IT'S ALL BOUT DA PORTUGUESE SAUSAGE DOGZ

What's for dinner? Filet Mignon? Rack of lamb with a wine sauce? Salmon with a lemon chive aioli? Fuck that! Gimme, gimme, I said gimme a Portuguese Sausage Dog! There's nothing like a slow cooked Spicy Port Dog with its juices coming out, and a steamed hot dog bun at the ready, and some tangy yellow mustard, mmm, now that's a simple man's dinner and I am just that, a simple man with simple things, I'm never complicated, as a matter of fact I can't stand anything complicated. My Android phone? Too complex, the phone key pad is just flat fucking glass, gimme a fucking break! Simple that's me, just keep it that way. Now back to the Portuguese Sausage Dog, in Hawaii we're all into this Charcuterie to the maximum! Okay Chicagoans and New Yorkers may delve into the other sausages like Italian or Polish or Brats or Wieners, well in Hawaii it really is all about the Portuguese Sausage. I am repeating myself WTF?


Okay, what I really like about a Port Sausage Dog is the flavor, like the one pictured is just perfect, it's not too salty, but has the right amount. It's spicy, but not too harsh, and it has the right fat content, how can I tell? Okay when that dog is roasting on them rollers, and the buggers start to pop and sizzle is when you know you got some fat in there, sorry vegan heads, but pork fat rules in terms of flavor. I mean can you get that out of a block of fucking tofu? I don't think so Jackson! Again, any good sausage or Charcuterie needs to have 100 % meat, and fat, no fucking beaks, or wishbones, or fucking bull nuts in the mix. No just good shoulder meat grounded up with some fat, and man the grind should be all YAY. And the seasonings needs to be all YAY as well.


Here are some of the ingredients that goes into a fine Port Sausage. Paprika, garlic, liquid smoke, salt, sugar, cayenne pepper, oregano, red wine, white pepper, black pepper. Of course the chefs at home also known as Mom, Grandma, Pops are the best at making these items. Sausage making is the best when home cooks do it. But there are awesome brands in Hawaii that make Portuguese Sausage and it'll save you time, just cook and eat. Here are some of the brands to look out for.
