Onion dominant, mushroom and bacon for overall roundness, whole seeds for flavour contrasts, bit of bite from the ground pepper, small seasonings for complexity. I was wanting something that fit the full flavour of a beerwurst or kielbasa but was more suited for cooking. If this sausage was to be smoked then poached I think it would be amazing. It was well appreciated at supper.

This looks very interesting: very different to a 'normal run-of-the-mill' sausage. Is the cure #2 just for when smoking, or do you include it in the fresh sausage. Why the baking powder?

#2 because of the raw ingredients that both come out of the ground, the tang it gives, and the possibility of smoking. Baking powder for water retention and improved browning; in this case (because 1 tbsp is a fair bit less than .07), it was mainly for browning.
