You also like SOS. (so do I)
That got me thinking(always risky-or risque). Are there any places that serve SOS around here. Then came the hard part: remembering its real name(I did-finally). Yes. A place called Key West Diner. And the SOS gets great reviews. Gonna hafta go.
 
Does anybody like Vienna sausages? The canned ones, not the hotdog-like Vienna sausages at Aldi.

Sorry, I can't "like" your post. I truly dislike the taste of Vienna Sausage. I suppose that one could cover it with enough barbecue sauce such that the taste of the product disappears.

BTW, many years (many, many, many, many years) ago, I worked for a meat packing company. It was/is a super reputable company that makes very high quality products. One of the products we made was canned Vienna Sausage. Technically it is not a sausage. It is an emulsified product much like a hot dog. Also, like traditional hotdogs, it is already cooked when you buy it. The only reason to "cook" it at home is to improve the taste. Vienna Sausage is essentially a mini-hotdog with a different spice mix that one would expect to see in a traditional hotdog.

Lastly, what is the difference between a cocktail wiener and a Vienna Sausage? Only the name.
 
Good gawd. Grape jelly goes on peanut butter sandwiches, not Lil Smokies. Lil Smokies are eaten cold, right from the package. :thumbsup:
At many of the gigs we used to do, there'd be a buffet with a pan of Li'l Smokies swimming in BBQ sauce and toothpicks to jab them. I'd fill up a plate. Maybe some coleslaw on the side.

What are they called in Austria?
 
A woman made BBQ-something for an employee party once. I tasted it and turned to a guy and said, "Oh good LORD, what IS this?" And he told me she made the BBQ sauce with grape jelly and ketchup. Thought for a minute I'd have to step into the gent's and call to Ralph and Irv when I heard that.
Ketchup based or mustard based. NOT grape jelly based.
 
Biscuits and sausage gravy. Yummmm.
About once a year my father would talk my mother into making him biscuits with hamburger gravy. This, of course, was in the days before you could go into a store and buy lean ground beef, never mind pick the fat content by percentage. Oh, the butcher would tell you it was lean, but it was whatever it was. Aaannyway, his mother used to make it for him when he was a kid, and he just loved it.
 
I have no idea. However, most of the sausage type products found in the U.S. generally have nothing in common with that which one would find in Europe with the exception of Cincinnati style Goetta.
Googled goetta. Interesting(never heard of it). Would definitely try it.

I'm not a from scratch cook(more a heat and eat). I use this stuff over Pillsbury biscuits.

Me Da felt the same way about his dark soda bread. :)
 
My Bride, the person who loves to cook, and cooks every day, has recently said unkind words when referring to our crock pot.

Suggestions?
Yes. Put 2 cans of Kirby black beans, 1-or more-12.5 oz. can of chunk chicken breast(drained and shredded), add cilantro/lime adobo seasoning to taste-I use a lot, and let warm for at least 4 hours-longer's better. Serve over yellow rice.(I use Minute Rice-I'm lazy). Plenty for 2. I get 2-3 meals outta the beans and chicken.
