Since this is all off-topic, but still repulsive-food-loved-by-Brits related, I've got a question: On this BBC radio show I was listening to the other day, they were touring a French sausage casing factory. Some story about how they've had to lay off lots of employees---I forget the detail. But anyways, the reporter and the 'Anchor' guy were acting like stuffing meat into intestines was an unusual and repulsive way to make sausage. What the hell do the English use for casings, if they're so nauseated by intestines? Or were these guys just not sausage fans?
