Sausage is a kind of long cylindrical tubular food made by very old food production and meat preservation technology. Animal meat is minced into strips and then poured into casing. There are many kinds of sausages in China with a long history, which are mainly divided into Sichuan sausages and Guangdong sausages. The main difference is that Cantonese food is sweet and Sichuan food is spicy. Sausages used to be cooked before the Spring Festival every year, but now they can be eaten all year round. However, eating homemade sausages in the New Year has become a custom in many places in the south, and it has been preserved until today.
