Leftovers? I've always been of the opinion that sausage was already made of those leftovers. All the odd bits of meat and fat, ground and spiced to disguise the origins (of course, pork fat is a great and traditional medium for bringing out the flavor of spices).
I had pictured pretend sausage as being made of, say, soy protein. Yuck is still the operative word. Someone decided to fashion an imitation of our traditonal American hot dogs our of (mostly) soy protein. Yuck! I could easily agree with the name they gave it, which should serve to warn anyone off this vile product - "Not Dogs!" Unintentional truth in advertising!
