A little clarification.

Cumberland sausage is a form of sausage that originated in the ancient county of Cumberland, England, now part of Cumbria. They are traditionally very long (up to 50 cm), and sold rolled in a flat, circular coil but within western Cumbria they are more often served in long curved lengths. Sometimes they are made shorter, like ordinary British sausages, and sometimes they are coated in breadcrumbs.

There's a saying: "If you ever watch sausage (or hot dogs) being made, you'll never eat it again"


I think I'll never watch it being made!

That's not a Cumberland. That looks more like kielbasa...
