Namibian boerewors is a much loved part of Braaivleis or BBQ.
It is a South African influence on Namibian cuisine. It is a staple now in Namibia.
I actually made the sausage from scratch and it was a fun and somewhat challenging experience. The nice part of it is you decide what you put in the sausage. I chose beef and pork and used pork belly for the speck. You can decide the ratio of fat and flavors that you want.
I had a bit of challenge stuffing the sausage as I did not have the sausage stuffer attachment for my Kitchen Aid. I ended up using a pastry filler and it worked okay but my casings broke several times which was the challenging part of the sausage making.
I would definitely encourage you to get a sausage stuffing attachment. Here is an option if you don’t have a sausage stuffer. Please note this is an Amazon affiliate link and I do get a small commission, however it does not affect the price you pay.
