country sausage

Farm-style pork tube

Country sausage is a style of fresh pork sausage associated with American Southern and rural cooking, typically seasoned with sage, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Unlike cured or smoked sausages, it's sold raw and meant to be cooked immediately.

It's often formed into patties for breakfast or crumbled into gravy: biscuits and country sausage gravy.
