After a delightful White House visit this morning, Pope Benedict XVI cruised down Pennsylvania Avenue in his sweet popemobile. Apparently, he likes White Houses but not white sausages. He's tired of receiving the wurst, originally from his native Deutschland, as a gift. It's a nice gesture, but a little awkward. You understand, right?
This commercial has convinced me that Hungarian sausage is the key component to having a kick-ass party. But it's not just the sausage—the song is pretty damn catchy.
Watch the glistening sausage madness after the jump.
Robin Mather Jenkins of the Chicago Tribune, lamenting that people don't eat breakfast sausages anymore because they think of them as fatty, shares a recipe for maple-sage breakfast sausage, lean and made from scratch. She says, "It's simple to make, and impressive. It takes just a few minutes to prepare, and it is many times better than store-bought, especially if you mix it up a day or two ahead of the time you plan to cook it, so the flavors can blend." Freeze the patties, and you can have breakfast sausages anytime you want!
A piece in Saveur has a hilarious take on the origins of currywurst, the griddled pork sausage topped by a bizarre mix of ketchup and curry powder.
Lena Brucker, a street stall owner in postwar Hamburg, "tripped on a flight of stairs while carrying a carton of ketchup and a can of curry powder obtained on Hamburg's black market. Absentmindedly licking her fingers after cleaning up the mess, she discovered the two ingredients' delightful compatibility."
It sounds like the origins of fusion food in general. Where can Serious Eaters find the best currywurst in this country? I noticed that New Yorkers can get their currywurst fix at the Hallo Berlin cart and at the Hallo Berlin restaurant.

Mrs Marv is so hardcore that she made sausage, biscuits and gravy for her mom—all of it completely from scratch. Yes, even the sausage! I think you'll agree with me when I say that I think she is a breakfast rock star.

19 year-old Dayne Gilbey of Coventry, Wales volunteered to let tattoo artist Blake Dickinson ink his skull with the image of a full English breakfast: "bacon, eggs, sausages, beans and even cutlery."
Frankly, I'd be amazed by Gilbey's foolhardiness except that I'm too busy appalled by how ugly that tattoo turned out to be, especially when you consider how pretty the photo of an English breakfast that ran with Graham Holliday's In Defence of British Food feature today is! What do you make of it?
Southern Fried Eggs Benny is kind of like Eggs Benedict, only with a fried egg instead of poached, sausage instead of Canadian bacon, and cream gravy instead of Hollandaise. If your mouth isn't watering by now, I'm not sure we can be friends.
Jimmy Dean sausage inside a sweet pancake shroud: get 'em, fourteen at a time, with blueberries, chocolate chips, or plain. They're calling these "fun on a stick," but I think "corn dog in drag" is more appropriate.
Perhaps we are better off in outer space.
