Port Sausage is a type of sausage that is typically made from pork, although other types of meat can also be used. It is named after the Port wine that is often used in its preparation, giving it a distinctive flavor.

History

The origins of Port Sausage are not well-documented, but it is believed to have originated in Portugal, where Port wine is produced. The use of wine in sausage making is a common practice in many cultures, and the combination of pork and Port wine is a particularly popular one.
