The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Sausage is a short animated film by Robert Grieves. It begins adorably with two street-food vendors — one selling hand-reared sausage, the other with freshly-baked artisan breads.
It isn’t until a new mustache-twirling food vendor moves in and starts stealing their customers, that the two have to get creative in order to survive. Then, with a little help from sausage sandwiches and innuendo, the plans of the bad guy are thwarted. Sausage sandwiches solve everything.
