It *used* to be said that the only piece of pig that didn't make it to the table was the
oink. The whole charcuterie industry grew up on this philosphy: don't waste it.

Hence black pudding, haggis, sausages of all sorts etc. And even when made from
*interesting* body parts, I'll wager they were better tasting & healthier than the
cocktail of sawdust, chemicals and other fillers that passes for an average sausage
these days.

Now, which evolter can I think of who makes his own sausages..?

Cheers
Martin
