Based on the [Breakfast Sausage – Pre-Poll Discussion](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=558547) which came as a follow-up to [Favorite Breakfast Meat – First Pass](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=558525) and [Breakfast Meats – Pre-Poll Exploration](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=558327) here are the items from the “Sausage” category along with the ones from “Lunch Meat,” “Mystery Meat,” and Pudding categories in the latest poll. If you just must vote “Other” please post what the “other” thing(s) may be. I tried my best to get the choices as complete as possible before now, but it’s time to do some voting to narrow this field down! Multiple choice! That includes “Other” if you need it. ---

Most of those are not breakfast sausages, so I just picked the ones I like. What is Taylor Ham sausage? I think there were a couple of others I wasn’t familiar with or have never tried - for example, fried salami sounds good, but I’ve never had it. Also, some chorizos I like, some not as much. They’re pretty diverse. Nuremberg sausages are the best ones you left off of the list. They look sort of like American link sausages (or vice versa, I’m pretty certain the Nuremberg ones came first) but taste different and are normally bought as three on a hard roll with some mustard. ---

They look sort of like American link sausages (or vice versa, I’m pretty certain the Nuremberg ones came first) but taste different and are normally bought as three on a hard roll with some mustard. From [List of German dishes From Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_German_dishes) > [@](#): > > Franconia > > Bratwurst: Beef, pork or veal sausages, served fried or grilled with sauerkraut or potato salad and mustard, or simply in a bread roll (Bratwurstsemmel). They vary greatly in size and seasoning from region to region but are often considerably thinner than the equivalents elsewhere in Germany. The best-known sausages are from Nuremberg (Nürnberg) and are recognisable by their small size and clearly visible herb seasoning. They are traditionally served as three sausages in a roll (“Drei in 'a Weckla”) or six sausages on sauerkraut (“Sechs auf Kraut”). Good to know about Nuremberg sausages. Thanks. ---

Eh, I just buy Bob Evans, or Jones Sausage heat n’ eat links. I always serve the family breakfast with eggs, etc. but I hide two links for myself in the refrigerator. For ‘later’, as I’m a grazer, not a 3 squares a day type. ---

Link sausage. I love Kielbasa, but rarely choose it for breakfast. ---

> [@pulykamell](#): > > What’s the difference between Polish sausage and kielbasa? At least [Kielbasa From Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kielbasa) thinks they’re the same thing. I asked in the discussion thread and didn’t get an answer. Maybe I should have checked Wikipedia earlier. Now we know. ---

I voted for link sausage, even though two of my favorite breakfasts involve other types of sausage. Link is the default. ---

My 2 votes are in. The East Coaster in me says Pork Roll (Taylor Ham) all the way. On a kaiser roll or bagel with egg and cheese, please. The West Coaster voted for Chorizo. With eggs and other goodies in a breakfast burrito. Yum. ---

The best breakfast sausage is those little patties that Cracker Barrel restaurants serves with their breakfasts. They also sell it by the pound, it comes in cloth bags. It is freaking incredible, a wonderful smoky taste. ---

I voted patty sausage but I need to specify that now I eat almost exclusive those [Morningstar vegetarian patty sausages](http://www.morningstarfarms.com/product_detail.aspx?id=355). ---

It would have been wrong to pick all of them, so I just checked the four I like best: Bangers, chorizo, link sausage, and patty sausage. > [@ShibbOleth](#): > > Nuremberg sausages are the best ones you left off of the list. They look sort of like American link sausages (or vice versa, I’m pretty certain the Nuremberg ones came first) but taste different and are normally bought as three on a hard roll with some mustard. I’ve mentioned [Uli’s Famous Sausage](http://www.ulisfamoussausage.com/) before. That’s where I got my Nürnberger Wurst. Onna hard roll with mustard sounds great. For breakfast, I’ll go with the American-style links or bangers. ---
