    The document is a silly poem about sausages and differing definitions of what constitutes a sausage. It discusses how EU regulators want to define a "genuine" sausage as containing only meat, which could make British bangers and other types of sausages substandard. It then mentions other unusual types of sausages like organic varieties, protein substitutes, and Lorne sausage from Scotland which is sliced and square-shaped. The summary concludes that the EU definition may miss the full experience of cooking and eating different types of sausages.

    A silly sausage standard

    What’s a sausage?
    A general definition from Alexander and Britton,
    “a long round thing containing meat and several more or less edible additions and
    flavourings.”1
    Unit measurement,
    Recognition precise I thought.

    But EU regulators have made noise,


    The Euro sausage—genuine meat they want.
    The headache only just begun,
    All your British bangers are but beat,
    Sub-standard, sorry, quality not.

    Contemplate some odder ones,


    How about the organic sausages? Conservation grade?
    Even the proto-vegie strain?
    Wonder protein substitute—
    Eats like meat, so what?

    Close encounter of the other kind,


    The Lorne sausage,
    In square-shaped slices—
    A feat of imagination?
    The awkward Scots.

    Still, this is sure to miss,


    The whole sausage experience,
    The sizzling on the barbecue,
    The full cooked breakfast—such a treat,
    Mmm ... scoff the lot!
