I think sausages have lost their value compared to other food items.
Farming with its constant quality increase makes the sausages nearly useless when comparing stats/hunger.
Cheese is off the charts, with its stats but for good reason, the time it takes to make, so it is good.
Sausages are only good in early world, so i think they need a little remake or something to add to their value.
I would suggest new food types that use sausages and get unique stat/hunger depending on what sausage was used.
Having a stick in your hand gives you the option to roast it over a fire and a fun little animation where the heartling is doing it.
The fire roasted sausage gets the Sizzling buff added to it or something.
Sausage buns should be added, can be combined with any sausage, Sizzling or not.
