Swiss face sausage shortage |
|
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7188679.stmSwiss butchers have raised the alarm over a shortage of the Brazilian cows' intestines used to wrap the nation's favourite sausage, the Cervelat.
The Swiss Meat Association says dwindling stocks may run out by the summer, when football fans descend for the Euro 2008 championship.(snip) A joint "Task Force Cervelat" composed of scientists, bureaucrats and industry representatives has been formed to tackle the sausage crisis.

If you're shopping for face sausage, be sure to hold out for the Swiss variety. Anything less is barbaric.
