G'day mate,
Yeah. But "sausage" [snag] is the generic term. Cheerios are just a
type of (pre-cooked) snag. I'm gradually learning more about them
myself as a result of this thread. 8-) Stumbled over a rather blank
web page belonging to Hans, a local smallgoods manufacturer
<http://www.hans.com.au/products_nav.asp>
and used their Search facility to look for "cheerios". Found this at
<http://www.hans.com.au/products_view.asp?i=18457&s=1>
<quoting>

Finely minced Australian pork and beef, lightly seasoned and naturally
wood smoked for a quality flavour and taste. Filled into distinctive
red casing.

For something a little different, wrap in bacon and grill.
Did you know? Cheerios is the English word for the Spanish little red
sausage "Chorizos".

So there you go! More than even I needed to know. :-)

That's not more than I needed to know at all. That's perfect. Thanks.
