They also carry Blue Ribbon Brand Summer Sausage. Since I like their bacon I bought it also.

Looking at a slice of each brand, I noticed that the Kroger sausage was finer in texture.
The Blue Ribbon has a courser grind and small chunks of fat were clearly visible.
The Kroger sausage has a smokier taste but like liquid smoke.

My preference is the Blue Ribbon. To my palate, it has a fuller taste and better texture.
Next time I go to Froberg Farms in Alvin I will stop at Greak's Smokehouse and try some of their summer sausage.
They are much more expensive than typical store brands, but everything else I have bought there is excellent.
This has been a fun thread. Thanks to all for contributing. :tiphat:
It was fun. The next one will be on Hog Head Cheese.

Re: Good Summer Sausage?

I stopped by Prasek's on the way home last Monday and bought some of their Beef Summer Sausage. I tried it tonight along side some Kroger brand. The Prasek's is good, but the Kroger's has a better overall flavor to me. I wouldn't turn down the Prasek's on a party tray. The hardest part tonight was having sausage, cheese and crackers come out even. Not to worry though, I still had some wine left!

Not only do they make great meat products, they're absolutely great people to do business with.

I'm sure they'd ship you their summer sausage.

I might add: Their stuff cost more, because they make quality stuff, not like big name corporations who turn out tasteless, texture-less, meat stuff for the masses.
Prasek's opened a huge store, restaurant and travel stop on I10 E west of Sealy. I stopped by in the middle of December to check them out. I wasn't in the buying mood since I had 60 lbs of venison sausage, plus whole backstraps, tenders and 20 lbs of chili meat from my deer prosessor in Schulenburg. I may stop this time a check out the restaurant and maybe get some summer sausage. I'm just about to chow down on some Kroger summer sausage, Jarlsberg cheese and crackers at my deer camp! LOL
Who do you use in Schulenburg? I use Willie Joe’s in High Hill just North of Schulenburg.
Same here. Been using Willie since the 90's. Still going there after Willie retired and sold to Paddy. Ever try the High Hill Wieners? They're delicious. Hoping to drop a or spike by Willie's this weekend.
The High Hill Wieners are delicious. We love their meat. Always fresh and delicious.

Mrs. Anygunanywhere went to school with Paddy's parents.

I'm heading to the ranch Sunday morning and try to bring down some more meat as well. I've got a few spikes that showed up on the game cameras. Lots of tender does left. Maybe even a small pig will show up.

Its going to be cold next week.

Good luck Mang!

Gonna have High Hill Wieners for lunch tomorrow. We're looking for a big spike that's at least a couple years old that showed up on the cameras. Most of the larger does look like they've been bred and we don't want to take a yearling doe. Hope you're successful with your hunt. BTW what county do you hunt? This weekend and Monday AM are the last times we can get up to the lease (Comal County). Hope we'll be stopping by Willie Joe's, but we'll honk when we pass if we don't.

I hope you enjoy it! I am usually loathe to recommend food/restaurants etc. to folks. Invariably they say something happens that disappoints them.

I heard that Sprouts deli had some but not one close to me to see.
No hot or spicy just good tasting.

Thanks to all.
You might try Kroger's Private Selection brand Beef Summer Sausage. I used to buy Hickory Farms but it's too difficult to find and the Kroger brand is similar. They have one that's plain beef and one that's beef and garlic. Their Private Selection crackers are pretty good also; I like the sesame.
