MONDAY SAUSAGE BRIEF


Good evening. This is your sausage brief for July 6th, 2009.

The record for sausage consumption in one sitting stands at 4.84 pounds. I'm coming for you, Tom "Goose" Gilbert.

APPARENTLY, someone didn't get the memo about PDICE Sausage Week and forgot to include us on their "sausage invitational." Looking at you, Mary McGrath. But I ain't mad atcha.

Speaking of getting the memo, my good pal Mark Bittman over at the New York Times decided, in the spirit of sausage week, to indulge in some sausaging in Vermont.

And finally, I shall digress. I am amazed at how frequently and consistently the topic of sausage blows my mind. The confines of perception and reality are continuously contorted, obscured, and brought back to eye-level with this magical meat. So, I say to you, as you click the little yellow word at the end of this sentence, be aware that I am stricken with flabbergasms.
