A vegan sausage can very much be its own thing, both tofu and seitan have their own distinct flavour profile. While there certainly are fake meat sausages, you cannot just assume it is one because of its shape, the same way a meat sausage isn’t just a fake cucumber.
German numbers are weird because we kinda switch the last two digits.
43 in most languages becomes ‘40 - 3’, but in german you say ‘3 & 40’.
But we do not pronounce the whole number backwards.
143 in most languages becomes ‘100 - 40 - 3’, in german you say ‘100 - 3 & 40’.
