I like Southside and Meyer's from Elgin - a lot!. Also frognot brought a bunch that was really good - Slovacek, Conecuh, and others I can't remember right off the bat. Kreuz also does mail order and their sausage is fantastic IMO.
 
Conecuh,for my tastes are wonderful.I will be trying others, as recommended on this site.I have also found a brand called Country Pleasin that suits my taste too.To each their own.I really like their Green Onion variety.
 
I never lived in Texas, but without even living in Texas, i would miss beef prices the most. I secretly hate a few members on this forum just because they live in Texas. I know its selfish, but i am poor, if i was rich, i probably would like this forum more.


In another thread you posted about meat prices:


I am in the minority here that agree's with you on prices for "cheap" cuts. I wait for sales and won't pay more then $6.99/lb for choice ribeye/T-bone/Porterhouse. I wait for NY strip to go on sale for $4.99/lb and Chuck roast to go on sale for $3.99/lb (aggressively trimmed) and Choice short rib plates for under $4/lb.


Candice, I don't know where you live, but here locally, if I waited on those prices, I'd be a vegetarian. Well, chuck roast occasionally is priced in 3.99 range on sale. Now our prices aren't as high as some others I see posted here and I too am jealous of some of the prices I see in Texas. I have no idea how come the prices are so much lower.

I popped into Kreuz last Sunday after the Texas Bash. Was quite disappointed, sausage was kind of mealy and very greasy, brisket was dry, but the beef clod was off the hook.

Only place I had decent sausage from a que joint was at Cooper's in downtown Austin. Louie Mueller's sausage was probably the worst of the bunch, rubbery skin and dry, dry, dry...

The sausage that sleebus.jones brought to the bash was great. But being a Polak, it still didn't have enough garlic. :loco:
 
Picked up a Rocky's Sampler from New Braunfels Smoke house before the replies came in and just received it. Will cook some up momentarily when the wife gets home. Need to see what ones she wants to try since she's cooking tonight. Usually eat a Hillshire Farm with new potatoes once a week so we'll see. Will definitely try southside market next. Went with these since they had a cheap variety pack. Opa's will be on the list soon too! Thanks for all the replies!

This may be why I can't understand the fascination with "Texas sausage". Because that is what I've found when I've tried sausage brought back from Texas. I expect sausage to be moist, instead of greasy, and flavorful.
And German sausage, which I understand is the origin of the recipes found in Texas, is easily available here in Michigan, and is superior to the "Texas sausage" I've had.
 
Maybe you forgot this is a thread about Texas sausage?

As dadsr4 said, there's way too many good sausages out there to limit oneselves to a single brand.

I have tried dozens of brands of sausage from all over the country. I have spend probably close to 700 dollars in trying different brands (purchasing online) that members recommended . I have also taken many trips to texas for vacation and brought back a variety of brands.

NONE of them are as good as Conecuh.

Anytime I've had shipped sausages that I've also had the fresh version of, fresh is better. Maybe you should check out local sources for fresh sausages.
 
Honestly, while everyone says Texas BBQ is all about brisket and beef, i find that the reality is that Texas BBQ is "whatever you want as long as it's meat".

That sums it up very well. Texas is a pretty big state and there's lots of variation between regions. "Legends of Texas Barbecue" by Robb Walsh is an excellent cookbook that covers the history and regional differences of BBQ in Texas.
