    I wonder if sausages with skin not made from intestine will still be allowed to be called sausages, since that’s what a sausage is supposed to be made from.

    I guess they’ll have to come up with a new name for blood sausage too.

      Interestingly, those names carry different meanings in different languages. For example, a “Wurst” in Germany (which now has to be meat) is either the meat based food product or alternatively a sausage shaped object. So the whole EU ruling makes even less sense because it removes long established meanings from words or makes those illegal.

        Strictly speaking, black pudding is a kind of blood sausage, but we’d probably use the former term for the entire category in Britain.

        Some people classify haggis as a sausage, but it’s definitely not a blood sausage.
