Does anybody know what snausages are actually made of??

Ninja_scrotum

Sometimes I find a crunchy piece of cartilage or bone or something when eating me sausages, and I nearly retch. I'm thinking of quitting the foul things for good.

Does anyone know what kind of shyte they put in sausages? Especially the ones that are only 40% pork. Do you think they use eyeballs and hooves? A bit of tongue? I can't find any info online.

Mmmm, snausages.

Nah, sounds like snout or snot or something else in it.

Archeron

40% pork, 10% sawdust, 15% monkey paws and 35% scrotums. (not ninja scrotum though)

Spend a bit more on decent sausages.
Like everything else, ya get what ya pay for.

Offal..

Decent snausages still have the odd bit of shyte in them. Are there any butchers around that can tell me?

There should be a butchers forum. I'm off to feedback.

Why not just make sure you buy the ones that are 80-90% pork? They arent hard to find.

As much as I wouldn't eat human burgers.

I don't want to know what's in them. I'll still eat them. "Ignorance is bliss when it is folly to be wise"

i asked this once, appartnly the crunchy piece has the flavour in it or something.. i havent ate sausages since i was about 8there rank so it doesnt really bother me.

If I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life it would be sausages. I love them. Superquinn are the best followed by Granby and Olhausen. Shaws are the worst.

Dick Turnip

used to work in a butchers - prob best if you didnt know!

but the ones we made consisted mainly of trimmings (not always pork either!) rusk spices and water.

having said that i still eat the little beauties:D

A sausage has everything in the pig except the brain. Fact.

Seen a few writeups about pork being linked to cancer.

Sausages are gods gift to christians

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm pork

Mena

Pork Pork Pork! When will the Irish realise there's other types of meat you can make sausages out of!!!

robinph

Used to work in a pork pie factory as one of my beer money earning jobs as a student and was working on mixing up the "meat" quite often. There would have been a lot more actual meat put in the better brand products that they made than the stuff for the cheap supermarkets.

As far as i can tell they are largely made from elbows and arseholes.

I've seen it done in the meat factory...they boil the meat off the heads of the pigs and use other cheaper cuts of meat and mix them up and then you have your sausages! Didn't put me off eating them, but it does make you want to eat decent meat tho.

I cannot seem to find the link right now, but somewhere on the web there's an explanation of why the EU wanted to rename the British Sausage to "Emulsified High-Fat Offal Tube", and Jim Hacker, the Minister for Administrative Affairs actually reads out a report by percentage of what the sausage contains.

I love sausages but I think I like them slightly less now......that's absolutely disgusting

I can't believe people have been eating sausages without knowing this stuff. I always try to find out what ****e is in the food I'm eating, not that it stops me

The only thing not used up from a pig is the squeal...:D

Therefore I don't eat sausages/burgers....muck.

Lips and assholes are the main ingredient used in most Irish sausages.
As a chef there is not a hope in hell i would eat them.
Where i work we go through about 200kg a week and you should see the amount of fat that comes out of them in the deep fat fryers.And the ones we use are in a good chunk of catering establishment's throughout the country.

Jesus. If this is true, then god - I'm never eating them again.

Never really liked them to begin with tbh.

constitutionus

The actual quote is closer to "earholes, arseholes and eyeholes" but still I love a good sausage. Fry em up properly and theres not a lot than can beat a juicy tasty sausage

When that happens, they slap a "Premium" sticker onto the packet!

When I found out what sausages were made of I started eating skinless ones. Lasted about a week before I admitted I missed the pig gut.

I work in a Butchers shop and factory part time, and most of what has been said is crap,especially about boiling the meat off the heads,pudding is boiled meat. a typical mix of sausages consists of 70% meat with the rest being mase up with meal,seasoning and water, and the meat is all trimmings off sides of pork and legs not elbows and arseholes and certainly not off the floor
rant over gush:)

I like sausages!

Especially those big thick brown ones when you've for an unmerciful hangover!

(of course, not the same without some brown bread and a bit of ketchup!)

gcgirl

With brown bread and brown sauce!! i am feeling a little hungrey now!!

AdMMM

With all this talk of morning fry ups, I can't wait for morning to come

Thats a bit like the scene in the film The Great Outdoors. John Candy was eating a hamburger, and Dan Ackroyd told him the ingredients were "lips and arseholes". A later print of the film had that comment dubbed over with "offcuts".
I often wonder where the racehorses that break legs and are destroyed go. I know they are not given an injection to kill them as the end-user would be affected. :rolleyes:
