I visited the stand of friends at the Prodexpo 2020 exhibition, had breakfast with a croissant at Oleg Ivanov (Profsnab, Prime Gurman) drinking Cola Cao - the champion among cocoa! Oleg is the honorary "great-nephew" of Gerard Depardieu and we, surrounded by all this charcuterie with the face of Obelix, ate half a liter, oh sorry ... A PALLITRE of flavors, from parmesan to dumplings, eating croissants from France. And the mustard for chicken roll from the guys was plucking your eyes out! Enlightened my mind and all the sinuses. In general, our compatriot Gerard has good Mordor farmers!

Today I tasted Greenwise, or rather, a ready-to-eat vegetable dried product from the Greenwise company from Maloyaroslavets, which they make on the basis of the Partner-M company. In texture and in basic taste, it is reminiscent of dried soy asparagus, which I loved wildly in the early 2000s. The flavor is interesting: lamb is very real, I would even say too much. Strong grease, such a smell from a one-year-old ram happens. Mushrooms to taste. Beef is very similar, but the sweet, dense flavor, reminiscent of burnt sugar, is a little intimidating. In general, if I had not been warned, I might not have recognized jerky imitations. For example, in a bar with beer, with dim lights. In general, if you do not position this product using the word "meat", then I could have a snack on the road with such a snack. But I'm a hemophobe, and in the declared composition food products, of course, I don’t believe it if I haven’t seen the production - I’m talking about it in general, and not specifically about Greenwise
In general, if I find myself in a place where they offer me a choice of eating minced meat sausage or such a product, then I will choose such a product because of the protein value. Thanks to Artem Ponomarev, who immediately recognized me at Prodexpo on the way to their booth and answered all my questions.

I entered the field of video blogging. Tired of writing - I decided to talk with my colleagues and subscribers through a video channel. Let's see what came of it. When talking with an audience of colleagues, I ask questions and offer solutions. In this first, pilot issue, I raise the issue of product grade. Since everyone wants to buy a Doctorate, and manufacturers produce products of different quality, is it not worth returning the system that was in Tsarist Russia when the same name of sausage had several varieties and you could buy a sausage with the same taste profile for your pocket.
1. Sausage addiction
Understanding the problem is considered the main thing for an addict - this demonstrates the strength of character and often becomes the first step towards changing one's life. One of these drug addicts is David Harding, who suffers from a severe sausage addiction, but is trying to recover from it. According to Harding, he had to consult a psychiatrist in order to escape from dire consequences sausage abuse.
Like many drug addicts, Harding always kept supplies of the object of his addiction in the refrigerator. Such precautions are a remedy for fear and anxiety, but when supplies ran low, Hunding would panic. “I really couldn’t live without sausage,” David later said.
In the end, David challenged his demons to a duel. He spent $2,000 on treatment for his addiction, but, unfortunately, he still has not completely got rid of it. He eats an average of 13 sausages a day and often feels guilty when he wants to eat more. As a rule, all drug addicts have a favorite drug - in the case of David, it is McWhinney's Irish pork sausages.
David's psychiatrist, who seems to be quite knowledgeable in sausage matters, issued a professional opinion that this drug addiction is clearly not physical. But the real expert on the subject is Kevin McWhinney, managing director of McWhinney's Sausage Company. He demonstrated his products to millions of people around the world with the words: "We are glad that this gentleman loves our sausage, but we sincerely wish him success in his quest to control his habits."
2. Sausage Worship
Krod Yotchomrang was cooking dinner for her family when they found the corpse of a kitten inside a stick of sausage. She later stated that she almost threw up at the sight of it. Most Thai grandmothers would throw a tantrum and demand damages, but Krod is no ordinary old lady. She decided to make a small temple for the poor dead kitten, put candles and incense there, and began to pray in front of him.
Word of this spread, and her friends, neighbors, and even strangers began to visit the temple. Suddenly, these people began to notice a change in their lives for the better after prayer. Krod and her friends even allegedly won some sums of money in the lottery as proof that the Temple of the Holy Sausage brings good luck.
Local officials have launched an investigation into the incident. They were skeptical about luck - they were much more interested in how the kitten could get into the sausage. Of course, they suspected that the manufacturer added ingredients that were not very healthy for their products, but this version was not confirmed. As a result, the investigators came to the conclusion that the kitten somehow managed to get into the sausage factory through the pipeline.
What could have been a major scandal ended happily, and the shrine is likely to remain a tourist attraction for quite some time. Well, keep it up, Holy Kitty.
3. Sexist sausage
What does a man's sausage look like? And yes - would you be offended if you see a sausage specially for men on the shelf in the supermarket? The German supermarket chain Edeka has taken the issue seriously: men's and women's sausages are now on sale.
Sensitive people were upset, and some were furious: Frau (female) sausage is twice as thin and smaller than menner (male) sausage. And, even worse, women's sausage is more expensive. Apparently, higher quality meat is used to make women's sausage.
Among those who object to this gender-specific marketing is the political scientist Antje Schrapp, who states: “Of course, you can react to this as a joke, and probably most buyers will do just that. But this choice of product name demonstrates, at best, thoughtless sexism, defining for each gender the “correct” role and place in the hierarchy.” But according to the producer of the sexed sausage, the bottom line is that men need to eat more meat, while women should eat less and watch their weight.
Journalist Susanna Enz complained that "women, it turns out, should please, but men can just enjoy." True, some people are perplexed about such fuss - after all, a woman can simply buy a man's sausage.
Will Edeka relent and proclaim gender equality? Time will tell. So far, male and female sausages remain on the shelves.
4. Sausage for birds
Barbecue is a great way to please friends and share a meal with them. At such picnics, as a rule, uninvited guests are also welcome - birds looking for a free lunch. In Australia, for example, there is a meat-eating bird called the kookaburra, which looks like a small kingfisher. Most of all, this strange bird is famous for its cries that sound like laughter. Just don't take the kookaburra's laugh to heart - maybe she just wants a piece of sausage.
In 2011, people found a sick kookaburra that couldn't fly and took it to the Taronga Zoo in Sydney. At first, everyone thought that she just broke her wing, but further examination of the bird showed that she weighed as much as 540 grams - 40% more than kookabures usually weigh. It was too fat to fly, and for a change, it was the people who laughed at the kookaburra at that time, and not vice versa.
True, the situation was not particularly funny: the kookabura suffered from obesity because she ate too much sausage - generous people at the barbecue often treated her and chased away the dogs attacking the fat bird. Zookeepers said they had never seen such a fat bird before. In the wild, kookaburras feed on small animals, so their diet is balanced, but in the case of this bird, barbecue literally turned out to be sideways.
The bird continued to be fed sausage, albeit in moderation, and soon it was able to fly again.
5. Sausage Duel
A person can brandish a sausage like a weapon stressful situations- yes, it happens. However, Rudolf Vikhrov used the sausage to defend against the threat, which may have saved his life, otherwise he would have died in the duel. But let's go back a little and start the story from the very beginning.
Otto von Bismarck was a Prussian statesman who controlled politics in Europe from 1860 to 1890. In 1865, Rudolf Vikhrov, a pesky scientist and opposition figure, challenged his authority by protesting against Bismarck's excessive military budget.
People like Vikhrov are quite common in everyday life - they cling to every little thing. Surely there are some among your friends. When Virchow investigated the outbreak of typhus, he conducted a statistical analysis - found out exactly who got sick and where the sick people lived. He also collected detailed information about their education, income, living conditions, and more.
After a long and serious analysis, Virchow came to the conclusion that the spread of typhus was caused by overcrowding, which, in turn, appeared due to poverty caused by handicapped getting an education. The reason for this impossibility was the lack of democracy in Germany, which was carried out by Otto von Bismarck. So, according to Vikhrov's logic, it was Bismarck who was the main cause of the typhus epidemic. Could Bismarck defend his honor under such accusations?
Yes, he could - upset Bismarck challenged Vikhrov to a duel. For Vikhrov, this was not too good news: he did not know how to shoot at all, Bismarck, on the contrary, was considered an excellent duelist. And Vikhrov would have been a dead man, if not for a preliminary study and ... sausage!
Details vary, but several autobiographical sources say that Vikhrov could use the right of the summoned party and choose a weapon. So he prepared two sausages.
One sausage was normal, while the other, although it looked exactly the same, contained deadly Trichinella larvae. Bismarck had to choose one sausage and eat it, and Vikhrov had to eat the rest. Thanks to such a cunning sausage strategy, his chances of saving his life were 50%. Bismarck, having heard about the conditions, reluctantly refused the duel - so the sausage saved Vikhrov's life.
6. Doctor of Sausage Science degree
Germany is considered the sausage capital of the world - it is in this country that the "Sausage Academy" was created, in which students can earn a certificate for eating their favorite meat dish.
Founded "Sausage Hogwarts" in Neumarkt - anyone can become a sausage expert and learn all about the perfect seasonings, drinks and music for each type of sausage. The most talented students can even take a course in making Germany's "Holy Grail" of sausages, the Bavarian white sausage. Admit it, you must have salivated at the mere thought of such an education.
It is not clear if regular free samples for students are one of the main reasons for the popularity. educational institution, but to date, 1,300 students have already earned certificates, and the head of the academy, Wittmann, could boast: “I have students from all over the world, and I am glad that they spread a good word about German sausage.”
7. Sausage Museum
Tourists can visit museums of natural history, law enforcement, computers and thousands of other exciting excursions. However, one of the most amazing museums in the world can be found in Berlin. In Germany, a typical street fast food is a dish called currywurst - pork sausage with spicy curry sauce and ketchup. This popular sausage has a fascinating history, and tourists can learn all about this marvel of German culture at the Currywurst Museum.
The Sausage Museum is interactive because it affects all the senses: there are spice chambers, snuffing stations and a sofa made of real sausage, on which a waterfall of sauce falls from a height - and, of course, visitors are offered to try french fries and currywust.
Also in the museum there are exhibits showing how currywust is usually sold - for example, from the stalls of street vendors or in clubs and bars. You can learn about the origin of the spices selected for certain types sausages and self-decomposing disposable tableware. The museum will certainly be of interest to all sausage lovers, regardless of whether they are beginners or real experts in this matter.
8. The longest sausage
This is official. This is invincible. That's funny. However, the world record for "the longest sausage ever made" belongs to a sausage that is 59.14 km long. If the pedestrian is walking normal speed, then it will take him 20 hours to walk from the beginning of the sausage to its end.
The proud producer of the record-breaking sausage is Jay Trenfield, an Asda employee from Sheffield, UK. The work took three days - from October 27 to October 29, 2000. Guinness World Records spokeswoman Sarah Wilcox says that since then there have been many contenders for a world record in this category, but no one has yet managed to beat the current record.
Wilcox noted that Guinness World Records distinguishes between the world's largest sausage based on weight and based on length. There are other options such as "the longest vegetarian sausage" (100 meters), "the longest smoked sausage" (482 meters) and "the longest chain of sausages" (1500 meters).
9. How many sausages can you eat in a minute
Some people like to eat slowly and savor food like fine wine, while others devour food like pigs. The latter, of course, is regarded as a faux pas, but only if you are not looking for fame and fortune - for the sake of this, you can hit the sausage with your face.
In particular, there is the basis of the world record for the number of sausages eaten within one minute. The current record holder Stefan Paladin from New Zealand ate as many as eight sausages in a minute at the Ericsson Stadium in Auckland on July 22, 2001 - it took him 7.5 seconds per sausage, each of which was ten centimeters long and two centimeters in width.
Perhaps Stefan is a mutant. Perhaps he has a throat made of tin. One way or another, all attempts to beat his record failed. During one of these competitions, also held in New Zealand, it turned out that most of the contestants could not even eat two sausages in a minute. The winner of this particular event managed to eat four sausages in a minute and won a prize, but this is clearly not up to the world record. Becoming world famous is no longer as easy as it used to be, but if you love sausage, then why not give it a try?
10. Hairy sausage
The strangest-looking sausage ever made in Russia is the sausage with hair. It's very unusual and not too pretty, but people seem to like the new dish that has become popular after bloggers talked about it on the Internet. Who invented it is unknown. However, a lot of tough spaghetti is inserted into the sausage, which makes it look like a hedgehog. An amazing gastronomic masterpiece is then boiled in water - and voila! Long live hairy sausages!
Thanks to the Internet, the dish caused big interest. It's only a matter of time - sooner or later the hairy sausage will be on your plate. More and more more people experimenting with their own versions of the hairy sausage. Maybe you would like to too. Still, because smooth sausage is so boring.
11. Sausage Race
In 2013, some hardened criminals stole the costume of Guido - an Italian sausage from Milwaukee. In such costumes, people often arrange ... races. The task of the athletes is to run the lap as quickly as possible in such a suit to the hooting of the audience in the stands. The stolen sausage costume was spotted in several bars before it disappeared without a trace.
In Milwaukee, the event was reacted with horror - whoever returned the suit was promised a year's supply of mustard as a reward. No doubt the detectives were investigating day and night, but the crime of the century remained unsolved for two whole weeks.
The police may have come close to solving the mystery, but the suit was left in one of the bars by two people who asked witnesses to say they didn't see anything. It seems that the thieves were not going to claim the reward, so the case of the missing sausage may forever remain unsolved.
Think about all this at your next barbecue or death match. Remember this when the kookaburra laughs at you - sausage has become an integral part of the culture and our way of life.
Sausage is eaten and loved by millions of people around the world. But sometimes they do not just eat sausage, but do amazing things with it - strange and interesting.

Think about all this at your next barbecue or death match. Remember this when the kookaburra laughs at you - sausage has become an integral part of the culture and our way of life.
Germans and tourists flying out of Germany are more likely than other passengers to be suspected of international terrorism. The fact is that residents of Germany and guests of the country often carry in their luggage one of the types of local sausage, painted in deep red. Sodium nitrite, an ingredient that smart electronics at airports often mistake for explosives, gives the product that hue.
The love of native Germans for sausage is reflected even in their folklore. The German analogue of the Russian Petrushka has a funny nickname Hans Wurst (one of the popular characters in the puppet theater), that is, in direct translation into Russian, "Ivan-Sausage".
Doctor's sausage once really tried to be treated. The product appeared in its heyday Stalin era- 30s. The sausage was intended for very specific consumers: heroes civil war who gave their health for the power of the Soviets, and the martyrs of the tsarist regime. The name of the inventor of the sausage is unknown. But the legend has survived that he wanted to give her the name "Stalin", but was afraid.
Sadly known fact: most cheap sausages are made from anything but meat. Although manufacturers, of course, hide this from consumers. But sausages are also produced in the world, made entirely on a non-meat basis. And no one is surprised by this, and the product has its own permanent admirers. We are talking about a vegetarian sausage, the ingredients for which can be used seaweed, bran, biscuits, young wheat and even condensed milk.
In Italy, you can taste a local delicacy - sausage with mold - and not be afraid for the health of the stomach and intestines. After all, this is not spoiled, but in a special “ripened” product, which is aged for a long time in a cool basement. This sausage is called "salame". Do not try to look for analogies with "salami" and Finland: there are none. And the word "salame", by the way, has native Apennine roots. The Finns just successfully borrowed it.
The longest sausage, stretching for two kilometers, was made by Serbian butchers. The Guinness book recorded a record during one of the most beloved national holidays in Serbia - the so-called "Kolbasiada".
The national Spanish dish - butifarra sausage - was very fond of Salvador Dali. On the occasion of the centenary of the artist, his inhabitants hometown- Girona - made a giant "sausage" weighing a ton.
Sausage is a fairly recent invention of civilization. And it was introduced into use by a very specific person - the German Johan Laner, who moved to the Austrian capital at the beginning of the 19th century and opened a sausage shop of his own production there. And since Laner's hometown was Frankfurt, the new sausage product was dubbed in two ways: both Frankfurt sausage and Viennese sausage. It’s a paradox, but today in modern Vienna they don’t know about any Viennese sausages at all: the name “Frankfurt” has stuck there. And the rest of the world (including the inhabitants of Germany) calls Austrian-made sausages Viennese.
Sausage does not directly harm health. In order to harm the body, an adult must eat 100 times more sodium nitrite contained in sausage per day than recommended (0.6 milligrams of sodium nitrite per day per 1 kg of body weight). Simply put, in order to harm health, a person should eat 120 kg of sausage per day, a child - 33 kg.
Soy and kenguryatin are the last century. A rumor circulated for a long time in the mid-2000s that Russian sausages and cutlets are made from the national animal of Australia. Although the myth of kanguryatin has long been debunked, everyone continues to talk about soybeans. We hasten to reassure you: self-respecting manufacturers who adhere to GOST have not used soy protein for a long time: the GOST recipe does not imply it, and reputation is more expensive.
In Europe, sausage is no better and no worse. There is an opinion that sausage produced in the same Germany differs significantly in taste from similar Russian products. However, this is only partly a myth: in Europe, there are traditions of farm production that are passed down from generation to generation. Accordingly, the recipe is transferred. Mass production is not much different from Russian.
There is no paper and cardboard in the sausage. Another myth comes from the 90s: there is cardboard in boiled and smoked sausages. According to an expert in the field of food production, in the current financial crisis, many companies are striving to reduce the cost of production. However, pulp, wood and toilet paper are definitely not to be found in Doctor's or Milk Sausages.
Sausage under the USSR was better and safer. This is partly true, partly not. The reason for sighing about the past is only a change in the saturation of the taste of the meat base. The source of the deterioration of the meat base is only changes in the feed base of pigs and cows, which subsequently go to sausage.
