Interesting. But I'm not sure how you were using the scallions? Maybe
I'm not quite sure what a scallion looks like. It looks like a large
green onion, right? Also I think of those sausages as being rather
smooth and shiney on the outside whereas cattails are fuzzy? Is this
not a problem in this case or am I missing something?
