No. Buy sausage only from a local meat market that you trust.

According to Sausagefans.com, in Britain alone there are over 470 different types of sausages.
Make your own or buy from the butchers but if you buy cheap processed ones from the supermarket then yes you will get the leftovers and rubbish stuffing that no-one wants!
Cheap sausages can be made with only 30 per cent pork and 20 per cent mechanically recovered meat (MRM), a process that sucks it from the bones and mashes it to a slimy paste.
Other ingredients include 15 per cent water, 30 per cent cereal rusk plus five per cent additives, including flavourings, colour, sugar, flavour enhancer and preservatives. Sausages of this kind are often served in schools and hospitals (yuck).
Not necessarily. By law, sausages need contain only a minimum of 40 per cent meat, but "pork" can constitute up to 30 per cent fat and 25 per cent connective tissue and still be described as meat. Connective tissue can be fat, skin and gristle.
Sausages can also contain pork cheek and jowl, home to the pituitary glands, where drug residue and disease are concentrated. Beef and lamb meat can contain up to 25 per cent fat and 25 per cent connective tissue. MRM cannot be labelled as part of the meat content.
What are the skins made of? Cheap sausages use artificial collagen (from cows' feet) and plastic. Real sausages use pork intestine for bangers and lamb intestine for chipolatas. Lovely(!)
When I was younger I used to think it was all rats tails and pigs tongues. Well almost was right, eh?
Good job that I am a vegetarian... and I know what I am putting in my mouth (vegetables!!).

actually in sausages they is literally garbage because it is usually the interstines and the interstines are the digestive organs of the animal.... in some countries they stuff sausagges with bird feathers which are crushed just to fill them up

I have seen what is in the cheapest ones and yes it is vile. I tend to get mine from a local reputable butchers now. Would never ever trust cheapo supermarket ones again.

Better brands use high quality meats. Lesser brands use the parts that are cut off from the better meats, including lots of fat and parts you don't want to know about.
