@AndorianSoup@mastodon.social And whether the rolled up gunpowder in cloth was named for the ground meat in skin, or vice versa?
[edit] Ahh, from Latin "salsicus", cured with salt, via French, so they had sausages but named a military device after that.
An earlier dictionary included an English language variant:
Sawsidge, A Pudding made of Capons guts, Porke, and Spice, &c. [Cockeram, English Dictionarie, 1623]
