Tirisfal Sausage

Tirisfal Sausage, also known as Scarlet Sausage and The Queen's Candy, is a delicacy enjoyed by races of the Horde and some among the Forsaken. Though methods vary with its production, the primary ingredients for Tirisfal Sausage are Human intestines, meat, and Cave Mold. Tirisfal Sausages are generally not smoked or even cooked, often left to cure in damp caves, musty basements and other abandoned buildings scattered throughout the Tirisfal Glades. Initially conceived as a means to frighten the Scarlet Crusade forces stationed in the Glades by leaving their fellow Crusaders as little more than hanging strands of meat being eaten away by mold, the sausages became a favored delicacy by visiting Horde soldiers and traders from Kalimdor following the Forsaken's entrance into the New Horde. The dish subsequently became popular among some of the Forsaken, despite the Forsaken not requiring traditional food to survive.

Following the Cataclysm, the popularity of Tirisfal Sausage has diminished slightly. The Forsaken's war effort and Val'kyr raising newly killed humans, the increased presence of Argent Crusaders, and the collapse of the Scarlet Crusade has made the traditional ingredient for the sausages rare, leading to a considerably markup. Rumors of some Forsaken assailing unfortunate Blood Elves and creating sausages from these victims also damaged the popularity of the dish.

A Common Recipe for Tirisfal Sausage
Recipe Courtesy of U. Sinclaire.
 * 1) - Acquire ingredients. A single adult Human will suffice, but other races offer distinctly different flavor profiles according to our friends who visit us. Gnomish intestines are far too thin to properly support a suitable amount of meat and Dwarven intestines will become too hard with age. Cave Mold is in abundance around the Undercity, both in unlit corners and at the merchant's stalls.
 * 2) - The meat should be properly tenderized so it has some consistency to allow the mold to properly and evenly spread. But too much mold will simply eat all the meat away, hence there should always be more meat than mold. Grind the meat in your jaws with the mold and vomit the contents into the intestines for maximum even proportions. This is a time-consuming process but will provide maximum flavor which our customers enjoy.
 * 3) * Human- The most common and readily available. A simple but tasty flavor profile. Moderate mold application advised. Favored generally by Darkspear trolls.
 * 4) * Dwarf- A hearty but easily fouled flavor profile. Rumored to be prone to induce drunkenness as percentage of Dwarf meat increases within the sausage. Heavy mold application advised. Favored generally by Orc and Pandaren travelers.
 * 5) * Gnome- A light flavor generally, but leprous varieties are known to have vastly varying flavor profiles. Mild mold application advised for non-leprous batches. Moderate to heavy mold application advised for leprous batches. Favored by Tauren travelers.
 * 6) * Murloc- More easily attainable than Gnome, Murloc meat offers a similar flavor profile but with an added sea-salt flavoring. Mild mold application advised.
 * 7) * Worgen- More research required.
 * 8) - When the casing is filled, place on appropriately sized rack for curing in suitably damp and foul location away from sunlight and wild animals. The casing should be rotated every two days for one to two weeks to allow for maximum curing. Do not allow the meat to be left over open flame or smoked in any fashion.
 * 9) - Serve. And never answer questions about the sausage's contents.
