What is sausage made out of ?

Answer 1

Sausage is a prepared or processed product made of chopped or ground meat, poultry, or even fish. Sausage is usually made from scraps that may come from any part of the animal carcass, including blood, organ meats, and fat. Different seasonings give sausages their unique flavors, while the addition of grains or breadcrumbs changes the texture. Sausages are not a new invention; people have been making and eating them at least since the 9th century BC.

Depends on the sausage you're referring to:
