Usually fill the top of the can with mustard. They are 50/50.

The first time I ate Brown and Serve sausages on a Boy Scout camp out sixty years ago I thought they were great. I still eat them occasionally but I think the quality has slipped or else my tastes have changed.

“A Vienna sausage is a thin parboiled sausage traditionally made of pork and beef in a casing of sheep's intestine, then given a low temperature smoking. The word Wiener is German for Viennese…”
—Wikipedia

Haven’t had any for a long time – ought to try them again. Maybe good for a weight loss program because of their small size.



Serious about crackers.

I eat a can full along with a pack of lance crackers for lunch.

It keeps hunger away till evening meal. Its either that or protein bar. Vienna/lance seem to keep hunger pangs away a little longer than a protein bar.

All part of my program to keep weight near max healthy bmi for my height/weight.

There not all that tasty by themselves and the amount of salt used to hide what it must taste like un-doctored indicates to me that it must be bad.

I can't get past the texture, or rather lack of texture.

No matter how much you cook it, just can't get it to seem like meat.

At least spam can get tough. Spam and Egg with cheese and mayo, good! Salt intake is covered for following week as well.

But, vienna sausages.... no, more like vienna jello.

No, just no for me.

I didn’t know of Lance crackers. If I can find them at any of my grocery stores I’ll try them for my Crackers quest:

A staple in the vending machine in the pilot's lounge at any small airport.

I have often heard that the most dangerous part of flying is the "food" found in the pilot's lounge. My experience indicates that this is true.

Along with the coffee.

I’d swear that some of the coffee I’ve seen at some small fields has been sitting on the burner for hours.

I always ate them with vinegar in the can. Tasty treat to me. I guess that's the joy of growing up poor.

Never understood Vienna sausages...never mind they have nothing to do with sausages from Wien. I could eat them but, never had any craving and always saw them as low-end, bottom food. When its all you got but, you're not very creative when it comes to cooking...

From Wiki:

"They are available plain (in a gelatin, similar to aspic) or with a variety of flavorings, such as smoke, mustard, chili or barbecue sauces. Consumption of Vienna sausages peaked in the 1940s to 1970s, but has declined since then."

I eat them occasionally and I've damn sure eaten worse stuff. Wink

Used to eat them all the time. Stopped when we had them one New Years Eve, many years ago, just after someone screamed, "lets do a double shot of everything". You get the picture. Gags me to smell them now.

Used to soup them up by emptying the juice they came in out, adding cider vinegar with a little hot sauce and letting them soak for about an hour or so. Great with beer and chips after that. Wink

They are a staple at deer camp, at least for the older generation. The younger guys turn their nose up at them.

I dump the juice, put them in a small bowl with mustard and hot sauce. Then in microwave for 30 seconds. Not to bad for a quick easy snack.
