    Hi I have searched for this topic but to no avail.
    I wish to know why stuffed sausages in natural casings have a curve to them?

    Kind regards

      Andrew They are a natural product and are curved when they are inside the pig so they “grow” that way I guess would be the best answer?

        Being an intestine, casings are naturally curved. If they were straight, all hogs and sheep would be 75 feet long and 3 inches in diameter.😁

            processhead hi! The outside of the casings expand (due to the amount of food intake) the inner part that form the intestine ( fat ridge) doesn’t! They measure the length by the inside (fat ridge) I hope this helps with your question, regards, Squzzi
