I don't. Tried it on multiple occasions and don't care for it and I am
quite open minded about food and likely have eaten everything that can
be put on stick or purchased from a food stall but I just can't get past
the taste of Hilshire.

We used to make it but it is a lot of work just to make a small quantity.

Fortunately we have some local shops that make it and a larger company
that makes a decent version. None are expensive.
