Why are Vienna Sausages packed in aluminum cans ?



Mike

Why not?

Boys and I always called a can of Vienna's "lil brothers" and a can of sardines "lil sisters".

But then again my 3 y o grand son was asking his dad for a jar of "hog trotters" for supper last night. Damn white trash!!

That's funny!


Eons ago we used to call Vienna Sausages "monkey dicks"...

I had forgotten all about that until I was visiting an old lady neighbor rancher awhile back and she said she was gonna eat some monkey dicks for lunch... Yep, she held up a can of Vienna sausages..

Monkey dicks!!! LOL! I wished I could find a big ol' gallon jar of pickled eggs!!! Hell! Them with this cheap azz beer I drink would scare a Vegan phart back up their azz!!!

Oh Ron! I've laid off the Hamms! I'm hooked back on the Pearl!!! Cheaper and delicious!

my grandson calls them monkey dicks, have no idea where he got that from.....

Because they'd rot through steel..

Hate them things. Rather starve.

Spam, however, is a different story.

i lived on them and corn nuts, when i was out in the oilfield

Roflmao!!!

I wonder???

Go nuclear with garlic and onion pickled eggs.

http://www.amazon.com/Garlic-Onion-...0%2C160_&refRID=0G5Y9SJG5TE248WB3V4H

pickled eggs are easy to make.

One of my ol' hunting compadres from way back in the day who was from Albuquerque in another life was a meat plant inspector. He said generally better stuff went into the Viennas. It was the potted meat you had to watch out for!!!

Yep.

Spam too.

Nuthin' but azzholes and elbows.

chit, potted meat with mayo samwitch is is delicious.

When I was a kid, I'd take of into the hills for 2-3 days at a time.

Lived on Vienna sausages, sardines, and pork-n-beans.

I still like the sardines, pork-n-beans. But if offered a canned wiener I'll take one to be nice and pass them up on the second go around. I do however still pack them in my pack for a day trip once in awhile. I do like them in pickled eggs also.

I absolutely love Spam. The real stuff. Not the wanna be store brand. Goes on EVERY hunting trip I take. Whether it gets used or not. It's always in the pantry.

I like to make a ham salad spread with Underwood's Deviled Ham. Mix it with a boiled egg, a diced dill pickle and some Mayo. Love that stuff.

Pop and I going fishing, cane poles and a cage of crickets, a box of Ritz, a couple of cans of potted meat and Viennas. I guess I'm officially old, being several years older than Dad was on those outings years ago.

Another post reminded me: cold pork and beans straight from the can.

During WWII 2 GI's were in a foxhole and discussing the much hated vienna sausages. The the Platoon Sgt came up and told them thta Vienna Austria had just been bombed. One GI said,"Geez,I hope to Hell they hit the sausage factory!!"

Monkey Dicks is all I ever heard them called!!!!

We always pronounced them "vye eena".

there is no:
understanding a texican, particularly one who speaks french
and recites poetry.
likes that cheap azz beer
talks funny(remember i married into a texican family going back to the 1840's)
still thinks they can withdraw from the union.
likes pickled eggs.
I had an improper thought the other day, every once in a while we take sardines, which i like, out to feed some feral cats. I got some of that juice on my hands, play devil getting it off. It does smell like something else so the nickname probably is appropriate.
If i get to quemato i have to remember to bring up a couple of sixpacks of olympia beer. yes they are making it again. one of my good friends is the granddaughter of the guy who started that company.

i have been known to this day for all of that stuff, plus onions, dark bread, and hard cheese. it came from my dad too.

Olympia was a good company and a not bad beer until the corporate raiders did them in.

Glad to see the name lives on.

Pop liked "rat" cheese too.

some of the family have talked about reviving it. epa issues, regulations etc seem to squash it. but they are making some of these old names these days.

Always take a can of monkey dicks in the gear bag for hunting. Makes a good emergency food with all the calories.

Mom was strictly forbidden from bringing Spam into our house. Dad ate so much of it during WWII that he never wanted to taste it again.

Unfortunately, he took a liking to that Godawful goose liver, or braunschwager. My steady diet for several years of lunches at school was Oscar Mayer goose liver on white bread with Miracle Whip. Can't even look at the stuff any more.

Vienna Sausage - Smoked Flavor - BBQ flavor - Jalapeno flavor - Bourbon BBQ and tasty new Syrup flavor. Get some - TODAY!!

Mix in some boiled egg and it's gourmet.

I might go through a can or two in the fall during hunting season and perhaps a couple more the rest of the year. Went through a lot more back in my twenties when I used to eat a lot of stuff I wouldn't touch now. Got a can off the shelf here and checked what's in it because I couldn't recall what they're made out of. Here's what it is: SAUSAGE: "MECHANICALLY SEPARATED CHICKEN , WATER, SALT, CORN SYRUP, ... CONTAINS 2% OR LESS OF: BEEF, PORK, DEXTROSE, NATURAL FLAVORS, SODIUM NITRITE, GARLIC POWDER. BROTH: CHICKEN BROTH." And I still don't know why it's in an aluminum can .

Dam Ron! We used to drink Oly when we hunted around Silver City!

I still drink the juice off sardines!!!!

you can't let that stuff stop you. I think we are a lot like a lot of predators, go for the soft partially rotted junk on an animal, just cause it's easier to rip off and digest.

You are correct!

Potted meat FYI Chock full of peckers and lips. Per Johnboy and Billy, radio show out of NC.

I like 'em a lot. Usually, I'll eat them out of the can. Pour off the juice, fill the can with BBQ sauce, and go to town. Works great with Ritz Crackers.

As a kid I did not know these were called Brazil nuts til the neighbors came over and saw them on the card table.

I just wish they would make a bigger can. Heck, right now a canful is just a snack that leaves you wanting more.

I knows what dey is!!!

Ni gger toes?

i might admit to pouring that slop on bread.
as to the oly, that confirms it if i can remember to get it, i got a couple cases of it up at the house in prescott.
oly that is, my wife fed the last of my sardines to the cats, said they were past the expiration date, as if that would hurt anything.

i don't think i have heard them called anything other than dat.

They are in a little metal can so you can heat'em in the campfire. Then you use the empty for a drinking cup!

rockinbbar maybe.........He's a bad influence you should keep an eye on him.

.......so much for the metallurgy of the can.....



Mike

I am all about the Spam, but avoid Vienna.

It's to reduce the weight of the garbage created by battalion numbers of men eating them.



Dave

Pearl.... Dads beer. Brings back memories, in the little short neck bottles.....ain't drank a pearl in a LONG time. Course I don't drink much at all anyway so its no surprise. LOL.

I've always called them surveyors steak.

My hunting pard always carries those, canned sardines or similar and canned stewed tomatoes in his fanny pack for lunch in the field. I got to smell the stench of the fish last fall.

God dam worked in a packing house too many years to eat floor sweepings, grinder scrapings, and grease trap cleanings!!!!!!!!!!!

They go good on biscuits too

lol probably true!

They are packed in aluminum cans because of the sodium chloride given off by the meat would corrode steel cans.

And you can warm them up in the can?

None a you summbitches know fine culinary delicacy when it's staring at you in the face at your local gas station. If this was over in the caviar section of the local gourmet shop at $100/oz., you'd be singin' a different story!

Tip, sausages are best at room temp followed by a chaser of the gelatinous goo leftover.

Goooood livin'!!!

Me too but we call those creme drop candys you get around Christmas negro toes.

As for Vienna sausages, I had rather eat sardines, just as $hitty but way better for you. I will call them monkey diks frome hence forth.

A fishing trip wouldn't be complete without a can of Vee-ann'r sausages and a package of Nabs.

Do you still speak to your Mom? I'm not complaining about the braunschwager but Miracle Whip on anything is unforgivable, I hate the stuff. Learned early if buying a sandwich at a southern meat counter and they asked if you wanted mayo to say no as most had no idea there was a difference and if you tried to explain it you got a look like a cow at a passing train.

We always called them "baby dicks". Man, that goose liver with chopped onions and good old miracle whip on bread....yum.
If you want the definition of nasty ass spread, it's mayo, nothing but gawd damned grease and egg yolks...whew, nasty chit for sure!

Bet you like fromunda

i gotta be loaded to eat them. its the consistency that gets me. kind of like chilled dog chit. not that i would know what chilled dog chit is like. my beagle seems to like it though so i trust his judgement.

I'm with ya on the Gooseliver!

I like the Oscar Mayer brand with the hog fat on the edges.

Braunschweiger will do in a pinch too.

Dumbass me , I didn't have a clue so I googled that.

One of them things I didn't want or need to know


Mike

I dearly love any and all things mentioned above. And by a curious coinkydink, I was shopping today and saw a lady with an 18-pack of Vienna sausages. No kidding.

Some of you can make fun of SPAM, Viennies, Braunsweiger, and potted meat, but they are all made with good wholesome meat. That meat might come from a part of the animal you're not used to eating (like cheeks and tongue) but it's all good. Correct that: it's DAMN good.

Monkey? Hell, those damn sausages are bigger than mine, LOL!

I like Vienna Sausages, despite the congealed fat when they are cold. Much easier to pour off the fat when they are warm. My Wife and kids think that they're disgusting, but that just leaves more for me. Vienna sausages, ramen noodles, baby belle cheese, and club crackers sounds like a hardy lunch to me.

What do you have against azzholes and elbows ya lazy bastid.....

My motto whether hot dogs, spam, vienna wieners, or potted meat.....the more snout the better.....

Haven't had any of that POTTED MEAT FOOD PRODUCT in years. I used to consume it once in a while long ago in my economically challenged younger days. I don't recall exactly what it's made from but the ingredients listing on the can is enough to scare you out of buying it. One of my buddies used to joke about it, saying that it was made from whatever they scraped off the slaughterhouse floor at the end of the workday. Next time I see some I'm gonna check it out. Might even buy a can just to relive the experience. One thing I do remember about it is that Vienna Sausages are MUCH better.

As long as it was clean when it went in the pot, I'm good with it.

Man.....I love that chit.....when I was a kid it was my favorite lunch meat....I'd peel the fat ring off and eat it on the spot....then make a sandwich out of the center.............................with LOTS of mayo.....

Pretty sure Braunschweiger actually list Pig Snout as an ingredient...

i was telling my wife about this thread, and she was snickering. and she said do you remember when we first got married i was putting that stuff in the basket and you said who eats that caca? I forgot she was born in texas.

I always wonder who eats garbage called process meats.

Laff'n. Fromunda and cock meat on wheat with a big dab of duck butter!

What the fugk is goose liver?




Dave

It is a organ inside a goose.

Good chit!

Making the pate properly is a process similar to chokin' yer chicken (or so was told).

I just googled it and it appears to be nothing but liverwurst.

Liverwurst is delicious and anybody that can't love and enjoy monkey dicks, spam, or potted meat is a flaming homo.




Travis

Except for the inconvenient fact that Braunschweiger is NOT goose liver. It's made out of beef or pork liver, with bacon, meat, and seasonings mixed in.

Then I'm open for fuggin buisness, cause potted meat and monkey cock ain't food or even processed food product. Screw that nasty $hit!

Though spam is a heavenly treat.

Sounds like they're synonymous in most locale's.




Dave

I LOVE processed meat as much as the next guy but heard it's also hard on a guy.



Leftover steak and pheasant breast strips(in a zip lock with a little sauce....), and hot dogs and Vienna's. It's all about convenience.



Fuuckin' LOVE all meats......

Try Vieners with LOTS of mustard, with a side of Lance Nipchee crackers. Combine that with Cherry Lemon Sundrop and you have a delicacy.

We used to eat all those delicacies, but most times we couldn't afford to buy the fancy stuff that came in a can so smoked or pickled beef tongue was the meat du jour.

Any of the sausage or ring bologna is really good from this place....try a ring of the liver sausage the color may be intimidating...but I have never had any that tastes better.

sausage Link....


Go to the sausage and kuchen special order part of the page....

I was trolling for Flave......grin



All right you puzzies......





Just downed a bottle of this for supper.

Well...now ya know granola boy.....enjoy your humas.....

"formed"

da fuq?

Still, fine eats if it makes a turd in the am...

Chipped beef on toast..... Yum yum

I figured out a long time ago, if it tastes good, don't f**k it up by reading the label.........

95% Fat Free?
WTF? You drive a Subaru now to, Samantha?

Hah! That chit is great with white gravy on toast. Enough sodium the cows will lick ya ta death.

Vienna sausage have been in my pack as long as I been hunting and that's awhile

Yep, azzholes, lips and eyebrows ... with the occasional navel. That's what goes into Vienna sausages.

Oh yeah, and the "casings" are made out of monkey scrotums.

Blessings,

Steve

peanut butter...hot sauce...kangaroo wine...white label beer.......and box of tampons.

I buy Vi-any sausages for the dog, along with chicken dogs and occasionally liverwurst. I do eat some of his liverwurst, but not that other crap.

Sardines packed in mustard, kippered herring, and smoked oysters are primo eats.

If you're going to eat SOS, at least get the good dried beef. Anything "formed and flaked" is out.

You're just disappointed that this thread weren't about Vienna Boys Choir

It is after reading that.

PM sent.




Dave

Playing with my emotions?

WTF?

Go back to your kangaroo wine.




Clark

Just don't bait him out about ugly Blackhawk's sweaters.......

I would dearly love to see some of you on a military survival course. Along about the fifth day of you waiting for prime rib to fall from the sky, I'd just grin at what you'd be willing to eat. And like. Except that I'd have beaten you to it.

Meat is meat, boys and girls. It's a shame that some of the best parts of the animal never make it to market except in cans.

Dan told me Bob loves meat in the can.

Italian sausage?

The sweet variety?

Mild hypertension so I try to keep my salt intake down hence I touch none of it.

I forgot about the sodium angle on those things. Luckily I don't have to watch the salt intake, at least not yet. But I checked my 4.75 oz. can of vienna sausages and it has 470 mg. of sodium. That's a lot for a 4.75 oz. can.

I've eaten some pretty strange stuff in my life, canned sausage doesn't even make the top 50.

Viennas and Franks and beans could make marines sing hallelujah if it were that or an MRE! We were always willing to carry the extra weight in our packs because no one wanted to be plugged up for 3-4 days only to crap a cinder block!!

I was in the C-Rats Army and learned to like ham & eggs 'cause few others I ever met liked them. A little Frank Hot Sauce made the "green eggs and ham" quite good, either hot or cold, but not frozen.

Any C-rat is improved w/ the addition of baby dicks. Beanie Weanies w/ a can of cheese melted over the top cooked over C4 followed by a can of peaches is a feast to the grunt gourmet.


mike r

Old guy I used to know called 'em "Puppy Peters". Never tasted the same after I heard that.

Damn, gophergunner! You lived the same nightmare I did! Blehhh!

Cheap chit meat goes in cheap packaging.

I had a girl friend like that, fun but a dirty whore...

We called them Vieeny weenies. I ate a lot of them when I was in the Army the first time. Not so many the 2nd and 3rd time. I was getting separate rations then and could afford real food.

I buy a few cans and eat them with crackers just to remind myself where I came from.

kwg

1 of these days I'm going to get a camping trailer, which I will rename "hurricane escape module", and I will stock it with the necessities of life: Vienna sausage, potted meat, sardines, beef jerky, and BUDWEISER!

I keep a couple of cans of Vienna sausages in the truck, along with a pack of saltines. Useful when you get sidelined and don't get to a good lunch! I honestly don't mind 'em on ocassion.

Vyeenees were in steel cans originally, just like Spam. They came with a key glued to the bottom that fit onto a tab just under the top. You rolled a strip off the side of the can then removed the top, leaving about 3/8 " of the sausages exposed and you could pull them out.

Spam opened the same way.

Once they started selling up North. they had to come up with an idiot-proof way of opening them, so they went to aluminum and pull tabs.

And I always thought the steel cans easier to use

Veeny weenies, Spam, sardines, all good.
I draw the line at the deviled ham and potted meat though, meat shouldn't be paste.

Always a can of monkey pickles, potted meat, kipper snacks, mustard, and saltines in my pards Jeep. Gin and tonics or beer have washed it down for the last twenty years.



ETA, four cans in the pantry.

figured you to be a canned pecker eater.

My pantry just lost a can.

lol

They take 'meat paste' and extrude it into the shape of them little "Veeny weenies".

Pre chilled in the fridge I keep a few cans. Pop the top and wash out the slime....pour A-1 steak sauce into the can. Head back to the TV.

Actually they did it for you knuckle dragging mouth breathers down south because they knew once they printed DIRECTIONS on 'em you dumb [bleep] would starve to death trying to open the can!

Maybe you shouldnt even be eating the things with your yankee cholesterol being over 500, aint you one Butterfinger from OHHHHH SHCITTTT!!??

I'm not sure I'd brag about eating fish that's processed in China knowing what we know about their lack of concern for cleanliness and the enviornment while chit mouthing processed meat form America but if it makes you feel smarter and better than everyone else knock yourself out.....
