SAUSAGE factories have defended their reputation, saying they are worthwhile businesses without which there would be no sausages.
After Nick Clegg disparagingly referred to sausage factories in an interview, sausage professionals have demanded to know what exactly is so bad about making cylindrical pork products.
Sausage factory owner Tom Logan said: I also object to the idea that sausage factories represent mindless conformity. I mean you can add all sorts of things to sausages, like chives or even apple.
“We’re pretty much artists, working in the medium of pork.
It’s enough to make me think about chucking it all in and making fishermans pies or something. Then – no more sausages.”
Sausage factory worker Donna Sheridan said: People dont say Look at that stupid car factory with all its wheels and glove compartments.
If Nick Clegg tried to run a sausage factory it would be like a Norman Wisdom film, with liquid meat squirting out everywhere while he frantically ran around with a bucket.”
The British Federation of Sausage Makers is now planning a nationwide PR campaign including open days at sausage factories, although not the ones that use tendons and anuses.
