sausage casing
Links' outer skin
Sausage casing is the tube-shaped material that holds sausage meat in its familiar cylindrical form.
Traditional casings are made from animal intestines—usually pig, sheep, or cow—cleaned and prepared for stuffing.
Modern alternatives include collagen casings and synthetic materials.
Some casings are edible; others, like plastic casings on bologna, must be removed before eating.
