Looks like Dee's brother has been reading J.R.R. Tolkien, The Monsters and the Critics « Valedictory Address » (p. 227):

Quote by Tolkien
It is not just a question of the degeneration of real curiosity and enthusiasm into a ‘planned economy’, under which so much research time is stuffed into more or less standard skins and turned out in sausages of a size and shape approved by our own little printed cookery book.

Politics has been likened to sausage making for a long, long time, and academic publishing has been likened to salami slicing for almost as long. Much longer than Tolkien.

I have heard it being attributed to Bismarck, but short trip to Google and wikiquotes yields http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/John_Godfrey_Saxe version of 1869 - "Laws, like sausages, cease to inspire respect in proportion as we know how they are made."
