I wonder who care so little that he/she made this literal translation.
Chinese translation for Sausage is 香肠. Literally these 2 chars means 'fragrant intestine' (which is what sausage can be made of).
香 - Fragrant This character is usually used as an adjective. The same char is also used to represent joss stick/incense cos (I assume) when burnt, they emit a distinct fragrance.
烤 - Roast
早餐 - Breakfast
The 3 chinese chars placed in between 香 and 肠 are quite redundant. Whoever did this probably wants to make the sausages sound more delicious. It's like how some restaurant menus have description of how their food is seasoned.
