Health warning

As I put the remaining frankfurters into the refrigerator, I am reminded of the fact that earlier this evening, I ate plastic. I didn't just chew for a while and spit out in disgust. I thought it was food, and I swallowed.

So I bit into the sausage. "This is very chewy," I thought. "Am I supposed to cook this first?"

Only when I got to the last mouthful I noticed a filmy texture in my mouth. Lo and behold, what did I pull out but a chewed up morsel of cling-film-esque sausage sheath.

Now when these sausages are coming in a vacuum packed package in the first place, why is it then necessary to wrap each one individually? And in what? Clear plastic? They really ought to write that on the wrapper.
