Consolidated "Sausage" thread
 

My assignment is to furnish sausage to a native of Poland that is a fanatic about quality. I'm guessing a place in Chicago can fill the order. Any suggestions? Anywhere close to MIA would help.

I love the ones at Costco...

They claim to have "over 100 different sausage and deli meat specialities." I like their Maxwell Street variation the best, but it's probably less authentic than some of their others.

4 hours drive from MIA - Sarasota.

We have a very nice Polish Deli - Pierogi Inn in the Gulf Gate area.

Most of their stuff comes from Chicago. It is a hit or miss as far as the sausages go.

I had some fantastic old world tasting stuff, so fresh it was warm (a little exaggeration :D )

but on occasion I had some run of the mill stuff from there.

I believe they had about 3-4 owner changes in the last 3-4 years and each new owner picks new suppliers. I have not been there in couple of months, but your post got me thinking..... :)

did you mean MDW = Midway as MIA = Miami ?

Seeing as Chicago has the largest Polish population outside Warsaw one would hope we have some good Polish Sausage :)

I used to sell to these guys below, my wife's family is from Poland and they used to love the homemade Polish sausage I would bring back from these guys.

Aw man, Martin Rosol's shut down their online store. They have the best hot dogs ever, and their polska kielbasa ain't half bad either.

Even though I have Polish roots, I couldn't tell you what's authentic Polish sausage or not.

That said, I really enjoy Bobak's -- really feels like I'm in a European grocery store, even though I'm in Chicago suburbia. ;)

chicopee ma, chicopee falls ma.

Thanks for the responses!

Yes, the Sinai Polish from Costco are great. However, we're talking about the next level for this project.

MIA is departure point. Will be in Chicago prior to MIA because that is where I would expect to find the goods.

Nurnberger Sausage
 

Are Nurnberger sausages much different from ordinary American breakfast links? They look almost identical, but as I understand it the Germans don't eat them for breakfast.

I don't know Nürnberger Sausages, but you are right: Sausages are not a common breakfast in Germany -- apart from Bavaria, where the Weisswurst (bavarian veal sausage) has to be eaten before noon. Accompanied by a cold wheat beer, ideally.

Favorites kind of the Italian Sausage?
 

Hi All,

What kinds of your favorites Italian sausage and which the flavor is that? I likes to eat parmesan cheese sausage, chicken sausage and etc. Which one is that? How about you can have a special best new flavor for sausage? I remember where I ate chedder sausage and it was so good. I have to do put on the grill.

Lets the speculations begins.

Regards

I enjoy Mortadella and Sopressata.

Good. I'm glad you like it. :)
