I go through my day noticing and thinking such thoughts. I find people who think similar thoughts are similar to me. I’m currently reading (almost devouring) an amazing novel today. “Martyr!” by Kaveh Akbar. Kindred spirits will enjoy it, and so I pass it on to you!
Thank God for Verne Sanderson who is willing to stand up and be counted. All whistle blowers should be saluted for their bravery. It is only by speaking out about these lies and cover-ups that the deep state will ever be exposed. No, Verne, you are not alone!

I have the first half of the answer, which is that in food photography (and art in general) uses odd numbers as they’re more aesthetically pleasing (it is hard to fake randomness but even numbers of things look extra fake). But that doesn’t tell us what happened to the sixth sausage. #justice
In among all the never-ending silliness about what constitutes "being English", you could do worse than say it's very English to notice a missing sausage and then to write to the paper about it. And I love to see it!
They aren’t aware of the old superstition where you include an extra one that’s just a “recipe sausage”, which is notionally consumed by any ghost that might be around
Well spotted! I think we know what happened to the sausage.
I’ve often wondered if there was a term for what cooks sample whilst cooking, like shrinkage. I’m poaching meatballs in tomato sauce later today and I know by cooking them the meatballs will reduce in quantity by at least 10%.
I’ve got sausage and cannellini beans cooking right now. I cut the sausages in half so than means there are 12 or maybe 10😱 (also hello Sydenham from your Honor Oak neighbour).
There's a Richard Brautigan novel where a character's first response to anything is to give a number. Then you have to work out what he's been counting.
On one occasion he jut says "16" and his companion knows he's referring to clouds in the sky.
They don't write 'em like that any more

And Hattie has no comment
The Butler did it.
Combiens sont ces six saucissons ci?
Si ces six saucissons ci sont à six sous,
Ces six saucissons ci sont trop chères.
Mais, seulment cinq saucissons!
