Did you know, that...

... the use of animal intestines for making sausages had its origins as early as the Neolithic era, nearly 15 thousand years ago, probably in the vicinity of Babylon? The first written document, however, comes from the 228 AD from a Greek cookbook written by Athenaeus Fri "Banquet of sophists".
