Ah! They are the ubiquitous so-called "advanced meat recovery" sausages which I call "train sausages", because they were pretty much all you could get to eat on trains when I first hit China twenty years ago. They are still, as you say, available everywhere from supermarkets to my local mom 'n pop store . Utterly horrible. There are a few companies here in China which have perfected the art of turning pigs into almost totally tasteless, textureless, sludge wrapped in plastic. Any strange taste you may have detected was probably the plastic.
The only time I enjoyed them was in my spiritual home, West Hunan, where they are deep fried and drowned in delicious, wonderful, orgasm-inducing chili sauce. Throw away the sausage and die happy!
Yes, in the first picture, centre-left are disrobed versions of the same thing. Bad sausage porn.
