The small intestine of the sheep is called the Saitling. The natural casing is considered to be particularly tender and is particularly suitable for fine boiled sausages, but also for smoked sausages. For example, Frankfurter and Viennese sausages as well as Nuremberg bratwurst are usually made with Saitling. The fine, thin natural casing can be eaten without hesitation.
In addition, strings are also used to make stringed instruments. Today, the strings can also be made of metal, silk, or plastic, but traditionally sheep intestines are common.
