Bob Evans vs Jimmy Dean

I think Jimmy Dean is better.

Both suck.

Come to NC, and you can find some real pork products.

For our local "name" brands, Bass Farms and Neese's. At the NC Farmer's market, they have awesome sausage you can buy there.

There are many smaller places here that make excellent sausage.

I would never buy Jimmy Dean or Bob Evans sausage. Not even comparable to the ones I listed.

I miss the old wax paper wrapped brick of Neese's sausage. That is one tasty sausage but i haven't had it since I moved from Charlotte several years ago.

We get the generic Kroger stuff. Breakfast sausage, not maple syrup flavored, or super sage flavored, etc etc. Links, not patties, and the generic stuff has more meat and less of the piles and piles of salt the name brands put in.

I guess that's settled then.

I prefer links instead of patties myself.. I think its because of the of the "snap" when you bite thru the casing. I am sure local sausage makers produce better/fresher/tastier sausage than both JimmyDean/BobEvans. In my op I just listed these two because they are widely available; that way everyone can give their $.02

Jimmy Dean and Bob Evans aren't terrible. Are they as good as locally made products? No way, but if you don't have a North Carolina sausage factory nearby they aren't bad brands.

I get bulk from a local meat market that grinds and seasons it themselves. Fry some up, make cream gravy with the drippings and bake some homemade buttermilk biscuits. Okie breakfast heaven.

I've never heard of either of those. Cumberland sausage is the way to go.

so what you're saying is that you like having Jimmy Dean's sausage in your mouth early in the morning? :sneaky:

This, or just buy your own ground pork. Gourmet that shit up. Also, you'll know whats in it. (probably)

That sounds tasty.

Guys at work have been bringing in fresh ground deer sausage (deer meat mixed with pork fat and spices) and we've been frying it up in an electric pan. Man, it's great stuff. I think there are two more rolls in the work freezer.

As for the OP, I don't buy either but then again, I'm too damn cheap to buy name brand stuff. I buy the cheap Kroger stuff.

 

[Kaido]

Chorizo or bust man.

 

[Captante]

Johnsonville isn't terrible ... but of the OP's choices I'll go with Jimmy Dean.

And of course anything made fresh should beat out mass-produced.
