Sausages are a meat product made from ground meat, often pork, beef, or poultry, along with salt, spices and other flavourings.
Typically, a sausage is formed in a casing traditionally made from intestine, but sometimes from synthetic materials.
Sausages may be preserved by curing, drying (often in association with fermentation or culturing, which can contribute to preservation), smoking, or freezing.
Sausages come in a huge range of national and regional varieties, which differ by their flavouring or spicing ingredients (garlic, peppers, wine, etc.), the meat(s) used in them and their manner of preparation.
