It's impossible to imagine authentic Ukrainian cuisine without homemade sausage. This is an absolutely natural and unique product.
Meat (often pork, sometimes beef) and salo (pork fat) are used in order to cook homemade sausage. Pig's gut is stuffed with meat and salo, boiled, and then fried on pan or baked in oven
