Sausages being smoked

This is a list of notable sausages. Sausage is a food and usually made from ground meat with a skin around it.

Sausage making is a traditional food preservation technique. Sausages may be preserved.

  • Sausages with the same name in different countries may be identical, similar, or significantly different.
