But the licorice-type flavor of anise and fennel just does not sit well with me. I like the smell of burning sage, and I like dried sage in small pinches, and I like fresh parsley in small amounts. I cannot taste dried parsley at all - is there any use for dried parsley other than compost heaps? I love cilantro! But the licorice-type flavor of anise and fennel just does not sit well with me.

I must admit, though, that although I love the aroma, I do not like the taste of basil. Not even lemon basil. I've tried, but it just doesn't agree with me. I'm not fond of anise or fennel, either.

What other flavors do you not like? I am really curious. I really really do not like fresh sage. I think it smells like soapy fish, ICK! The older ground sage is great in limited dishes (mainly my Mother's corn bread turkey stuffing). I find it very interesting what herbs and spices we humans like and don't like! An outdoor cat I had loved parsley and would eat it after he ate his dinner of cat food. drchelo,

The wonderful thing about making your own sausage is that you can add or subtract anything that does or doesn't appeal to you! I don't like the casings-I don't put my pork in them! I too love really good pork loin, applesauce and sauerkraut. I made the carnita meat out of 4 lbs and packaged it in 1 lb ziploc bags and froze them. I now have a great meal for two (or more) to heat up with some tortillas, pepper jack cheese, pickled red onion, pickled jalapenos, cilantro, maybe salsa or guacamole? Maybe some Mexican rice on the side? It's all goood. :lol: Try these people and see if they can get you some pork:

I also like the idea of making one's own sausage - I would love Italian sausage were it not for the fennel. There is something in my palate's taste center that doesn't like fennel - or anise, or licorice, or any of that family. I wish I could find good hormone-and-antibiotic-free pork. Even at Whole Foods, good pork seems to be in short supply. I dearly love good pork loin - with spiced applesauce and sauerkraut on the side. Good pork does make outstanding carnitas, Scotia.
