Best brand of store bought summer sausage

What is it? The ones I’ve gotten so far are very bland. Very little flavor.

I am still searching as well...

Head up to Muenster TX to Fischers .... they got the goods. German Engineering. And every other type of sausage you might like. They have their own feed lots and slaughter houses. Made in the USA.

This 100

Yep.

PSA.. thier Pastrami and saurkraut are excellent. The fresh made Kraut is in the vegetable counter. Their salsa is off the hook. Also in the vegetable counter.

By far the best summer sausage in Texas can be found at Green's sausage, Zabcikville.

Lol... Assuming you tried ever Summer Sausage in the state. But good tip.

Greens is closer to Nac but both recommendations are on point. Love me some fichers

Anyone who has fished Moss lake will notice peirs and chimnys for a couple of miles. POW camp during WW II .... they were released and settled here as good citizens. The streets in Muenster are twice as wide a normal US streets. German Engineering. They also built Lake Texoma. There is a plauqe at the Dam that says it was engineered and built by German POW's.

Muenster was German way before the wars.

Most POWs were repatriated to Germany.

When was Texoma built?

"By 1942, much of the labor on the facilities was provided by German prisoners of war (POWs). These men were members of the Afrika Korps, who had been captured by the U.S. Army in North Africa. They were the first POWs used in labor camps by the U.S. "

Got a Buc-ees out your way? If so, their jalapeno cheese summer sausage is good.

finished in '44

I’ve had some great summer sausage from Woody’s in Centerville, but that’s still quite a drive. Didn’t know if Brookshires, Jroger, HEB, or Wally World sold anything worthwhile. Tried some from Atwood’s too, about the same.

I will try it next time I am at a Buc-ees.

Yes you are correct plus a variety of other things they worked on. Maybe if I wrote this instead it might make it a little more clear.

Most POWs were repatriated to Germany after the war. It was very uncommon for a German POW to stay in the USA because of regulations. Some came back to the USA after helping clean up in Europe.

Go to Kroger’s and sample the Boars Head. Their stuff is produced for mass tastes but it is of good quality.

Order it and thank me latter. Much better than Muenster, by far.

Have not tried it. Do they have their own feed lots?

As good as I have found,especially if you can get to their store in Mo, much better price than shipped...

I am not sure, they have a hell of a meat counter.

Their dry sausage is unbelievablely good. The hot is to hot though.

Walk in the store and meats hanging from the ceiling. Awesome place.

German POWs also did a lot of the construction at Augusta National GC—including the famous bridges that cross Rae’s Creek
Also built many of the building structures on White Rock lake in Dallas

Yep... I am an IT guy and work with them daily. Smart peeps. And like Beer. Will drink a man under the table.

Hess meat market is in Muenster, too. If I remember correctly, the owner actually started Fishers and later sold it. They processed my venison and I had quite a bit made into jalepeno cheese summer sausage! And it’s damn good!!

I will vouch for granzines as well. Good stuff.

I like Green's as well. They also process and made my buddy some excellent jalapeno summer sausage from and Axis he killed.

Their meat and deli counter is good quality and tasty stuff. Their game processing on the other hand, well, don’t expect to get the meat from your animals back. No way in hell I would pay them to process a deer or hog.

Those bluejays can smoke sausage

Best I've ever had.

Love their hot links and garlic sausage. Will give their Summer Sausage a try.

I have recently tried some from Sprouts deli and bought some more last week it is good for what is available here semi local

Whittakers Pride Summer Sausage with jalapeño and cheese.

From College of the Ozarks Keeter Center in Point Lookout, MO just south of Branson.

They raise the pigs, make the cheese, and grow the jalapeño right there at the college.

I bought 6 full length last time and have 1 left. Will buy 10 next time in June.

If you ever go to Branson do yourself a favor and make reservations to eat and even sleep at the Keeter Center.

Can't believe no one has suggested Johnsonville summer sausage. Good stuff if you can find it. Being from Wisconsin (been in Texas 30 years) I've tried a lot of summer sausage and Johnsonville is the best. I've only found it in a few stores around here. Winnco has it. Check their website to see who else has it.

Bellville Meat Market has the best around here.

Got some for Christmas. Forgot how good it was for 'Store bought'.

Been a while since the last OT sausagefest.

Best summer sausage is made and sold in Oconomowoc Wisconsin. Not sure it is even available for shipping if it was it would have to be shipped on ice. 5 things you cannot beat Wisconsin for are: beer, milk, sausage, butter, & cheese.

I love Fischer's the best. But since we are really talking only store bought(chains)I assume then I would have to go with Old Wisconsin. Now there is place in Fredericksburg Tx called Opa's. it is like Fischer's and very good. Well they do sale there regular summer sausage or jalapeno/cheese sausage here are one of our local grocery store's. Since that is the case they are my to go to for store bought summer sausage.

Opa's is good. They also make some kick arse pickled quail eggs with Jalapenos. Great boat food. Could be Oma's on the quail eggs. As far as store bought Summer Sausage... If it does not require refrigeration... OUT.

Agree on refrigeration for sure. Will have to try the quail eggs.
