I was delighted to spot on Amazon a manual stuffer looking exactly like the one
in a video teaching how to make sichuan-style salame at home. The product
description went
【Meat grinder with sausage 】 It can be used to grind meat and sauces,
suitable for grinding pork, beef, lamb, chicken, various spices, peppers
and sausages, and with an enema machine, you can make homemade sausages
I once heard the story (from Joe Rogan, I think) about some early 20th-century
tycoon deeply concerned with intestinal health and frequently injecting coffee
into his rectum for enema.
I can imagine that for the product, some pocket Chinese-English dictionary could
easily serve up the short and sweet "enema" for the Chinese phrase for stuffing
sausages (灌腸), or maybe it's the other way around where an English-Chinese
dictionary gives the simple Chinese phrase as the definition of "enema."
It's hopeless.
