Setting salt content aside it has a disgusting taste. I have traveled
extensively in other countries, have a very diverse palate and there is
pretty much nothing I won't try and almost always like but I can't stand
a bite of Hillsure industrial sausage no matter how it is prepared.

I think I told this story before. One of my friends has a gathering on
occasion where the feature is kielbasa either grilled or braised w/
kraut. There are at two local mom & pop shops here that make real
kielbasa (not hard-just use real meat and don't pump it up with DOW #55)
and he would get it from one of them. Friend had a family emergency and
didn't have a chance to get real sausage so he got the Hillsure stuff.
There were around fifteen of us there and absolutely no one could eat
more than a little bite of the Hillsure stuff (this wasn't my first
experience).
