Any sausage is good sausage as far as I'm concerned. Store bought are dependable, reliable, and as a result, can be a little boring, but are good in a pinch when you have no other option. But man, those artisinal sausages sure do come in a crazy variety of shapes, sizes, and flavours. Homemade allows for more of the passion and innovation of the 'sausagiste' (ooo new word!) to come out.
