Sausage-making traditions handed down as Italian-Australians spread word on social media

In a shed in Adelaide, the Chiazza family is hard at work. It's pig day and they're making enough Italian sausages to last their family an entire year. When you cook, you got to cook with love. You can't be in a hurry. Isn't that what you always say? Waves of Italian migration to Australia took place following the Second World War. Many brought their recipes and traditions with them. Yeah, there we go. Slow down. But this? Nunu says he rented for a few years after moving and wasn't able to make sausages or wine until he'd bought his own home. We bought our house where we live in ale and we just had to do everything, wine, everything. Mostly we do wine. That's an interesting thing you got to do because it's good for your health. Pig Day also represents family and community. Oh, it's a special day for us because we have like a feast. We make sausages, then we have a BBQ at lunchtime, and then we cooked dinner for maybe 30 people at night. Younger members of this family are documenting the recipes with the help of social media. I love posting my food content on there At the moment, it's my favorite way to share to my friends how I cook. When it came to the sausages we posted all over Instagram, everyone saw it and it's a way of teaching as well. It's amazing that over the years you'd think, you know, there's a possibility that these traditions would die out. But our kids, I see it in my kids and they're, they're the youngest of the family. They love it. A love passed on through generations, all thanks to these humble sausages.
