makes the sausages fresh from the meat. Often the sausages are regionally typical specialties, like Weißwurst in Bavaria. Always from recipes passed on over generations from father to son. Without chemical additives or artificial flavours, completely organic and natural. Like »Vom Einfachen das Gute« in Berlin or »Naše maso« in Prague.
What they have in common: meat from quality animals raised by farmers who have earned the butchers’ trust. The result is always a special taste, authentic, original, local and with a signature touch. Not a mass product, but a fresh and flavourful delicacy. The book Crafted Meat presents a detailed account of pork, beef and game. With gorgeous photographs showcasing the masters of this trade and their products. Bon appétit!
A good butcher makes his sausage by hand. The result: an incredibly tasting sausage that literally melts in your mouth.
Dalibor Křivánek’s Naše maso in Prague is an example of an authentic butcher’s shop. Specialties include the beef tartare for absolutely fantastic burgers. To find Naše maso, just go to the Gourmet Passage Dlouhá and look for the longest queue.
Classic blood sausage is a delicious blend of ingredients, cooked, dried and smoked before it can unfold its full range of flavours.
