Twice now I have ordered sausage at breakfast (Hueveos and Elizabeth's), and have gotten The Sausage and Pie Guy's version. It is more coarse, no where near as meaty, clearly more highly spiced, and seasoned with green peppers. Not for me, but hey, that's just my personal taste.

At Huevos, which is owned by these guys, I chalked it up to my foolishness. But now that I have gotten it a second time, I wish proprietors would somehow let patrons know when it isn't the typical item you assume you are ordering, either through a note on the menu, or with a mention by the server when you order.

Breakfast sausage has a very specific, albeit "comfort food"-ish, kind of taste. So if you are going to go off script and not serve me what I am expecting when I order sausage at a breakfast place, the least you can do is tell me, so I know what to expect!

End of rant.

The menu at Huevos does indicate that the breakfast sausage is chaurice. Perhaps reading comprehension isn't a prereq for medical school?

Actually, the side of sausage makes no such mention. Other dishes (eg. the breakfast burrito) do, which is why I thought it safe to assume the two were different.

Do me a favor, don't assume I don't have cancer. Actually look at my chart.

1) why so hostile?

2) when I order sausage at a place that specializes in breakfast, i believe it is incumbent on the restaurant to specify when they are using an ingredient that is non-standard and atypical.

Since you seem intent upon bringing my medical background into play, if I administered an immunization, you would be justified in assuming that I was using the standard, typical medication appropriate for such prophylaxis. If I chose to provide an alternate formulation, I would be obliged to inform you of that substitution, and obtain your consent. I see the issue I have raised as analogous.

I feel certain you will have a rude, hostile, somewhat tangential personal smear ready in response.

What the heck is "breakfast sausage" anyway?

What makes it different from all other sausages?
Is it just that it tastes more greasy?

I might question it at a place called "Elizabeth's", but if I went to a place called "Huevos", and got plain old Jimmy Dean, I'd be pissed.

Pardon the hijack, but it is important:

Oh...my ...God...!!! You just had to bring up Jimmy Dean! Did you know that his mansion was burnt to a crisp last month in ole Virginne? Sad...sad...sad...

Lost tons of boots, cowboy hats, momentos, etc. One saving grace...the Grammy he won for Big Bad John in '62 was saved!!!!!!

Now, I was very young when I learnt that song, but I still remember every pause, break and word 47 years later. Even used to sit on a tall stool to sing it like Jimmy...

The fire started at night, so I don't think he was cooking Breakfast Sausage.

Oh...and back on topic: Give me the Chaurice or anything but JD Sausage!!!!

Just in case no one ever heard the song, here is a link. No record of the '62 recordings, just remakes. There was a line in the song: "Somebody said he came from New Or-leens, where he got in a fight over a Cajun Queen, and a crash and a blow from a huge right hand sent a Louisiana fellow to the Promised Land"

Now who'd a thunk it? A singer gets into the food business! Next thing you know, some food critic in the food business may get into the singing business!

Nawww....not if you have ever heard him sing a note...

That's exactly what I was thinking!
