    You have to have onions and peppers! Throw in some hot peppers too.

    I am over loaded with them right now. We are stuffing them and putting them on everything !!

    I'm jealous of your cooking area. I love that tile roof.
    Don't be jealous, come here for a vacation and you'll can enjoy it :grin.
    During summer it works at least a day per week.

    We built it when I was 18 (30 years ago :cry) with my grandpa, dad and brothers.
    Tiles are our traditional "coppi", in fact we have recycled some coppi from an old house.

    P.S. Flash, they look like very tasty. Nice idea for the next grill session :wink.

    P.P.S. Our grill facility.

    Sorry only Southerners and Cubans know how to grill the rest of us are just copying their way. Even if yoyu have been doing it like that for 4000 years, its still southern(US Southern).


    But that looks ****. All the sausage we get from the Italian specialty shops comes in rings, and I remember cooking and grilling with Italian American friends, most born in Italy(the parents not the kids my age), and they would grill the sausage while it was still in rings. I sill cook my italian sausage in rings, I dont stick it with skewers though. Maybe next time I will put them on some skewers.

    As I said in other thread doesn't exist Italian sausage because any region has his own kinds of sausages, frequently made with particular meats (e.g. boar, deer, particular pig like Cinta Senese, etc.) and flavours.
    Take a look here: http://it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salsiccia#Salsicce_riconosciute_tradizionali (in Italian but is easy, is the -incomplete - list, for any region, of the registered traditional sausages).

    BTW almost any region has kind of thin sausage that can be rolled in a ring for cooking, but the more common are the "salamelle" that are small sausages (3/4 to 6/7 inches).

    Malpensa International airport is close to my place, maybe just the flight could be kinda expensive.

    A question for Ballak, is Olio Carli olive oil a good oil?

    Yes, it's a good quality industrial olive oil.
    Carli is in Oneglia (Imperia province) and probably in Imperia area nor in the whole region (Liguria) there are sufficient olives to cover their big production.
    So, probably they use olives from other areas of Italy and maybe from other Mediterranean countries (e.g. Spain, Greece, North African countries, etc.).
    In any case they work very well and the final product is good.
    BTW the high quality line (Extra-vergine DOP, I think they have it) must be certified, both for the olives origin than for manufacturing process (cold squeezing).

    Blood sausage on the left?

    In the my first pic ?
    In this case no, "luganega" sausages and hog ribs.
    Not so common the blood sausages in my area; and even almost everywhere aren't easy to find now because of EU rules (the use of blood is striclty regulated) and because the new generation doesn't like so much the blood-based products.

    All the different shops made completely different sausage. Although a specific style did evolve and became the norm outside of these shops, mostly for pizza and sausage sandwhiches. But if you went to an Italian shop, they each made their own sausage. Also most of my italian friends had grampas that made their own sausage, these grampas could not speak English and made an array of italian items, sausage, wine, seafood stuffs.

    Absolutely true; almost any family (any village for sure) has his own recipes for everything.
