Red Beans & Rice (adapted recipe from Paul Prudhomme's 'Louisiana
Kitchen') and cornbread cooked in my trusty old cast iron skillet. :)

I couldn't find my usual brand of andouille sausage (Savannah, which is
fairly local) the last time I went to the grocery store. So I bought
[Bruce] Aidell's brand.

It tastes good but the thing I find interesting is I can't get something
from a fairly local company but this sausage from California is on the
shelves. According to their website they sell all sorts of weird
sausage combinations.

https://www.aidells.com/products/dinner-sausage/

"Today, we're continuing Bruce's legacy of creating some of the most
unexpected flavor combinations in all our delicious sausages.
Combinations like Pineapple & Bacon, Habanero & Green Chile, Spinach &
Feta, and Artichoke & Garlic."

Oh, goody! Anyone want to buy pineapple & bacon sausage? Maybe to put
on a pizza... These things do sound a bit odd to me since Andouille,
even though based on a French recipe, is decidedly Cajun/French
Canadian. No artichoke, no spinach, no Feta cheese. I love all those
things, but please not in sausage. Sounds very "California". ;)

The Aidell's andouille was fine, but I would rather buy from a more
local source. I'll look for the Savannah brand the next time I go to
the grocery store.

Check with Popeye. I bet he's got a new york jewish recipe that
will knock yoose socks (and yoose drawers) off.

No need to buy preground mystery stuff. Only morons and faggots buy
that.

That sounds filling and tasty as well. Dinner here was a popsicle.

Aidell’s is available where I shop. Of course, their plant is right over
the hill. I’m glad you liked the andouille. I haven’t cooked Cajun in
years, and that’s what I use andouille for. Maybe it’s time.

I've bought the chicken and apple sausage but only when it was marked down.
Never tried it. My dad had it in the hospital. He said it was okay.

I had leftover pizza *yawn* Will likely have leftovers later, but not pizza.

The idea of chicken sausage (or turkey sausage) has never appealed to me.

UGH! Me, neither. It sounds as appealing as chicken and pork hotdogs or
baloney. B.A.R.F.

Chicken sausage can be delicious if you don't try to treat it like pork
or beef. I've had Vietnamese chicken sausages that were absolutely
delectable. Made from scratch (not by me).

Don't get me started on chicken hot dogs and balogna. I refuse to
eat that crap unless I actually get into a state of genuine starvation.

Fried chicken is great though. If you can find decent chickens to
start with.

I once opened a package of ground turkey sausage, it STANK to high heaven, so I will never eat any highly - processed FOWL products 'cuz they are, well, FOWL...chicken and turkey I both like, but not any ground fowl "mystery meat"...chicken/turkey is used as a "filler" for some products, I do not want to know the birds' provenance...amongst the worst is turkey "bacon" - YUK...!!!

It's truly terrible. And you've got to read the package ingredients on
several of those 'kielbasa/smoked sausage' products as well. They contain
chicken as a filler. Eckrich (spelling?) and Hillshire Farms sell the
chicken and pork varieties.

Turkey bacon should be illegal. Actually, any packaged meats with chicken
or turkey should be illegal.

I've made a mix of 70/30 pork/dark meat turkey. Mixed it was fine,
leaner than full pork but still good flavor. I'd never even go 50/50.

Hahahaha. Wife was on some fad diet YEARS ago. Wanted turkey bacon
cause she likes bacon. I told her "you won't like it, but I'll go
buy it anyway."

She has never asked for, nor bought that shit again. She now knows
what turkey bacon is like.

Some of the bird sausage ain't too bad, but ain't great either.

Next they'll be squeezing fresh horse shit into synthetic plastic
casings and selling it as sausage ... With a picture of a
defecating equine on the package.

I think that chicken and turkey stuff is actually a sort of paste
made by macerating and grinding poultry scraps. Previously used in
animal feeds, like cat and dog food to prevent waste.

Now, we are expected to eat it. Woof woof!

No thanks.

There's one item we did like very well but they stopped carrying it.
Harris Teeters had a Black Pepper Turkey Pastrami that was excellent.

Turkey pastrami can be quite tasty if you don't think of it as pastrami.

I like Cajun food. I'd buy the Aidell's andouille again. One Cajun
sausage I miss being able to find is boudin. Back in west Tennessee I
could find it in the grocery stores. Not in this part of South
Carolina. There is a meat market in town that claims to be able to get
boudin but they didn't have any when I stopped in. Then this stupid
pandemic hit and I haven't been back to check. It's an interesting
little shop. They carry all sorts of off the wall things including
alligator tail meat and venison sausage.
