I don't know if these are available in your area, but I've always liked
the "Oscar Mayer" brand of breakfast sausage links. Be sure to ask your
grocery store's management. Unfortunately, the OM sauasage links are no
longer stocked by the grocery store I used to frequent. Dang it! I did
learn from the butcher, however, that he'd forgotten about 'those'
sausages, and he would inquire as the availability of that particular OM
breakfast sausage links. Apparently, the store(s) would buy the OM
breakfast links in bulk, then indivually package them in the same way
the store's other meats were packaged. Heh, I haven't had good
breakfast sausage links since - dang it again.
Sky, who prefers breakfast sausage links more than bacon with the grits!
