We had Italian sausages last night. I fry up some green peppers with
onions in a little olive oil. DH cooks the sausages on the gas grill to
get rid of some of the extra fat. I just put them on a plate with the
peppers and onions and we cut them with a knife.

In former times when bread-eating was permissible, I'd put the sausages
on a hoagie roll and top with the peppers and onions. A susage and
pepper sandwich was one of my favorites at Italian festivals in New York
City or New Jersey on the boardwalk in Keansburg. I do not remember red
sauce ever on one of them.
