I agree with Margali. They're heavily processed, and I can't imagine any
reason for squeamishness unless you costantly harp, mentally, upon their
organic source. Which, if you eat sausages anyway, or for that matter
almost any other animal product, is silly. Sausage casings are usually
sold semi-dried, packed in salt, free of any fat, blood, muscle tissue,
major offensive smells, anything like that.   

Alternately, you can pretend to be a special-makeup-effects person for a
major motion picture studio and that you are filling condoms with red
gooey stuff.
