Sausages
 
Can someone explain American sausages to me please?

I go to a ball game and they have Polish, Italian, German, Weiners etc etc....

What's the difference?

LOL...just what I was thinking before I read your reply.
OP...we get some "british bangers" from Central Market. Not sure if you have one near you. Made a yummy toad in the hole with them last night:thumbsup:

Most German, Italian and Polish sausages are pork or veal and the different tastes depend on the ratio of meat to fat, how fine it is ground before stuffing and of course, the blend of spices used.

I enjoy Bangers and Mash and am super lucky to have the real thing made right in my Irish neighborhood as Patrick can testify. But I also love all German and Polish sausage as that is my heritage passed through my grandparents and parent. Fortunately we have both a German butcher only a few miles from the house (Karl Ehmer's) and a local Polish butcher. Being a New Yorker, my two favorite weiners, hot dogs, would be Nathan's and Hebrew National with casting.

Just what some people think of bangers:) I personally like the taste of all kinds of "sausage" but try not to eat too much of any kind of sausage (unless homemade) having worked on the science end of the meat industry. What individual types are called are dependent upon their ingredients. TJs has nice bangers but usually only sell them Feb-April (or somewhere around that time).

Aye, breakfast sausages, they've got the ikle ones as well as the large ones but they tend to go quickly.

If anyone lives in Maine, the Co-Op in Belfast do superb sausages and the guy there will make whatever you fancy if they don't have them.
