So I was watching Matilda on TV and I had a can of Vienna Sausage I had in my pantry from last year. Why the heck is it called Vienna Sausage? It tastes good though, especially the broth.

Vienna sausage is a term used for a canned sausage. The term means essentially the same thing as Wiener, as the latter means Viennese, and is short for Viennese sausage. For information on the conventional Frankfurter/Wiener, please see Hot dog.
Canned Vienna sausages are generally made using a simplified adaptation of the process used to mass-produce other sausages. Meats, such as chicken, beef, and pork, are ground finely and mixed with salt and spices, especially mustard, and formed into a batter, which is poured into a long casing and smoked. The sausages are cooked, chopped into equal size segments, and placed into tins or jars, usually without the casings, and, with broth or brine added, processed the same as other canned goods. They also figure into the diet of many in the US.
In Latin America, Vienna sausages are called "salchichas."
