Quite simply, this is the indoor version of a clambake (without the hot rocks and seaweed). If you can't gain access to a beach and are craving a simple, but special treat, this lobster boil can evoke memories of evening by the ocean in a downtown apartment. The secret to getting everything to cook at the same time is to layer the seafood on top of the potato, corn and sausage. This version uses kielbasa, but a chorizo or even andouille could be a delicious addition to this recipe.

Sausage and cephalopods are two ingredients that, to me, always work together. And if you use your imagination it's not a far leap to think of a cleaned squid body as the ocean's sausage casing. Squid are creatures that need to be cooked hot and quick, or low and slow to get the best results, so once you add the squid to the tomato sauce, make sure to give it the time it needs.

The last time I made blood sausage, I stood by myself in my kitchen with one hand ladling a creamy blood mixture into casings supported by the other hand, thinking,
why I am lading blood into intestines at two in the morning? Blood sausage—with its pudding-like texture of blood and fat, creamy in the center and crispy when browned in fat—is well worth the trouble
if you can procure fresh blood.

If you visit any decent-sized Chinese market you'll find an impressive array of
Chinese sausage, known commonly by its Cantonese name
lap cheong. The term, in fact, is generic and covers a broad range of sausage, both fresh and smoked, and extends to sausages from Vietnam and Thailand. What unifies all kinds of Chinese sausage is an
extremely sweet flavor and an emulsified texture that makes even the fresher links taste like meat candy.

There hasn't been much discussion of blood on
this column because it's just so hard to find a reliable source for fresh blood. But then it occurred to me that blood sausage might be a good thing to discuss. Making it delicious requires very little work: just brown the sausage in a pan and serve it with potatoes, apples, or anything that complements the slightly liverish, iron-rich taste of blood.

Arguably the most famous and iconic Berliner street food dish is the
currywurst. Few German dishes are so popular and have inspired so much controversy.
The traditional currywurst is a fried, scalded sausage with a fine texture cut into thick slices and seasoned with a ketchup-curry powder sauce. The sausage (wurst in German) is served with or without casing, an existential choice for devoted currywurst fans, and may be accompanied by either fries (pommes) or a bread roll (brötchen). An indisputable must-try at any of the hundreds of street food stands (imbiss) throughout Berlin.

SENY has been covering this for a while, but we decided to take it national. Up first: a maple bread pudding sandwich. Yes, we did a double take too.

Renaissance Sausage is kind of like the organic, locally sourced version of the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile.
Dan Samko, the founder and head sausage-maker of the Philadelphia-based truck, sources beef, chicken, and lamb from nearby farms like
Lancaster Farm Fresh and
Jamison Farm. "Everyone's eaten a sausage in their life, so you have to make some of the best sausage for people in this town to really take to it," he said in this video from Liza de Guia's
Food Curated. His
Mediterranean Sausage is gyro-inspired, made with lamb and beef sausage and topped with hummus, tzatziki-dressed cukes, and a red onion and tomato salad.
Watch the video after the jump.

During a recent trip to New York I found myself at
DBGB,
Daniel Boulud's American bistro, just a few doors down from the former location of the legendary
CBGB, where 10 years before you might have found me dodging flailing boots and fists and chugging cheap beer. I couldn't leave without giving the DBGB Dog a shot.< It's one of the few high-end hot dogs out there actually made
in the restaurant, as are many of their sausages—everything from Basque blood sausage to pork and duck gizzard links.
