Pig ears optional

I'm a transplanted Kentuckian who's been in the UK for almost two years now, and one thing I really miss is Southern-style sausage (think Jimmy Dean). Home made sausage gravy and biscuits is my number-one comfort meal and sometimes I just NEED it.

So, I have a food processor and an adventurous spirit, but I am lacking a recipe (for the sausage - I have the gravy and the biscuits under control). What cut(s) of pork do I need? What seasonings? What method? Alternately, you can just donate towards a ticket home so I can eat it at my Nanney's house. Mefi-mail me for paypal info ;)

Alton Brown's breakfast sausage recipe is exactly what you need.

White Pepper, pork and salt ought to do it.

For a quick substitution, try Lorne sausage next time you're in Scotland.
