Many varieties of sausage are available, each
with a unique flavor. Sausage is meat that is
chopped and seasoned, then stuffed into a
casing. The meat may be any kind, such as
beef, pork, veal, chicken, or even fish. It can be
spiced with seasonings such as salt, pepper,
sage, garlic, ginger, onions, or herbs. Sausage is
sold raw for cooking and pre-cooked or
smoked—ready to eat.The frankfurter, or hotdog, is the most well
known and popular type of sausage. It was
named after the city of Frankfurt, Germany, but
has become an American icon. Hotdogs are
practically guaranteed to be on the menu at
sporting events, amusement parks, and
backyard cookouts all over the country.
