I'll be increasing my sausage rates.

Sounds offal.

Why do they have to come from Iran? We (mostly) throw away those bits in the civilised world.

This is serious

For centuries, the citizens of Nuremberg have celebrated their petite bratwurst, which are often served up by the half dozen on heart-shaped plates. But one local producer says his costs have nearly tripled in the past 18 months, due to the rising costs of one key ingredient: sheep's intestines from Iran.
