The sausage which I've actually stuffed in casings is korv, a bland Swedish
sausage which along with beef and pork, often contains potatoes or barley.
It is stuffed in hog casings and ends up about 1 inch diameter and 16" long.
It's big at Christmas time, but was available year round in my half Swedish
half Italian hometown when I was growing up.
I once took the hydrofoil from Copenhagen to Malmo Sweden just to say that
I'd visited the auld sod and there was a korv stand at the pier. Turns out
that korv is generic swedish for any sausage and I ended up with a hot dog.
They call them polsers in Denmark and served them with a roll, but not on a
bun. If you google korv, there are some recipes. I believe they've replaced
the ferrys with a very strange looking bridge tunnel combination now. Too
bad, the duty-free aquavit was ice cold and great!
