Oh, I am an idiot!! Of course. At McDonald's/Burger King (nowhere else!) you can get Sausage and Egg McMuffins which are a toasted English muffin with a slice of plastic cheese, a fried egg and a patty made of highly spiced something-or-other that they call sausage. It doesn't bear resemblance to anything sold as sausage in this country.

You either get links of varying flavour and content (just called sausages) or you can buy bulk sausage meat. I suspect this is nothing like you get over there either. It's an extremely fine-ground meat and filler mixture, almost exactly the same as that inside the sausages themselves. Do you get "Olde English Pork Suasages"? Sorta like that. Exudes vast quantities of fat when cooked - we usually use it as an ingredient in stuffing poultry or for sausage rolls (with butter puff or shortcrust pastry).
