What is Italian sausage?
Italian sausage is a pork sausage that’s known for being seasoned with fennel. That’s mostly in America, with real Italian sausage being seasoned quite differently. Italian sausage was originally known as lucanica and first evidence of it dates back to the 1st century. Roman historian Marcus Terentius Varro was noted for describing stuffed spiced and salted meat into pig intestines. “The call it lucanica a minced meat stuffed into a casing, because our soldiers learned how to prepare it.” Varro wrote. The Apicius, a collection of Roman recipes, refers to the name and meat coming from the historical region of Lucanica in what is now Southern Italy.
