Grilled sausage stand in Kenya

Grill sausages to a defined product and portion.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional grilled-beef-sausage stall: buy six exact 1 kg manufacturer packs, portion/serve sixty accepted 100 g-raw-weight-equivalent orders only if actual labelled piece sizes support the plan. Cooked weight will differ; do not advertise 100 g cooked from 100 g raw. Farmer's Choice Meaty Beef Sausages 1 kg is a named price enquiry, not a guaranteed ten-piece pack. No bun or raw relish included.
