Edit History

Here is a new one to me. In Shanghai there is a company named 肉管家 (ròu guǎn jiā) which means Housekeeper or Butler Meat, although they have chosen "Mr Meat" as their English name. The company caters mainly to foreigners, of which there are many in Shanghai, but they also ship elsewhere. They specialise in American cuts of meat of all types, but mostly beef. They also do their own beef sausages using beef from Australia. In addition, they do these sausages.

You may be thinking they are blood sausages, as I did first time I saw them, but no. These are Mr Meat's Cuttlefish Sausages - 肉管家墨鱼肠 (ròu guǎn jiā mò yú cháng). Inside they look like this.

The actual cuttlefish is mixed with pork and the cuttlefish ink and spicing and stuffed into natural pork casings.  720 grams (a touch over 1½ pounds) of sausages costs me ¥144.32 or $19.76, so expensive for here. But a nice change.
