Sausage rusk
I was told yesterday that sausage rusk and bread crumb are the same thing,I have always thought rusk was biscuit meal or similar?

Re: Sausage rusk
From a sausage website
"Yeastless Rusk is simply unleavened bread that has been baked and dried before being ground into a fine crumb. You can also use regular breadcrumbs but using Rusk gives a good and consistent texture to the sausage, it also retains the moisture within the sausage better than breadcrumbs giving you a more succulent sausage, and finally because it is yeastless it gives the sausage a longer shelf-life."

Re: Sausage rusk
I acquired my last batch of sausage rusk from our local butcher. Had to ask though as he 'doesn't usually sell it'.

Re: Sausage rusk
Most real butchers will sell you some they always have it to make their own sausages. If you tell them it's for fishing bait and not for making your own sausages they chill out very quickly and find some.

Re: Sausage rusk
It's weird stuff, we used to put it in small-holed swim-feeders between two plugs of groundbait so it would expand and push them out; the idea being that all the feed would be shed in the swim rather than during the retrieve*, yet if you put too much in a groundbait mix, it will bind ferociously. Probably a good call for pastes, thinking about it.
*The fault in the logic being that it only has to expel one of the plugs to be free, whereupon the other can stay put and come out at a random spot along the retrieve.
