Hints
This clue's indicator is 'misses' and it's a deletion indicator. We'll need to delete some fodder from some other fodder to reach our answer.
This clue's fodder is 'Satisfactory', 'sausage', and 'first and second medals'. We'll use the letters of only one of these; for the rest, we'll need to find synonyms and substitutes. We'll use all of these to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s).
Our definition here is 'delicacy', and our answer will be another word for that.
The answer to Satisfactory sausage misses first and second medals for delicacy (7) is FINESSE.
FINESSE is correct because “delicacy” defines it, and the wordplay builds it from FINE (“satisfactory”) plus letters derived from sausage and a deletion of G and S (gold and silver).
And since you asked to include them: just like DRAFTS is the go-to fill for the “Folder for unfinished emails Crossword Clue”, FINESSE is the go-to vocabulary match when a cryptic clue defines “delicacy” as tact and subtle skill.
