Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
SAUSAGE FACTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD
Sausage has been around for a long time. Books and texts from ancient Roman and Greek cultures mention sausage meats. In fact, the deeper origins of the word “sausage” come from the Latin words “salsica” and “salsicus.”
Sausage starts as chopped-up meat. The meat traditionally comes from different parts of an animal. It can be mixed with other ingredients to create new textures and flavors. In parts of the United Kingdom, sausages tend to have a lot of breadcrumbs in them. Of course, seasonings help make each sausage particularly unique.
Sausage casings used to always be made from animal intestines. When people first started forming sausages into links, they used intestines to hold the meat together. Today, some manufacturers still use intestines. Others prefer alternative casing sources, such as edible collagen.
Sausage is an umbrella term. Specific types of sausage, such as chorizo and andouille, have their own characteristics and purposes. For example, salami is a kind of sausage that’s often used as lunch meat or on a snack tray.
Sausage shares a holiday with pizza. Each year, October 11 is designated as National Sausage Pizza Day! (We think it’s okay to just celebrate sausage and not pizza, though.)
And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
