I didn't know that sausages skin was made out of sheep intestines!
The sausages were so soft when it was attached to the machine, but when it was smoked and boiled, it became very crunchy. There are so many mysterious things about making sausages.

Now that I know the life of pigs and sheep are used to make sausages , I will try to eat it with appreciating the life of those animals from now on. Other foods also contains the life of various animals, so I will remember to be grateful for other foods as well.

I feel a sense of fulfillment when I see the smiling faces of the children as I work with them every day. The children place the meat that they kneaded into the casing and later try the SCHAU ESSEN sausage. The parents are also very happy when they see their children beaming as they eat the sausage. I look forward to conveying the fun of sausage making and the joy of eating so that children and their parents can feel happy.

The feel of kneading raw meat and packing it into casing is a novel experience that children have few opportunities to come across. I hope that by making real sausage with particular attention paid to the ingredients and the machinery, the children feel gratitude for the gift of life and its significance each time they eat a meal.
