We are told, version defended by the French linguist and lexicographer Alain Rey, that flange comes from the root bod- denoting the belly or navel (as belly ou canteen). And flange also referred to the sex of man in the XNUMXth century. Therefore, theblood sausage would ultimately only designate liquid excretions like urine, symbolizing something completely missed.
According to some XNUMXth century authors, the sausage water would also be this soiled water, good to throw in the sewers, used to clean the hoses which will be used to make the sausage.
But this explanation is rejected by Alain Rey and the French writer Claude Duneton (1935-2012), due to a total lack of evidence.
Blood sausage water would also be quite simply the cooking water of blood sausage, the last disposable waste after having extracted from the pig everything it had to eat, that is to say almost everything.
