Why is it whenever I find something I like, it disappears from store shelves? Take for example: I finally found a breakfast sausage that tastes like the sausage of my youth. I don't eat it often, for health reasons, but when I do, I want it to taste good. I like Johnsonville original recipe sausage links. Tasty, easy to make. But then they had to go and come out with maple syrup (ewww) and brown sugar (double eww) versions, and the stores around my house only seem to ever have those two in stock now. Grr! First, the sausage is bad enough for me, I don't need to add sugar (which, being diabetic, I don't need to add in most any case).

Cheek out the Johnsonville web pages. They still make the original. you may be able to find them elsewhere near by. And ask your market to order the regular ones. Some stores can be accommodating.

have you ever tried making some fresh sausage patties yourself? I know Penzeys sells various sausage spice mixes, but I've never tried them. It might help you obtain the flavor you remember from your youth? Goomba

I've had tremendous luck getting on the Johnsonville web site and emailing them direct about the product I liked and had disappeared. It was less than a month and the regional sales manager made sure the smoked bratwurst were available almost everywhere in town. It's ridiculous that you can't get the Johnsonville original and you tell them so. Janet (from the home of Johnsonville brats)

I agree that both of those flavors are hardly edible.

Thanks for the advice! I'm e-mailing them tonight. I don't see what the big hooha is over maple syrup in a sausage anyway! lol

It's that darn ad campaign that's going on for the maple syrup brats (ack). The stores must think that folks will be beating the doors down to get them :o{ Janet

Americans have devloped an insatiable appetite for sweet foods. In the future, all meals will be dessert.

Exactly what I suggest. And breakfast sausage is easy to prepare.... and when made yourself you'll know who's in it. It's very easy to make far better sausage than anything you can buy.

This drives me absolutely INSANE. I find it especially irritating with cleaning products. I don't think I have been able to purchase the same toilet bowl cleaner each time I have gone to buy it.

I have given up and gone back to good old Comet and a scrub brush.

I am not sure it has to be, as there have been many breakfasts of pancakes with a side of sausage around here, where the links have surely taken a dip in the Nectar of Vermont, and there is maple flavored bacon all over the place, but it still seems odd that a manufacturer would undercut its own main brand line in favor of the newer ones. Live and learn.

I agree. I tried maple sausage and bacon.
Once only. :-p
Dipping sausage or bacon in the remains of the butter and syrup from pancakes is one thing. Having it mixed in with them is just gross for some reason.
Probably because it's a fake ester "flavoring" and not the real thing.

I would agree, but my hubby just had maple sausage on a bagel for brekkie. I love the smell of it, although I wouldn't touch it!

Why don't you ask the manager of the grocery stores where you shop if they can stock it. I just saw Johnsonville's original recipe sausage on the shelves of a supermarket near me yesterday, so I know they're still available. Perhaps your supermarket was just sold out of that variety.

Johnsonville puts some strange additives in their brats. I quit buying them when I discovered their beer n' bratwurst links (my fave) make my fingers ache. No kidding. The original brats, no problem. But, it took several times eating the beer n' brat style to realize they really cause my fingers to become slightly painful for about 24hrs, like I was suffering from some form of arthritis. Not incapacitatingly painful, but annoyingly noticeable. Weird.

If you do the wrong thing with your sausage, your fingers get numb and you can go blind too. I just wear glasses.

You're right - it isn't real maple syrup as it would be far too expensive to add that to mass produced goods.
What most Americans know of maple syrup isn't really maple syrup. It's sugar syrup and flavoring components.
Even in this house the SO can't abide real maple syrup. But when making certain things I have to use the real thing because using the fake stuff is just unacceptable.
