the intestines of a pig, and thats how they wrap the sausage coming out of the machine??? And when we eat sausage, we're also eating the intestines??

It's the best way. Just like hot dogs with natural casing. Mmm... sausage. I got some good NY dry sausage from the butcher at home, stuffed in intestine. Damn that's good eating.

Why is eating intestines any worse than eating pig?
But don't worry these days its hardly ever intestines...
A sausage consists of ground meat, herbs and spices, and possibly other ingredients, generally packed in a casing (traditionally the intestines of the animal, though now often synthetic), and preserved in some way, often by curing or smoking.

Sausage links? it probably used to be true.
Bratwurst and larger sausages USED to use sheep intestine, but it was replaced quite a while ago with a synthetic. I would assume that the same is true for sausage links. You can still get them the old-school way at traditional butchers.

I'm not certain what the casings for sausages are made from now, but I know my grandmother made her own sausage and used the intestine lining to case her sausages with. She would also make sausage balls and 'float' them in rendered lard and turn the jar upside down to keep. You would be cooking those sausages before eating them, so you don't need to worry about the casings.

You betcha - but it is the small intestine and it is washed before being stuffed, so it really is not that bad. Except that you are still eating pig, not for me. The large intestine has the poop.

Yes, I have seen that done when I little on my grandpa's farm. Very nasty to look at, but I still ate the sausage.

must admit when I wrapped my sausage, no one ever called me pig, but hey in certain circles that could be construed as a good thing...

Yes, that is true. Also sausage is normally made of gristle etc as well.

check turkey and any other thing that comes in casings. 99.9 percent of them are pork casing and therefore the intestines

Yep. Would you like to know where your hamburger comes from, or the allowable amount of rat parts in your Ketchup?
