Italian sausage

Type	Sausage
Place of origin	United States
Main ingredients	Pork, red pepper flakes, pepper paste, fennel (or anise)
Media: Italian sausage

In North America, Italian sausage most often refers to a style of pork sausage. The sausage is often noted for being seasoned with fennel or anise as the primary seasoning.

In Italy, a wide variety of sausages, very different from the American product, is made.

The most common varieties marketed as "Italian sausage" in supermarkets are hot, sweet, and mild. The main difference between hot and mild is the addition of hot red pepper flakes to the spice mix of the former, while that between mild and sweet is the addition of sweet basil in the latter.
