What is a sausage?
Wiki tells us that "A sausage is a prepared food product usually made from ground meat, animal fat, salt, and spices, and sometimes other ingredients such as herbs,moulds, and generally packed in a casing." "Sausage making is a traditional food preservation technique, originating in the European cuisine."
"Traditionally, casings have been made of animal intestines, though they are now often synthetic." "Traditionally they would be wrapped in the skin of the animal so they could be fried, after cooking the skin was taken off." "Some sausages are cooked during processing, and the casing may be removed at that time. Sausages may be preserved by curing, drying in cool air, or smoking." "The distinct flavor of some sausages is due to fermentation by Lactobacillus during curing."
