There is, obviously, a difference between a slim jim and fresh sausage from a butcher (Preferably one who uses only pastured, grass-fed meat and doesn't use any fillers. A good butcher will be quite up front with you about what they put in there.) In fact, fresh sausage contains many parts of the animal that you might otherwise ignore in a very palatable presentation. These are things that our paleo ancestors almost certainly consumed even if they didn't present it in exactly the same way.
