ausage for the Baron

aron Von Lodge was the head of a small country known as Lilliland near Switzerland. The time was the early 1900s.

It seemed that everyone in Lilliland liked the breakfast sausages except for one person. It was the Baron himself. The Lilliland sausages gave him indigestion every time he ate one.

His cousin, Duke Wilczenski of Poland, felt sorry for the Baron and when he visited Lilliland he always brought a supply of freshly made Polish sausages. The Baron could eat as many of the Polish sausages as he liked without getting indigestion.

The Baron felt that he should support the work of his own tradesmen in Lilliland but it was making him ill to eat the sausages.

The Baron asked Lady Angela of Alpine Castle if she like the Lilliland sausages and she said that she did. In fact, she said that every member of the Royal Lodge Family liked the sausages.

The Baron did not want the sausage makers to change their formula just for him. He did not know what to do. He did not want to offend the sausage makers, nor did he wish to stop eating the Lilliland product. Professor Hamblin, the Baron's chief advisor, was called in for a discussion of the problem.

The Professor suggested that an expert from a German sausage factory be consulted to see what was wrong with the Baron and with the sausages. Both an expert German sausage maker and a physician examined the problem and after a few days came up with a solution.

The Baron's digestive system was allergic to an over-abundance of fat in the Lilliland sausage. The Polish sausage that the Baron could eat, brought by his cousin from Poland, had less fat in the formula. The Lilliland sausage makers reduced the fat content of the sausages and now everyone could enjoy the healthier Lilliland sausages, including the Baron himself.
