The answer to this question really depends on what sort of appetizer you are making and who you are making it for. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you want a sausage that is flavorful but isn’t going to overpower other ingredients, Italian or smoked sausage is a safe bet.  u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlso, these are types of sausage that most people like and will enjoy. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you want to make an appetizer that has a bit more of a kick or spice to it, using a spicy sausage such as chorizo or spicy italian sausage can help to add more flavor to the dish. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is a better option than just adding spices to a more plain-tasting sausage. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBecause a lot of these appetizers are in the form of finger food or individual portions, it is possible to make a few of your appetizers with a plain sausage and some with a spicy sausage to help cater to more people.
