Sausages

Nothing but homemade sausages for me... I make my own and I refuse to buy that **** sold in stores...
 
I guess the American Indian equivalent would be moki-maani. It's dried meat ground up and mixed with fat and dried fruit. It's like an Indian power bar.
My Italian wife introduced me to hot Italian sausage.

Your moki-maani sounds like what was called pemmican by whites?

What language is moki-maani? I forgot your tribe.

I used to order a bratwurst and some other German sausage (knackwurst?) with sauerkraut and German potato salad at Hans Mueller's booth at the Texas State Fair, by the Esplanade reflecting pool with all the national flags. They sold good German and Danish beer, too.

Kuby's restaurant and store in Snider Plaza in Dallas (maybe technically in University Park?) has a lot of good sausage meals. Did not, alas, have the Germanic roast beef and red cabbage dinner I was hoping for. I was there once with member Bob Bettis, who picked up the tab. :) Been in a few other times. It's good food of that sort, and they sell Lindt & Sprungli chocolate, inc. the orange-filled type that's hard to locate in Dallas. I believe they also process deer carcasses and probably make their own sausages.

And there's a splendid gun store in that shopping center, Jackson Armory. Not to be confused with the old Jackson Arms, which was nearby, near the beautiful SMU campus.

When I was younger, I sometimes made a meal of German sausage, cheese, bread, and beer.

I'm not German by descent (British) but Texas has a large Germanic population and some Czechs. They sell a lot of wurst, and of course, some shops pun that their wurst is the best. I know that Fredericksburg is a population center for those settlers. I'd like to go there sometime.

I used to sometimes eat the round breakfast sausages, but not so much now. Read that they aren't good for you. I think they still come with IHOP's Rooty, Tooty, Fresh and Fruity breakfast, one of America's best meal values.

Oh: this is a good place to give Grey Poupon country Dijon mustard a free plug. I like it on sausage and even use it on salmon.

Where's the head on that top one? Is it very venomous, compared to rattlesnakes? How far can it strike? :D
 
Many years ago I sat down at a kitchen table in Bavaria. A steaming pot of weisswurst was deposited in the middle, sweet Bavarian mustard was passed around and dark bread with butter was urged on me. Weisswurst are not smoked or preserved, they should be eaten before the noon church bells ring. I've eaten many sausages since then but the weisswurst at Uli's table still stands out.

I believe Snubbyfan is of the Blackfoot Tribe. And I want to say thanks a lot for mentioning German potato salad. I haven't had the real thing in so long...now I'm craving it pretty bad!
 
Sausage shouldn't be......

I like most sausages but kielbasa is my favorite. It goes down extremely well with cream cheese and raw onions.

If you are ever tempted to try turkey kielbasa, DON'T !!! One of the few things I literally couldn't stomach. I chewed about twice and then had to spit. :eek: Terrible, terrible stuff!

Sausage shouldn't be 'Light' or 'Lo cal'. If they aren't terrible for you (according to the USDA at least), they aren't any good.

It might well be the same word. Native words were often misheard or poorly transliterated by the first whites that encountered them. The consonants in many languages do not correspond very closely with ours, so, for example, what sounds like a "k" to one observer may more closely resemble an "m" to another; indeed, in some languages, the two may be phonemically indistinct.

Thus, Kitchi-Gammi, or Lake Superior, and Michigan, another very big lake, are essentially the same word. Similarly, Dakota and Lakota are two different transliterations for a word that describes one group of people. The word may have different pronunciations as well, depending on where you are and who you are talking to.
 
I find that most American store bought sausages, regardless of their origin are bleh. No spice, almost no flavor just a lot of fat and filler.

Some of you New Yorkers may remember Karl Ehmers german deli style meats. landjager and labercase, black rye bread and the list goes on. Johnsonville grillers,and mild Italian sausage always keep some in the freezer. Frank

I go to Long Island regularly, and always bring back some Ehmer German bologna and liverwurst. Grocery stores up there stock it...good stuff!
