Sounds good - i'll certainly give it a try.

I'll dig out my notebooks and post my recipe for mergez, vegetables and couscous. It's about time I cooked it again anyway.

Tristar, I've tried it! turn out quite well. I put the crackers in the mill and turn them to powder form before using them. I feel that it's easier to mix as compared to breadcrumbs. cheers!

Hi Lance,

Thanks for that information, I still have two weeks in Deepest Darkest Africa, but on my return I will certainly be giving it a try, Glad it turned out ok. How finely did you process the crackers? I guess different levels of processing will effect the texture of the sausage, or will it?

Thanks to everybody for their input, this has been interesting for me.

Best Regards,

Richard

I just made a batch or mergez using crushed Ryevita as rusk, they're just wholemeal rye flour and salt, and the result was exellent. At 67p for 250g it works out pricey, but in an emergency (like the one I had yesterday).....
