Saucisses from Erken 1914: a forcemeat of 500 g pork, 250 g pork fat and 250 g veal with salt, pepper, potato starch and 4 dl cold milk, stuffed into narrow sheep casings, tied into 10 cm lengths, poached 10 minutes in salted water and fried in butter.

Saucisses are small, tied-together sausages in sheep casing – a finer type of sausage that Erken places among the butchering recipes in "Stor kokebok" (1914). They could be fried right away or stored under a layer of fat.
The forcemeat
Grind the pork and veal several times, and the pork fat separately, as for medister forcemeat. Work everything well together with salt, pepper and potato starch, and thin gradually with the cold milk.
Stuffing
Stuff the forcemeat into narrow sheep casings in one long length. Do not stuff too firmly, or the sausages cannot be tied.
Tying
Lay the whole length double and begin from the middle to tie off sausages of about 10 cm. Flip one sausage length over the other.
Poaching
Let the sausages poach gently in boiling, salted water for 10 minutes.
Serving or storing
Grill the sausages and fry them in butter, or store them under a layer of fat for later use.
Fractional measures are converted to grams and deciliters, and the method is divided into numbered steps in modern Norwegian. The reference to "medister forcemeat" is written out as grinding and thinning.
