This Facebook post I came across in a local non-food related Facebook group in my small town.

    You cant fix stupid.. .you can try…. but it won’t work.

  2. BipolarSkeleton

    I get that it’s not plastic but I know a few people that take the casing off of the sausage

  3. Intelligent_Event278

    This is a crime against sausages

    (This was a joke, not to be taken seriously. Though it seems some have lmao)

  4. IAmInExtremeDebt

    Never heard/seen someone refer to it as “plastic” lol

  5. newmanification

    How do you think it’s plastic and still ask if you’re supposed to take it off?

  6. DruidDude_95

    I mean there are synthetic casings you do remove first and I’m not the biggest fan of collagen casings.

  7. Dannyboyrusso

    It’s called crumbled sausage they put it on pizza

  8. TheSoCalBull4000

    In my life you got the people who eat the casing and the people who cut it out

  9. chuck_the_plant

    My mother used to “peel” mushrooms, so …

  10. -DoctorSpaceman-

    Meanwhile I knew a kid in school who would eat their peperami with the plastic wrapper still on

  11. fanime34

    Do you like your sausages circumcised or uncirsumcised?

  12. I know someone who wanted to try chorizo for the first time but she didn’t remove the casing, which is inedible. She was sad and ruined a pan

  13. FelixTheEngine

    I take them off. They do not fall apart. if I want crumble just cook ground pork and add sage and some maple syrup 👍

  14. RampantJellyfish

    Everyone knows you gut the sausage before skinning it

  15. IronshinsIV

    I used to dislike the casing as a kid but I knew it wasn’t plastic 😅

  16. GunsouBono

    Typically I’ll take the casing off of chorizo because I can usually only find it in sausage form and sometimes I want it in taco form

  17. anonymousbwmb

    Actually, yeah, sometimes I remove the casing. This person is an idiot, though.

  18. Pachanish

    It’s not plastic
    Cellulose …..made out of wood pulp ( plant source usually )
    ( European s perspective, could be different in other countries , though in the far east it’s the same )

    Not edible, not harmful, , flavourless , some are meant to be torn off while others can be eaten – adds a snap to frankfurters mimicking natural casing

  19. lyidaValkris

    some people really dislike sausage skin. understandable. it is perfectly edible, however.

  20. Palanki96

    We don’t have that kind of sausage here but it’s a pretty common question for us. Some are edible, some aren’t. They can be pretty hard to figure out if the packaging doesn’t mention which

  21. AvailableAd8744

    I like my sausages without the casings, it’s the opposite for penises 😏

  22. ShakeZula30or40

    I take it off if I’m not cooking the sausages whole and the store was out of ground.

  23. Solid-Search-3341

    Natural casing is fine, but some of the synthetic ones really give a shitty texture, especially to breakfast sausages.

  24. PM_ME_UR_RECIPEZ

    So like..Opposite Day experience. Have these delicious Spanish dried chorizo sausages I love to snack on. One day I noticed it was covered in a paper film and I looked it up and they’re supposed to be peeled away and that paper film is just for packaging protection

  25. mallik803

    They sell it without the casings as just ground meat if you want it like that

  26. Roostroyer

    In some countries hotdogs sausages do come in plastic casings you need to remove before cooking them.

  27. BenFranklinsCat

    Okay, so this is funny… but my local corner shop sells polish sausages that come individually plastic-wrapped, which we discovered when we tried to BBQ them, and the “skin” melted, burned and then hardened.

  28. DevelopmentGreen3961

    What? You guys eat yours with the condoms on?

    smh

  29. Ju3tAc00ldugg

    i mean it’s not necessarily wrong to do so

  30. braddeicide

    I take them off if making a stew, otherwise it comes off itself and floats about.

  31. Pleasant-Ant2303

    Does OP think everyone has been eating plastic on their sausages? Wouldn’t it smell like
    Plastic burning when cooked?

  32. TastyCodex93

    Nah I love ingesting plastic on my sausages. In and out of the bedroom

  33. souvlakimchi

    Times are tough.. OP found a way to get sausages and 17th century condoms without breaking the bank

  34. EruzaMoth

    Depends what you’re making. Some recipes call for the casing to be removed, but most people just buy it without the casing then.
