That's the one.
Very entertaining in these times.

Just to add to the meaty list, black pudding is brilliant. It makes into a paste very easily, just remove the larger white bits and mould into a paste. It gives off a fantastic scent trail in rivers and a scent cloud in stillwater.

On quiet days fishing my Mum loved to dip into the family lunch boxes to try new baits - everything from chicken skin to grapes! Her two favourites over the years, regular fish catchers, were Edam Cheese and Cumberland Sausage. She always called Edam, “Cheesepaste without the effort.”

I used to freeline hot dogs on the Wandle to catch chub
You had to hold the rod as takes were savage but I found it only worked after dark???
We used slugs in daylight hours

I tried the Cocktail sausages on the Swale one day, but as has been said they floated, so I tried one of those aptly named Chubb sausages of polony and that worked a treat Chub seem to love it, I also made a paste out of black pudding, sadly that never worked, although I did catch an eel, I love experimenting or going backwards with baits, there was an old chap, when I was a lad, who used to hammer the tench at my local brick pond with processed peas.
