"plant-based ingredients are used instead of meat have become much more widely available and consumed." This needs a source otherwise it should be removed. Plant based food generally and almost exclusively sells very little in the few places its available. This just seems like a vegan making a false narrative on a wikipedia page 109.247.39.1 (talk) 13:48, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Citations are not required in the lead when they summarise main article text which has citations (there is a section on vegetarian sausages at the end of the article.) Sbishop (talk) 16:40, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

'The modern type of lup cheong has a comparatively long shelf life, mainly because of a high content of lactobacilli—so high that it is considered sour by many'

Regarding this - do forgive me if I'm skimming over the cited source, but the source does not seem to mention anything about the sourness of the Chinese sausage (and 'by many' looks to me to be weasel wording')

Additionally 'lup cheong' is a more uncommon romanization of 臘腸 which is romanized as 'lap cheong' elsewhere in the article - 'lap cheong' is also more common as a romanization

Lap cheong (also lap chong, lap chung, lop chong) are dried pork sausages that look and feel like pepperoni but are much sweeter. In southwestern China, sausages are flavored with salt, red pepper and wild pepper. People often cure sausages by smoking and air drying.

No citation for sausage curing, and inconsistency in whether or not source language is mentioned EastBlowingGale (talk) 10:56, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Word "kapituła" in regional section about Poland does not make sense (and is even linked to a Wikipedia article about a place called "Kapituła" :-) I would suggest to remove it. 195.184.83.16 (talk) 09:35, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I want to suggest the Czech and Slovak "špekáček," which is a sausage variant characterized by the method of preparation. Špekáčeks are commonly roasted on a stick handheld above a campfire. Špekáčeks are very popular among scouts and campers. Prdus (talk) 15:41, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
