I expect this thread to become an epic.
Anyway, back to the topic. Mine was in Hamburg before the final. It was a small place on a small "Strasse" just off the main drag and I had a curry wurst called Quick Killer. Nice and juicy and very spicy. Next to a pint of a local bock it was simply just the business.
In the US, my fav so far was a kielbasa in Milwaukee. Between that and the local cheese very little can go wrong there. Plus the women all seem to be 6ft tall and blonde.
I am particularly partial to Tesco Finest pork, apple and apricot sausage at the moment.
I also had something during the final in Hamburg which was cold and not all that.
When I go to our office in Munich they have these white sausages which are pretty scrum. For the life of me I can't remember their name.
Pork and Apple. Also from that sausage magnate, Tesco.
The cumberland sausages in onion gravy on the Rosslare to Fisguard ferry are the best I have ever had.

If it's made from veal and steamed rather than fried/grilled it'd be Weisswurst.

I bought a bratwurst from some moody Albanian stall by Green Park station about 13 years ago. I have never had a better sausage in my life.

Actually, changed my mind. I dont know what it was called, but it was cooked in a MASSIVE frying pan at Reading Festival.
The sausages my grandmother used to cook up for breakfast on her old iron skillet when I would stay with her in the summers a long time ago. Sometimes I can transport myself back to that time and place--lying in bed and smelling them cooking downstairs. The anticipation of that breakfast was half the joy. Simply wonderful.
The Bratwurst at the Stadium in Hamburg was the best i've ever had :004: . But the best around in England are Sainsbury's Butchers choice, nothing flash or expensive just a bloody good sausage.
Quorn sausages.
Twice as tasty, and fifteen times as healthy.
No pigs mickies, chicken feet, cow ears, lamb gizzards or calf scrotums.

Sausage wouldn't be sausage without these lovely contents :dft011:
I have to admit to liking vegetarian sausages. Always fought against it. But while not pledging allegiance to them exclusively, have to admit there is room in my stomach for them.
And the part missing from this debate is red or brown sauce to go with the sausages :dft011:
Brown for me please....

Good shout Mr Burt. :clap_hands: A terribly diffficult decision, but I have to agree and go the brown sauce route. However you do need to have a healty dozage on the side of English mustard to give it a bit of a bite and make your hair in your behind stand to attention as well.

Completely agree Mr Finn sir.
I am starting to salivate now. And that's not happened since I watched Barabarella last night.
Sorry lads but we could lose this thread now you've mentioned sauces brown on bacon , red on sausages with fried onions .
Tescos finest my fav atm...
I don't think that any sauce should be on a good 'proper' sausage. Maybe a basic butchers simple one, but anything special would be ruined by it. That said, gravy is acceptable.

Perfect mate, nice and crispy on the outside, still a little bit fatty inside, not to dry. Fair play to Kaz as she cooked it not me. I'm stuffed, could have fed six on that meat easily, but it went thre ways, and i had about half :028:
The kielbasa in Madison, WI could not be beat, so I will have to agree with Mr. Finn on that, but in terms of the kind of sausage I go back to time and time again it is a hot Italian heavy on the pepper and herbs (pronounced with a silent 'h' :dft012: ). A shop I used to go to, can't remember the name now, in North End in Boston had the best I have ever had.
Mustard on Bratwurst, ketchup on pork sausages, brown on beef, and fried eggs with chorizo. Now I want to eat.
A local Brazilian Steakhouse makes there own fresh "Beef" sausages onsite.
Grilled on skewers, over on open wood flame.
They will keep bringing them, as long as I keep up the green flag... :dft011:

Mustard on all be it dijon, spicy brown or yellow. Brown accompanying the mustard on occasion.
Local butcher in Rothesay, Isle of Bute, Scotland. makes his own beef sausages. Fantastic, casseroled with onions.

Ah yes. Anyone whose different from you is a 'freak'. Your logic is irrefutable. You'll fit in well and achieve great things in life.
Paula Deen's sausage is fantastic! She is famous here in the States and you can order it and it will be delivered to your house.
I use to get great ones from a guy who had a cart that could usually be found around the Marienplatz in Munich. They also have the Wiener Platz in the Haidhausen district of Munich which you could get all kinds of foods, not just sausages.
Musk's or sometimes called Newmarket sausages. Fantastic.

There should be no goo coming out of a Weisswurst - it sounds like you got bad ones. There are very stringent rules applying to their manufacture and they have to be made fresh everyday for early consumption. Traditionally you eat your Weisswurst by 11 AM - with a beer. Quite a nice tradition really.
Don't stick a fork into it, it has done nothing to deserve it. Use your fingers. Take the appropriate tool, e.g. Swiss army knife, and inserting that in the little hole at one end slit it down the length of the Weisswurst. Then peel back the skin from the end, dip it in sweet mustard and insert it into the appropriate orifice. If you're having trouble with this, perhaps some nice young lady will help you, as they seem to have a knack with peeling back the skin from the end of it. :003:
By the way, technically the outer skin is edible, but it's better discarded - you'll see the locals doing this. Mahlzeit!
The things you learn on this forum!
I just remembered when I used to live in Twickenham there was this shop in Richmond down one of the side streets that made home made sausages and they were the dogs wotsits.
Darned if I can remember the name of the place now...
The knowledge available on this board never seems to stop amuse me. Top post Mr Cebu :clap_hands:
my wife and i went to Thailand for the first time a few years back, and what was the first meal i had there,
sausage mash and onions. :yay:I have of course after several visits to Thailand now absolutely adore Thai food.
