Thank you for the link. That looks really good. It would be kind of expensive with shipping but I'll poke around that site some more and see what they are about. That I'd love to try. The others on that page I don't like except bratwurst and I only like certain brands of that. I'm not really a sausage/salami person but once I tried a few of these, I like them. I don't like them too spicy.

What I'd like more than anything is to find bulk or patty sausage just like McDonald's. I love the stuff. I called them and think I got Johnsonville but it wasn't the same. Somebody wrote on the web that Walmart had it in frozen patties in long tubes but ours doesn't. There's Bob Evans, hate to waste money trying different ones. Our family never liked sausage too spicy.

The closest I found is some of that pre cooked stuff frozen in the shrink wrap. I would rather find exactly what McDonald's gets.

And don't get me started on hamburgers. I have never been able to duplicate some we could get when young 50's style. There is a place in Chicago, Schoop's that has franchises. Theirs LOOK like these but I haven't been able to try them.

They're in Chicago. Chicago has really good foods. I notice they have it smoked ring style, too, which they say put them on the map. I'd try both. After this batch I will see about getting some of that now that you've tempted me.

That's one good thing about all the ingredients except the raw meat. They keep for a long time in the fridge before you're ready to cook it.
