Wishek Sausage

[Ponyroper]

Did a blind taste test with 8 friends a couple of years ago to see if they preferred Napoleon or Wishek sausage. Both are excellent choices. Vote turned out to be a tie, 4-4. I broke the tie with a Napoleon vote but it was a hard pick.

I like cooking the ring sausage in the vacuum bags I freeze them in. Boil water/sausage...remove. No hassle clean-up! Wipe pot dry and put away

I Do that ice fishing. Dip a little water out of the lake, boil in the vacuum bag

but you don't fry it after you boil it? Frying it even a little really adds to the flavor.

If you don’t fry your sausage a little afterwards (IF it’s been primarily boiled), you can go to hell!!!

PS: I have never had Napoleon’s sausage. I’m going to try it. Langdon’s is good too, much prefer Stan’s. Hecla USED to kick ass! Not so much the last time I went.

Is the Hickory Hut & Langdon Meats the same business?

Hecla is no more. They closed up shop and auctioned off as much as they could.

Hickory Hut is closed for good and has been for a few years.... Langdon Locker is the processor that distributes their sausage all over.

The butcher shop in Hecla is gone. They sold all the equipment last spring. And the Mitchell Brothers are turning it into apartments.

My nephew likes the Napoleon sausage so much he had me ship him 20# when he was stationed in Alaska a few years ago.

BBQ'd garlic-ring sausage, zesty Italian potato slabs, seared onion slices, and an ice-cold Blue moon----I'm all in! Sign me up!!

Have heard rumors of someone purchasing it to reopen it in the past year but nothing in the works. I can definitely see it happening at some point as it's too nice of a building in and out just to sit vacant.
Lack of deer tags doesn't only affect us hunters sadly..

There are enough old German traditions spread around North Dakota that pretty much all locker plant and sausage shop sausage is GOOD.

Horseradish and/or sauerkrat can typically turn any bland kind of sausage into an edible treat imo (moreso needed for ppl's homemade experiments though and those who don't fry it at the end ..)

Homemade deer sausage is the best, but its nice to buy something different for a variety.
