    Before you buy anymore @pete just take a look at the ingredients. Most likely full of mechanically recovered meat and chemicals for colour, flavour, preserving. Nasty texture too.

    Foxes deserve better.

      I seem to remember one of those , In the Factory, programmes showing how they made them, I can't remember much but I think they filled a plastic skin with a kind of meatlike slurry and then smoked it.

          At Uni in the late 70's a penniless friend decided he would try smoking dried tea leaves, don't try this at home, it was amusing and he did eventually stop coughing.

                Isn't Wiener another one named for its (possible?) place of origin?

                Hamburgers from Hamburg, Frankfurters from Frankfurt, Wieners from Wien (Vienna).

                  A useful piece of information: A sausage is "viiner" in Estonian, clearly from the Hansa trade past referring to Vienna. "Viineri" in Finnish means a Danish pastry. There have been some surprises in cafes. :biggrin:

                    Yes @JennyJB but Wiener has another meaning which is probably what repulsed @pete.

                    @Selleri what the Brits call Danish pastries are known as viennoiseries in France and includes croissants which were made to mark the Austrian victory over the Turks who were at the gates of Vienna.

                    Incidentally, in France, if your croissant is straight it's made with butter. If it's curved (as you might expect from the name) it is margarine or other fats.

                            Funny i've not gone to the dentish since leaving school, the only bad teeth are the one's that was drilled and filled, i do pull the broken corner bits of the tooth myself as the filling fell out

                            Miss Jiff also stoped going to a private dentish as things were so say needed to be done, so far she has not had any problems

                            I think there is lots of money being made for things that do not need doing :th scifD36: ;)

                              My wife seems to require far less work to her teeth since she stopped using a private dentist and got an NHS one. She's also saving a fortune on appointments for checkup. Her old private dentist charged £80 for a checkup and that was about 15 years ago.
