[LOTR] How are they always getting sausages to eat?

Throughout the films you see the hobbits cooking sausages at least 3 times.  Where are they getting the sausages from?  Don't they spoil?

Smoked and dried sausages last a very long time, being fairly effectively sealed away from bacteria and preserved. They make decent travel rations, not as long-lasting as hardtack or lembas, but still quite good.
