Reply to comment by goofwayne in At some point, someone thought to ground up the meat of a pig, shove it inside its own intestines, and cook it for people to eat. by greatpoomonkey

It also uses up more of the animal, specifically the intestines and some of the loose bits of meat. It's sort of like figuring out how to make stock out of bone and cartilage. The less of an animal you waste, the better.
