Hillshire Farm, Jewel, Roscoe Village, Chicago
I don’t normally see Hillshire Farm sausage in the stores much in Chicago so when I saw shelves and shelves of it at Jewel last month, I took notice. My dad has worked at Hillshire for something like 30 years so I have a preference for their brand. Not only did they have all this sausage in all different varieties, but they were buy one, get one free. I stocked up a bit.
The sausages on the bottom and on the right.. in the loop shape.. what do you call them? Growing up we called them ring bologna, but it doesn’t seem like people here know what that is. I also think I remember that when we were kids there was an actual metal piece that connected the two ends? We grilled one of the turkey ring bolognas recently and there wasn’t anything connecting them. I guess the suctioned plastic wrapper keeps it in a loop now.
The cheddarwurst. What I wouldn’t have given for those 5 years ago… although I did smuggle some cheddarwurst from Wisconsin to Brooklyn shortly after.
