I'm sorry, but if someone fed me sausage they bought over the Internet, I'd need to have a health inspector present.

The line that gets me is "They are visible to the consumer." The point of sausage, in my mind, is to grind everything up until nothing can be identified. So what's visible? Veins? Nails? Flecks of skin?

Hot Beef Injectors:

Wow! Your Portuguese sausage sounds delicious! I can almost taste that sizzling pork juice dripping down my throat.

Here's the problem: $2.99 per pound seems a little steep. You say it's made with the "finest meat available," but I'm wondering if you have some that's made with lower-quality meat. Perhaps I can get some older sausage at a discount? Even if it was dropped on the floor, or maybe swept under a counter for a few weeks, I'd still love to give it a try.

Please answer soon, as I would also like to give some as a gift,

Even though I e-mailed the address on the site, my message bounced back to me. I'm guessing that means they had to shut down their festering, urine-soaked meat packing plant; filthy with the scabbed-over blood of pig carcasses; flecks of flesh decaying in the hot sun; spewing putrid, bile-retching stench into the ozone.

I'm hungry all of a sudden. Show of hands: who's in the mood for ribs?
