Sausages

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.
Too true, with my condition a little extra weight makes a big difference in my ability to walk. I've been dieting and exercising and when I want sausage or hotdogs or burgers or anything like that I want high octane leaded, not some namby pamby diet stuff.
 
I don't like anything with coagulated blood or offal in it...Otherwise, I like em all...Unfortunately, in regard to my waistline and lipid levels, I don't eat them very often...There is a small meat market in the area and the owner makes his own spicy pork sausages and smokes them with hickory and oak. Man, do I love those. He makes his own cracklins and pork rinds...More good items for my diet.
 
Chorizo and Eggs Recipe | Simply Recipes

Growing up, we had some of the standard American foods for breakfast – cream o' wheat, oatmeal, waffles, fried eggs, pancakes (no sugar coated cereals in this household!) – and a couple things I never saw in any of my friends' homes – huevos, and my favorite chorizo with eggs. My mother is hispanic by ancestry and looks, and even though she doesn't speak a drop of Spanish she still cooks what she was taught by her mother, grandmother and relatives, growing up in Tucson, Arizona. Thus we alone on our block had chorizo, or Mexican sausage scrambled up with eggs. I didn't even know that chorizo was the name of the sausage and not the dish until I was in my twenties. What is chorizo? A spicy pork sausage. While the Spanish version is usually spiced with paprika and garlic, Mexican chorizo is spiced with chile peppers. I've seen chorizo served in Mexican restaurants most often as a side sausage, like bacon. We cook ours up with the eggs and add some raisins as well, the sweetness of which provides some balance to the spicy chile in the chorizo.
