I like Chinese sausages in general, especially Ren Chang (膶腸) (made with duck liver) but I remember one type that was sold in the local supermarket that had the same effect as a boomerang curry.
Don't ask for details, please.

Combine that with Google adwords which are run by a complicated algorithm that tries to match ads with the text it sees on a webpage.
To find a matching ad it has to rely on the keywords the advertisers give it. Sam's post about sausages in combination with the word China has a somehow remarkable result.
A sample:
Chinese Google Sausages

Which makes me wonder, since the websites are all business or import/export related; does the sausage trade go to or from China? Is there a huge market for Chinese sausages or for American/European sausages in China?

Would u eat a Chinese sausage??? You'd never know where it's been, or where it's going.
I do see a lot in Beijing, with lumpy bits, ie they had'nt been minced to hell, though the one time I bought a couple, those had been minced to oblivion.
I like the pre-qualified bit :-)
Further north China has a sort of salami and dried meat/jerky from Mongolia.
Wonder what happens to dead prisoners in China? If you eat Chinese saussie, beware the buttons...

"Boomerang Curry" should pretty well explain itself. Foreign sausage? Don't think I've seen any in my two main countries. Maybe some famous Italian variety, but not often. Couple of Western brands in China, but only in the fancy foreigner shops. I'm very tempted to click on the Google ad, but what's the use?
