Salchichas or Vienna sausage is a variety of canned sausage. The term means essentially the same thing as Wiener, as the word "Wiener" means "Viennese" in German. Canned Vienna sausages are generally made using a simplified adaptation of the process used to mass-produce other sausages. Meats, such as chicken, beef, and pork, are finely ground and mixed with salt and spices, especially mustard, and formed into a paste, which is poured into a long casing and smoked. The sausages are cooked, the casings may be removed, then the sausages are chopped into equal size segments, and placed into tins or jars with broth or brine added for final processing the same as other canned goods.
