Embutido for the first time!!

It's my first time to make embutido and I used ingredients we have home!! I didn't steam but baked it and it turned out just fine! 

So before I throw the ingredients I used and the instructions, did I like it? Or did my husband or son like it? 

For my husband it was soooo good. Ewan ko Lang Kung gutom siya or not! Pero his verdict: yummy! 

For my son: well, he mostly liked the cranberries!! And still ate a good amount. So I guess it was good!

For me: well it was fine but not the way I expected! I used ground Italian sausage Bec it's what we have. And I didn't put on vienna sausages and the boiled eggs! I used cranberries din instead of raisins. 

Anyway, ubos pa rin Yung tatlong balot!
