food rave of the day (3/21): sausages

[MissMillie]

I made some homemade, baked-in-the-oven mac & cheese the other night and added both ham and sweet Italian sausages. It was delicious!

What kind do you like best?

2. Linguica and rice is served for breakfast in Hawai'i. Even at McDonald's!

It is known simply as "Portuguese sausage".

edit: Oh yes, hold the mustard!

3. Speaking of mac and cheese

I made a baked one a few weeks ago with some kielbasa in it. It was a big hit at the house. Melted grated cheddar and parmesan into a bechamel and seared thick chunks of kiealbasa and threw it all in a casserole dish with corckscrew pasta and baked it for a bit until the cracker crumbs on top were brown and it was bubbling up all lava-like and delicious. (I use Ritz/Townhouse - whatever was on sale - but any cracker-ass cracker will do)

I love most all sausage - the only one I don't LOVE is plain old country breakfast sausage - the kind that comes in a tube and you slice off patties and fry them. I like it but I don't love it. I'd rather have scrapple though.

English breakfast sausage, on the other hand, is one of the greatest things ever.
