Delightful how Rudyard Kipling lived above Harris the Sausage King! "...for tuppence, gave as much sausage and mash as would carry one from breakfast to dinner when one dined with nice people who did not eat sausage for a living."

Would've been a good place for me to live as a young man as I grew up on sausage. The most common variety I ate was made by my Texan-Czech grandparents and other relatives. It often had venison and pork if someone had gone deer hunting recently enough. The venison was a nice touch but the pork helped it to be less dry. So delicious, and the archetype by which I measure all other sausage. The closest recipe I can find is from Prasek's Family Smokehouse in Hill (original Czech spelling is Prášek). They have multiple varieties, with and without jalapeño, but the all-beef and pork & beef have a flavor extremely close to the kind made by my relatives. I'm extra fortunate since you can now find them in HEB in Houston.
