As a unplanned test, heated 2 Klements brats in microwave covered
baking dish and then did 2 Johnsonville brats-the jville brats had
much more grease and water! Klements are very good and also Usinger's
I think are even better. A local Italian deli in Kenosha by the name
of Tenuta's makes their own sausage and sausage links-simply superb.
It is the only "bulk" sausage I can stomach. The stuff you buy in the
supermarkets in those tubular packages are all fat. Used to work as a
butcher-paid way thru highschool and college and made special sausage
for ourselves and the bosses. The customers sausage was loaded with
fat.

Check around for any ethnic butcher shops-had a polish butcher in
Mpls, Khmarchuck's (sp?) sausage to die for. Had breakfast this
morning with a Pole and a Russian-told them about the sausage in
Khmarchuck's and the Pole knew the stuff, even the name and the
Russian gal said yes they had the same in Russia.
