Butchers  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

An industrial and skilled company which manufacturers meat and sausage products and sells these products is known as a butcher. In butcher's shops not only are meat and sausage products manufactured and sold but there is also a lunchtime offer of warm meals on proffered.

The meat and sausage products are manufactured from slaughterhouse products, where the slaughter of the animals takes place. The slaughtered animals, mainly pork and beef are normally delivered in halves. The butcher processes these halves of meat to make schnitzel, chops, tenderloins and joints. The left overs from the preparation of this half are used to make goulash, goujons or other meat products.

If the slaughtered animal is made to be made into sausage products, then the guts are also used. Fried sausages for example are stuffed into the guts of the animal. The paste is mixed with different spices depending on the type of fried sausage and stuffed into the long intestine, which has is naturally cleaned before hand. Sausage products of refined sausages are also stuffed into the gut with or without meat. If larger sausages are produced artifically manufactured intestine can be used.

The insides of the animals are also processed in the butcher's. Liver, kidney, stomach and heart are also used for sausages and animal products. Pigs ears are also not thrown in the bin at the butcher's but instead offered for sale as pet food.

Animal fat is offered as belly of pork or bacon and serves for example as a flavour enhancer in the preparation of roulades, soups and also as a binding agent in sausages. The tastiest and not so lean liver sausage can not be produced without fat. It is only the fat which makes the sausage spreadable like we know it.
