[00:00.40] Sausage can be made from any kind of meat, along with spices, herbs, sometimes vegetables, and even fruit.

[00:12.35] My favorite sausage is made from chicken, apple, and the herb sage.

[00:20.85] To make sausage, the ingredients are mixed together and then shaped into individual servings.

[00:29.88] High-quality sausage uses high-quality ingredients and costlier cuts of meat.

[00:39.71] Some sausages are made from parts of the animal that many people may not normally eat.

[00:50.60] But everything gets mixed up so much that you do not really know what is in the final product.

[00:59.37] For this reason, seeing the sausage-making process might be a bit unpleasant for some people.

[01:07.34] In other words, some people who like to eat sausage may not want to know how it is made.

[01:16.63] If they see all the separate ingredients, they may never eat sausage again.

[01:24.34] And that is where we get the expression to see how the sausage is made.

[01:31.78] If you want to see how the sausage is made, you want to see a complex or messy process.

[01:40.81] You want to know the secrets, even if they are not very pleasing.

[01:47.71] We use this expression for any situation or process that happens away from the view of others.

[01:57.80] And most people would find that situation or process unpleasant.

[02:05.24] For example, many people like to buy clothing that does not cost much money.

[02:12.68] But they may not want to know how the clothes are made so cheaply.

[02:19.32] They would rather not want to know how the sausage gets made.

[02:25.42] There are other similar expressions.

[02:29.41] You can also say we want to shine a light on something.

[02:34.99] This expression means you want to reveal or expose something unpleasant or possibly even illegal.

[02:45.62] Another similar expression is to pull back the curtain on something.

[02:52.52] This one really explains the behind-the-scenes nature of all these expressions.

[03:00.76] A curtain is a piece of cloth or fabric that covers a window.

[03:07.40] It can hide what is happening inside a room.

[03:12.98] So, if you pull back the curtain on a process or way of doing something, you reveal how something is created or how it operates in private.

[03:27.32] And if you pull back the curtain on a person, you reveal how they act when they are away from public view.

[03:38.21] You reveal their true personality or you expose their true intent.
