I got a pound of bulk pork sausage as part of the special I bought at
the local meat market. I could always form it into "breakfast patties"
but I'm trying to think of other things to do with it.
Breakfast casserole comes to mind. I was also thinking I could brown it
and add it to scalloped or potatoes au gratin to make a main dish casserole.
Any other ideas? I'm really not in the mood for biscuits & sausage
gravy. ;)

;) Hmmmm, I hadn't thought about meatballs in vegetable soup. Perhaps
a variation on Italian Wedding Soup... Thanks!

sausage and I don't have any other ground meat to add to it. Adding it
to pasta sauce might work. Hmmm, pastry... that's so not me. Thanks

groceries included Piggly Wiggly (opened in 1916), A&P in the 1920s,
Ralphs in the 1920s. Kroger and Safeway opened in the 1930s.

manufactured. In 1937 nearly 6 million were produced. I wonder
who was buying all those units.
By 1950, more than 80% of American farms nad more than 90% of urban
homes had a refrigerator.
I can't believe New York City was so backward.

I don't recall my parents or grandparents not having a refrigerator
from 1950. Not sure what they had before that time but never had an ice
man that I can recall.
My mother walked to one of the three supermarkets in the area, A & P,
Penn Fruit, Food Fair.

Red & White in town. There were no packaged meats at all. Everything
was in display cooler at the butcher counter and would weighed up and
wrapped to order. I think I remember there was sometimes ground meat in
a stainless bowl, but definitely not prepackaged.

I made a mock Zuppa-Toscana (Olive Garden) soup once with ground
sausage. I would recommend the soup route, if biscuits and gravy
doesn't sound good.
I don't think it was the recipe that I'm linking below, but it was one
similar. Whichever one I used, it tasted just like Olive Garden,
including being too salty. This recipe doesn't call for any salt. If
using store broth, I certainly wouldn't add any. The sausage had enough
in it... I added some to mine, and that was a mistake.

suggested meatballs - but I'd add at least fennel and Italian erbs
to a sage-based breakfast sausage to mare it more Italian.

Again, this is sage-based breakfast sausage, not Italian.

I can't stomach it when it's presented as the truth, the whole truth,

too far off...
My folks finally got electricity on the farm c. 1939, the REA came through and most everyone in rural
areas was getting electric power; in the 20's only about 10% of rural dwellers had electricity. In a poor state
like Mississippi only 2% of the rural had electricity...
By 1950 all had fridges, and many had massively large freezers, the chest types were especially popular,
ISTR everyone had one...
Until about 1960, we were still killing chickens for dinner. Then store - bought chicken became a thing,
living standards rose, and hen houses very quickly became a thing of the past... I distinctly remember
Styrofoam - packaged meats as a new "thing"...
About that time the first real "supermarket" opened in our rural county seat. Small by today's standards,
but it was a big improvement over the small grocery/general stores that were still routine. By c. 1964 there
were two larger purpose - built supermarkets... now there is a nice newer one, plus a Walmart...
One thing that has changed is that there are only three supermarkets in the whole county. In the past,
every small town or hamlet had a small grocery store. These have been supplanted by gas station
convenience stores. In my tiny town of 400, there were two grocery stores c. 1970, now there is a gas
station with convenience store...
And yeah, I enjoy Sheldon's tales of Ye Olden Times... the only thing missing from this last was his usual
"titty talk" at the end...
