Sometimes concise, sometimes funny, sometimes bizarre, often pointed and also satirical, in individual cases daring and in any case extremely creative. International references have been scribbled, attention is drawn to health aspects, the sausage becomes a playful element of everyday life or a graphic representation of conceivable recipes is involved.
