We’re in October and that means Oktoberfest (finished now but they’re already planning next year’s!)

If you’ve never heard of Good Mythical Morning (I hadn’t until recently), it is a YouTube channel mainly dedicated to tasting things “so that you don’t have to”. The list of things they have tried include birds, burgers, sweets (or candy as the Americans call confectionery) and pizza, as well as more exotic and unusual things like insects and today’s challenge, sausages –  but not ordinary sausages!

They put a blindfold on to taste sausages and have to guess the type of animal it is (mammal, bird, amphibian or reptile); for an extra point they have to guess the species.

Below is a vocabulary list to listen out for. Some of the words (as well as some in the above introduction) are linked to a lexicon containing definitions, the first part of which is shown when you hover over the word, so you can check the meaning while reading this post and click through later, if necessary, for a fuller description. (I say some, because I’ve found out the plugin I started using has a limited number of entries with the free version…I will sort this issue out as soon as possible.)
