Comment on What did you pay for your democracy sausage?

  No I thought the like the sausage is cheap for the person giving it out since it’s bought in bulk, subsidised and of basic quality.

    Definitely not subsidised in any way. This is roughly equivalent to a US “bake sale” where the school P&C or a sporting organisation sells them as a fundraiser. The govt has zero involvement. It’s purely citizen driven.

    Yes they’re usually fairly cheap/low quality snags though

      I get that you buy them; I’m just explaining why i thought they were free
