I'm posting images of sausage counters the world over each weeknight (and occasionally weekend) witching hour until I run out. Please use the comments section to post links to your Flickr or personal site faves, and perhaps you'll see 'em posted here late some evening.

Good Lord, this picture almost made me vomit. Request for new midnight theme that does not include hanging pig carcasses. Like Midnight Apple. Midnight Lasagna. Midnight Rice Krispies Treat.

Homer: Wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute. Lisa honey, are you
saying you're *never* going to eat any animal again? What about
bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad! Those all come from the same animal!
Homer: [Chuckles] Yeah, right Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.

Are you almost out of these photos yet? I'm about ready to give up on Slashfood if you don't move on soon :)

I'm with Emily, no matter how much I enjoy eating sausage, these pics are getting old fast and unpleasant faster... pig corpses: as delicious to taste as they are disturbing to view.

Wimps!
I see a pork carcass, and I just start thinking of the possibilities!
Whole roast pig.
Ribs ribs and more ribs.
Smoked shoulder.
BACON!
Honey glazed hams.
BACON!
I think that unless you can stand to watch an animal prepared, you should be denied their meaty goodness.

@Alex Falk: I was waiting for someone to accuse everyone of being narrow-minded hypocrits who can't bear the thought of how their food is prepared. What the photo shows (hanging pig carcasses) doesn't bother me so much as the fact that I don't like clicking on my slashfood.com link and getting ambushed by bloody, visceral images that I'm just not expecting. I think you're unusual to see partial butchered animals as potential meals. Save it for slashbutcher.com

@emily
I see no blood.
And as for being unusual for seeing an animal as a potential meal(not just partially butchered thank you very much) talk to any chef.

It's not sausage but the Danshui morning market offers some great fresh meats:

@Alex Falk: I'm sorry, but the blood is highly visible. And as someone who does NOT eat meat, I hope I won't be accused of hypocrisy for being turned off by corpses. Oh, and I don't really care if I am, as we all have our limits. I agree with others who don't understand the point of midnight sausage counter pictures.

Maggie- That isn't blood. There isn't a single drop of blood on those clean little porkers. Those red marks are stamps, just like the FDA has stamps on meat in the US. Also there is no viscera in that photo either.
While the photo may not be to everyone's taste, to us meat eaters and pork lovers those suckers are roasts, bbq, sausage, salami, bacon, chops, ribs, trotters, snouts, shins, cracklins, liver, heart, kidneys, and many other soon to be, tasty treats from that wonderful, magical animal. The Pig. In other words, FOOD. And this IS Slashfood. Not Slashveggies. Not Slashcookies. Not Slashprettypicsofpreparedandsanitizedremovedfromitssourcepackedinstyrofoamandwithoutanysemblanceofitsformerrealityfood.
