Venison sausage is a mazing. I also like Chorizo on top of a baked potato with cheese and sour cream. ---

Traditional Italian with pepper, chili and fennel. Spanish chorizo and the one’s you only get in the West country in England - pork , apple and scrumpy. haven’t had one for 30 years. ---

I guess I’m not all that sophisticated. I love Jimmy Dean hot pork sausage more than any other kind in the world. ---

I love all manner of sausage, but my favorites are hot Italian, andouille and chorizo. I’ve only ever made Italian and breakfast sausage though. I may have to pull out the ole meat grinder this weekend. ---

[QUOTE=Little Nemo] My family jokes about the fact that every year when I fly down to Texas one of the first things I do is get a five pound box of boudin sausage (which is unavailable in New York) and then eat it for breakfast every morning. Pork is the traditional meat, but my favorite is shrimp boudin. [/QUOTE] My family waits for relatives to come and deliver Lebanon bologna from the old country (Eastern PA). OMG that stuff is good. And I think it counts as sausage. ---

Mennonite Farmer’s Sausage. Although we just refer to it as farmer’s sausage. I have never seen it for sale at any supermarket. You get it by ordering it from a farmer or butcher who knows how to make it. I also do not know of any other sausage that it similar to it. It is made from pork, spices and usually garlic and is smoked. It has a predominately pink color, so it is easy to beleive that it beef. It has a great texture and taste that has notes of bacon, sweetness and is not fatty. I have eaten it all my life and never got tired of it. It is great on a BBQ. ---

I spent a few years in Germany as a very young boy, and Braunschweiger today tastes like childhood. Love it. On a similar theme, a good Bratwurst always makes me smile. ---

Best thread ever. I can’t believe that mere mortals have anything to do with Italian Salumi. Any cured sausage or meat of that variety will last no longer than 45 minutes in my home. ---

I had a lamb and garlic sausage once that almost caused me to faint with delight… The only thing that saved me was the certain knowledge that while I was unconscious my SO would eat the rest of my sausage! ---

If I had to pick an absolute favorite I’d probably go with linguica. But I love so many. Top of the list: Hot Italian Chorizo Andouille Morcilla And it might be a stretch, but I’ll add Pork Roll to the list too. (With egg and cheese on an everything bagel, please.) ---

Hot Italian sausage for me. The sweet variety I sometimes see I’m not a fan of. I likes my spice! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-favorite-sausage/383142.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-favorite-sausage/383142.md?page=3)
