Perhaps some of the information in these files in the FOOD-MEATS

section of the Florilegium might be of interest to you and your
husband. I've bought myself a cheapo sausage grinder/stuffer and
hope to make some of these period sausages myself.

There are a number of useful hints and ideas in the second one. Like
how much fat to add, how to avoid breaking the casings, how to tie
the links and a number of recipes and redactions. But unfortunately,
not the answers to Lady Brighid's questions. Yet.
