"sweet' means unflavoured ie no herbs or spices; just meat. The term is also used of fresh water cf salt water. The best sweet sausages in London come from Camisa and son on old Compton st in Soho. They are often taken from the skin and used for pasta sauces and stuffings. They should be pure pork (puro suino) and unflavoured. I think there's a recipe of mine on site which is Bolognese and uses peppers and de-skinned peppers for pasta.

Hi Brian I'm in Italy, but I've never heard of them. We have two types of sausage, the first is similar to a cumberland (in a spiral) maybe flavoured with fennel or chili, the second is a very meaty sausage, which is sliced in half & grilled or fried. In Italy they use the word 'dolce' - sweet to describe savoury food, for example 'Gorgonzola Dolce' is not 'sweet' but is a milder version, or Prosciutto Crudo Dolce' is mild parma ham, maybe you need mild flavoured sausage. If you can supply more info I'll try to help .

Thanks Livewire

Brian, do a Google search. Lots of sites with recipes. Mainly pork and various herbs and seasonings.
