I’d thought knackwust on first read, too. Short, wide and light in color. I’ve never had one that I really liked. They’re just like a dryer, fatter hot dog. The sharp bend made me think of ring bologna: [http://www.oldwisconsin.com/all-products/ring-bologna/original](http://www.oldwisconsin.com/all-products/ring-bologna/original) Probably too long, though. ---

They only time I remember having knotted casings was venison sausage from someone’s hunting got processed. But that wouldn’t be white, venison sausage is usually a vivid red. ---

Now that I’m in a sausage state of mind, does anyone have recommendations for the D. C. area? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-kind-of-sausage-was-this/693245.md?page=2)
