sausage making

Grinding meat, encasing

Sausage making is the process of producing sausages—grinding meat, mixing it with fat and seasonings, and stuffing it into casings.

The term commonly appears in the phrase like watching sausage being made, describing any process better appreciated for its results than its messy particulars: Legislating is like sausage making—you don't want to see how it happens.
