global cuisine. The National Restaurant Association's
" 2024 What's Hot Culinary Forecast " shows that classic
comfort foods are a safe way for consumers to sample
unique ingredients and flavors from other regions, both
domestic and international sausages fit the criteria.
After all, what's more comforting in America than
" baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet? "
Sausages may even be designed to fit the " healthy "
trend. Hillshire Farm, a brand of Tyson Foods Inc.,
Springdale, Ark., for example, recently rolled out
Harvest Blends. Available in smoked uncured Polska
kielbasa and smoked sausage, Harvest Blends combine
chicken and pork with quinoa, onion and bell pepper.
Another box that many sausages check is the
trend in complex heat flavor profiles, which is gaining
traction, according to the 2024 food forecast from
Whole Foods Market, Austin, Texas. The retailer
identified Louisiana Hot Links from Silva Sausage Co.,
as an example. The Gilroy, Calif.-based sausage maker
also produces Portuguese linguiça sausage, which is
available in select Whole Foods stores. Linguiça is a
pork sausage spiced with lots of garlic and identifiable
pieces of red pepper and other chilis. It tends to be a
coarse sausage and is often smoked.
Jamaican jerk sausage, on the other hand, is
spiced pork sausage, but the spices are less about heat
(capsaicin). They are more about warmth through the
inclusion of cinnamon and nutmeg, often with a hint of
brown sugar. Authentic Jamaican jerk sausage relies
on the preparation process known as jerk, and in this
instance, involves smoking the sausage over burning
pimento wood.
Maltese sausage, also known as zalzett tal-malti,
is a very salty ground pork product containing lots of
visible parsley, which provides citrus notes. There's
also smoky flavor from paprika. Other common
seasonings are herbs indigenous to Malta, including
rosemary and coriander. The sausage is never cured
or smoked.
