Hello!
Did you know that ham and sausage were originally preserved foods?
 
Ham sausages originated when ancient people learned that meat could be preserved for a long time by salting it during an era when hunting was still popular, and depending on the environment, it was processed by freezing, salting, drying, and smoking. He is said to have discovered this method of preservation before recorded history.
 
The origin of sausage is that it is made without any leftover meat.
In the Middle Ages, spices and other ingredients began to be used in various regions, and manufacturing techniques improved, making it possible to make a wide variety of delicious ham sausages from tough, salty meat.

Incidentally, the origin of the word sausage is sau = salted pork, and sage = the most antioxidant of herbs.
It is often said that the word "sausage" was created by combining the word "sage", which is said to have a name, "sage". I can understand that.
 
Thanks to the wisdom and efforts of our predecessors, we are now able to enjoy delicious ham sausages.
