Go with your favorite beer, I suppose. You can't go wrong.<br /><br />Mama: Many Eastern Europeans settled in the Midwest/Great Lakes region and they brought their special dishes with them. I like Eastern European food.

I know a lot of folks are squeamish about sausage but if you can see past what it actually is, you can have quite a nice meal.<br /><br />Sally: I was unaware that the casing was made from non-animal products. I am quite happy to hear that, as thinking about the casing could cause me to never touch a sausage again.<br /><br />HIF: The image of mayo spread on my brat is enough to make me weep. Mrs. Wife puts ketchup on steak.

I sat on the deck and helped peel a dozen eggs. It's all I did to contribute to these astonishing meals.<br /><br />Daisy: Do you know what the casing on a sausage is? If you don't, I wouldn't recommend finding out. <br /><br />Pat: Sausage and mash is a big favorite on my personal menu.
