Summary

There are many varieties of Lyon sausages that have come of age with recipes handed down by the ancestors of the pork butchers from the city of Gauls. Among these, some are dry ones too, small and large, called the Rosette or Jesus.[5]

The indigenous sausages from Lyon are, however, made to be cooked. One of the sausages, the Cervelas, are produced short and broad with prime pork stuffing with either pistachios or truffles. It derived its name from brains since it was initially made from pork brains. On the other hand, the Sabodet with its coarser texture comes from Isère and is made from pork head, rind and meat.[5]
