Vienna sausages (36¢ per can)
 
Does anybody have a good recipe for using them? (they are kind of
bland) Maybe mashed into an ersatz paté, or skewered in Shish Kabobs?

They work pretty well for giving a dog a pill...

That sounds almost as good as Nigella's Valentine Date Rape Steak:
http://www.npr.org/2011/02/14/133682...es-dinner-date
Undercooked green beans, burnt skin baked potatoes, and a steak f-ed
up by her nasty "sauce."

"Food is a big expense, and it's a big temptation to buy the cheapest
stuff out there, whether for eating at home or when you need to eat
out. But cheap, nasty food results in nasty meals and doesn't help you
stay healthy."

Me too. Sometimes I feel fancy; cut each in thirds and arrange on a
paper plate with spam cubes and enjoy with a toothpic... good dipped
in garlicky black bean sauce.

Hmmm... I never thought about cooking them. I remember them as snack food
on a camping trip. The texture is a little weird. Maybe BBQ sauce?

I buy the cheeee ends from the deli, typically half price. I like to
cut the American cheese ends into cubes and dip those in garlicky
black bean sauce too... I guess dairy and black bean sauce is a food
oxymoron. I cube mozz and dip that in black bean sauce too.

I can't tolerate turkey spam. I don't like any poultry sausage. Even
vienna sausage I only like the beef or pork ones.

I have lots more strange junk food habits... you would like what I can
do with a pickle. LOL

I think I'm reconnecting with my inner "Old man who grew up during The
Depression" (even though I didn't) :-) I also really like Spam
(sliced and fried) but it has to be the original kind, not Spam Lite
or turkey Spam :-P

I got back into Spam after two decade hiatus from being served Spam
breakfast burritos on a camping trip.

Pan fry course diced Spam till edges crispy. Scramble some eggs w/
Spam along with diced sauteed onions, garlic, peppers, shrooms, and
whatever else you like. Wrap in flour tortillas and add fave salsa.
Killer.

LOL! Don loves them as an occasional fast item. He doesnt do spam but will
have them right from the can as is, or with a little added tobasco.

I get him a can every 2-3 months.

Maybe they taste just like the Shelden gold star Hillsure sausage like
products that he likes so much?

Vienna Sausage Confit:

Thoroughly drain the liquid from the cans and re-cover them with hot
duck fat. Tap down the cans to allow fat to settle to bottom. Allow
to cool to room temperature. If the sausages are not covered
completely after they cool, add more liquid duck fat.

Cover cans with 3 layers of cheesecloth and put them in a cool 45-55F,
65% relative humidity cellar 3-4 months to age. You may also use a
wine or kimchi refrigerator.

To serve, simply warm them in a hot water bath until you can remove
them, then hit them with a blow torch to brown them lightly and
caramelize some of the surface sugars. Serve with a mixture of grape
jelly and Heinz Chilli Sauce and a box of toothpicks.

I would like to nominate this "recipe of the month." I'm trying this when I get home.
