British Breakfast Sausage

British Breakfast Sausage is different from American sausage in that it generally contains “rusk” or breadcrumbs along with water or stock.  These two ingredients, along with the processing, produce a fine textured sausage that I always look forward to when I visit the UK and Ireland.
