Hi C-H's

Yes it does. They sell a special attachment for the grinder for 
stuffing sausage casings. You can usually buy casings from the 
butchery section of your supermarket. Homemade sausage is so easy, 
and the results so much better than store bought, that I encourage 
you all to try. No need to use casings if you don't want to.  Simply 
roll the sausage meat in cling film, squeezing the air out, and 
holding on to the loose ends, drag the roll across your counter top 
so that it twists them up. You now have a cylinder of the type they 
sell in the US as breakfast sausage, and elsewhere in the world as 
slicing sausage. Chilling to semi-solid makes it easier to slice. Add 
your favourite hot stuff - powders, sauces, chopped fresh peppers 
(for immediate use only) or flakes. Difficult to go wrong. One of MY 
favourite things to do is add spices typically found in Indian food. 
Experiment. It is fun.
