When I was a young beer drinker, I used to love pickled sausage which I
considered a bar meal. I haven't seen it where I live for many, many
years.
I decided to look for some on Google the other night and bought a
gallon of pickled Polish sausage from Paul Johnson Specialty Foods near
where Sheldon resides.
Anybody ever eat this? Should I throw it away as soon as it arrives?
That'd be thirty eight bucks down the drain. Does anybody enjoy pickled
sausage anymore? It's unheard of where I live by younger people.
Botulism concerns and government regulations, I suppose.
I'm a old beer drinker now and crave that taste once again before I
croak, expire, see the elephant, go boots up, kick the bucket, head
south, cash in, take a dirt nap... Well, you get the idea.

Why on earth would you throw it away when it arrived?? At least try one!

I haven't seen pickled sausage in bars for ages. That and pickled eggs
used to be a fixture in "hotels" back in the days when the only place
that you could go for beer was a hotel with a licensed beer parlour. I
used to get a pickled sausage once in a while.

In UK pubs and bars of my youth, the offerings were pickled onions,
pickled eggs, and occasionally in the south of England, pickled walnuts.

Pickled walnuts? Now there's an odd thought.

I'd prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

"President Trump" doesn't make sense, but it's true alright.

My husband loves them, I'd rather eat walnuts as they come from the
shell.

My grandmother mother and aunts used to make them in gallon jars.
I've got some in the pantry (locally home made but not by me). mmmmm I
might have to go and eat a couple now.

Every gin mill in NYC prepared their own pickled sausage and eggs...
none were so ignorant as to buy factory made... in fact back then
there was no factory made. The legal drinking age was 18 and very few
checked ID, if guys could reach the bar, had money, and shaved they
were served... if gals had hooters larger than a training bra they
were served. At that time draft beers were 5¢. Pickled eggs and
sausage were free... every 4th drink was on the house. Every gin mill
served a free dinner on Friday nights, typically catch of the day, or
a typical meal on holidays, ie. corned beef and cabbage on St Paddy's
Day. If a regular patron got too inebriated they'd let them sleep it
off in a booth, and would phone the spouse to report where to find the
lush come morning. Back in the '50s everyone was a regular at some
dive.... the safest place to sleep off a drunk was on a neighborhood
barroom bench. There was someone to clean up and tend to the sots at
night, typically some guy who could be trusted, usually the one who
prepared the food for the catch of the day and holidays... and also
the cop on the beat would check the gin mills. In those days the cops
didn't have much to do with drunks but to leave them to sleep it
off... they were alkies, not drugies
