Do you prefer the redder/pinker variety (which I assume has a higher meat content) or the paler, greyish looking variety (which I assume has a higher fat content)?
For example -- Red variety: Pale grey variety: 
The brand I've always gone with is a red variety but recently I tried a new brand which happens to be the pale grey variety (a dollar cheaper too -- more fat vs. meat). I was appalled at first, and didn't think I would like it (I didn't care for another pale variety when I'd had it years ago) but after I cooked it up I found it rather tasty. The higher fat content allowed it to fry better without burning, and the volume of grease left over was almost like that of bacon. It's juicier as well and tender. |

gray might also be due to additional filler. That said, I enjoy scrappel and head sausage.

Skip the roll.
Go to a meat counter where they actually grind the pork and mix the seasoning. You'll be much happier. I don't actually blend my own seasoning, I use a premix. Fall is coming, I can tell by my sausage sales, they will triple in the next few weeks. The grey stuff looks pretty ugly.

I have been making my own sausage for decades. Have about 6 different recipes/flavors. It's easy to make and beats the shit out of any pre packaged store stuff. My daughter got me a new industrial strength stainless steel grinder for Christmas last year. It grinds an eight pound pork shoulder in a couple of minutes. |

I don't want artisan organic champagne fed pork with hints of marijuana. I want greasy, spicy as shit sausage that makes excellent gravy. Jimmy Dean is okay but I know there's better stuff out there. This Virginia boy misses all the foods from Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Anyone have a recommendation for a place that does Internet orders? |

Conecuh is the only correct answer when the question is breakfast, although it works well grilled on a bun, cooked in red beans and rice, etc. I can remember when it was only local in that area. My grandmother would visit her home town near Andalusia and bring back pounds of this sausage. I worked in a grocery store near Mobile in high school and college and remember when it was finally available in this area. We would get pallets of it and still run out before the next truck came in. |
