Good sausage of the month club?

July 17, 2008 8:12 AM

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good "sausage of the month" club?

The intended recipient is not exactly a foodie but appreciates good food and good sausages in particular. He lives in New York, as I do, so New York City sources, though tasty, might not be ideal. Googling seems to yield relatively few places and almost no critical opinion.

My grandfather's friend signed him up for monthly sausage deliveries from sausageheaven.com. He loved it, but had to terminate his club membership because his doctor told him sausage isn't renal diet-friendly.

Or you can just give your friend a Playgirl calendar.

I should add that my grandfather isn't a foodie and thinks Stauffer's frozen dinners are the height of haute cuisine.

While not sausage, Bacon-of-the-month looks good and is equally as porky.

Fortuna Sausage Company. I got this for some friends as a wedding gift and they enjoyed it very much. Shipped via FedEx in freeze paks right to their door.

zentrification, sausages without preservatives don´t carry that risk. I think that´s probably what the OP means by ¨good sausages¨.

I think it would be difficult to get nice fresh sausage shipped to you. Surely you have a nice local craft sausagemaker there? If you want interesting regional flavors, This guy makes sausage with red and green chili as ingredients, but I don´t know if he ships.
