Nothing could be more interesting than the folk story behind the making of "Dong Guan Sausage". The legend behind dong guan celebrates the spirit of ingenuity among food artisans. A short man was known to in Dong Guan as (矮仔 四) handcrafted and sold a very popular Chinese sausage for a living, however, due to his height, as he carried the sausages down the street, some of the longer sausages reached the ground, dragging through the mud and dirt. This would not do, he thought, and so he found ways to make the sausages shorter, fatter and taste differently to others to stand out. The smell and taste of his sausages became legendary, attracting many customers from afar.
The rest is history.
