sausage

Meat in casing

Sausage is ground meat—usually pork, beef, or a mixture—seasoned and stuffed into a cylindrical casing.

Sausages may be fresh, cured, or smoked: breakfast sausage, Italian sausage, bratwurst.

The word extends to anything sausage-shaped: sausage fingers, sausage curls.

In British slang, silly sausage is an affectionate term for someone being foolish.
