IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
All over the world, all different cultures created interesting processed meat products, and one of the most
popular is undoubtedly sausage.
To begin with, sausage making may be considered disgusting as it deals with using various animal parts.
Since meat is ground up, certain cuts and parts of an animal that wouldn't be served in their original forms
can be used. Literally, this means animal parts such as noses, ears, and other less appetizing areas of an
animal's body. Very often, the ground up meat and flesh is mixed with a certain percentage of fat, along with
spices and other fillers. After being mixed well, this meat mixture is then stuffed into the cleaned intestines
of the animal, which are then sealed at both ends. The result is sausage.
The meats used in sausages come from a variety of animals, although beef and pork are by far the
favourites. In some cultures, sausage made from the meat of horses is considered a delicacy. When sausages
are cooked, the cooking process sometimes adds to the flavour. While boiling is probably the simplest
method, smoking sausages will add a lot of smoky flavour.
Next time you bite into a sausage, it is probably best not to think too much about how it became the tasty
thing you are eating. After all, you don't want to ruin a good snack.
