If you're like me it is easier to cite the foods I hate than those I love. I hate liver (any kind), mutton/lamb, beets & asparagus. Even when we shoot a deer I throw away the heart & liver, thinking anything on the inside is guts! How about you?

Do you eat sausage casings?  The big one for me is brussel sprouts or sauerkraut. I can't stand the smell or taste |

I don't eat deer heart or liver, either.
I try not to be too picky. I don't like brussel sprouts much, but I'll eat them. Now, lima beans, uh uh! Wouldn't feed em to my dog.

I also like brussel sprouts the way my wife fixes them (as long as they aren't too bitter) with a white or cheese sauce. The thing I hate the most is mutton/lamb. I remember we got a deli platter for our office Christmas party one year and I got some sliced meat for a sandwich which turned out (as someone told me afterwords) to be sliced mutton. I had to spit it out, it was so nasty. I see why mutton is so often served with (lots of) mint jelly: to kill the taste!!!  |

I think a lot of the smaller sketchy places who serve lamb actually just serve a 10 year old billy goat to you.
We have several excellent Lebanese, Afghanistan, Indian, and Ethiopian restaurants here in Saint Louis. They can make lamb taste less gamey than deer most of the time. I like the more exotic flavor of it. The shank is very similar to beef pot roast, but you know it's not.

It depends on the sausage casing.
There is a "natural" casing which is actually the intestine of a pig, sheep, or cow. These are edible and have been totally cleaned.
There is a collagen casing which is a man made casing.
Both of the above are edible.
There are plastic casings which should be removed before eating. Most of these are used in the production of larger diameter sausages.
The last casing used is never seen by the consumer. It is a plastic casing that is used for skinless wieners. The emulsion is stuffed into the plastic casing and cooked/smoked. It then goes thru a machine called a peeler. This machine steams the plastic casing and cuts the casing lengthwise. Vacuum sucks away the plastic leaving the skinless wiener. If you look closely on the skinless wiener you can see this cut.
