Sausages

=Sausages= There are two kinds of sausages, fresh and cured e.g. salami. There are two parts to making sausages, the filling and the casing. The casings are usually made from animal intestines. Sausages can be made from different kinds of fillings, but the most popular are beef sausages and pork sausages. Chemicals are added to cured sausages to kill germs. Salt and sugar is also added to fresh sausages, and also herbs and spices, and sometimes vegetables, such as onion and garlic. Beef comes from cows. In Australia beef cattle are farmed on giant cattle stations in the Northern Territory, North Queensland and the Northern Western Australia. On these stations the cattle roam freely and mostly eat grass except in a drought. Then the farmer feeds them hay. In southern parts of Australia there are intensive cattle farms where the cattle are kept in pens and fed by the farmers every day.
