Why do Americans call both links and patties sausages? They're so different.
Because they're both sausage, in English, with a bit of room for perception.
Historically, not every sausage was in a casing. But every sausage was prepared and seasoned, with preservation being a, if not the main goal
While most sausages across the world will be cased, there's plenty of variants that aren't. Most of those variants tend to be from very rural foodways, where preservation was meant to be short term and flavor a higher priority.
Here in the states, a lot of "country sausages" are ground or minced meats with salt, herbs, and spices not meant for long term keeping because they originated with offcuts. You'd make a pile of pork that wasn't big enough to do anything with for sale or storage by itself, and mince it, throw in your flavorings and cook it the same day or within a week or so if you had an icebox.
Patties come from that background. The "casing" still exists, but it's not edible. It's wrappers, cloths, or other items to shape the lump of processed meat.
Thanks, that makes it make more sense for me.
we usually specify link sausage as link sausage, and the round ones are just sausage patties, sausage or pork sausage where i'm from. Like on diner menus.
How do you call them?
Sausages and patties/burgers.
It always trips me up in menus when I see sausage and it isn't something encased in skin.
ah, well i mean you can clearly see that it's a patty so that just seems superfluous here. It might be veggie sausage that's why i specified the type.
'sausage' could mean anything here from a hot dog to a bratwurst to a chorizo to breakfast sausage to a pile of ground meat with spice; it's really just ground meat, not in a specific style or casing. Although i think most folks would think of a fancy hot dog if you just said 'i ate a sausage' not breakfast pork link.
I could be wrong though it's a big country, lot of opinions and standards.
Oh yes, no confusion here. It's just I've finally had an opportunity to ask. Thanks, BTW.
I am chuffed to contribute to international cultural awareness <3
Regional, what I know "sausage" as is a link/brat and patties are mostly "breakfast sausage"; beyond that it starts to become more specific like chorizo or breakfast sausages (links) etc.
You should put your sword-thingies in all of your sandwiches.
I am not gonna lie, some look so good (except the Walmart falafel one) that it makes me think you stole them from a culinary blog!
You know, like a kind of watermark/signature
that's so sweet :) All of the food I post is made by me either for the family i support or for myself.
I usually only use the swords or picks for structural support but occasionally i'll put them in a triangle sandwich if the bread is toasted because it feels fancy!
You don't need to defend it. It sounds and looks awesome. Though, to be fair... I'm fuckin' starving rn.
Thank you :) I hope you found something tasty!
I'd take out the mayo and add hot sauce, but otherwise this sounds/looks divine, no need to defend. I just don't like mayo and do like hot sauce lol.
thank you!!!
Or add hot sauce to the mayo
good call
ULTIMATE breakfast! Looks absokutely delicious
thank you so much βΊοΈ
I would have tucked the egg in a little more (or eaten it first as a warm-up) but I would GLADLY eat something like that. It's a big sammich. Sometimes you gotta accept that proportions of what's inside won't allow you to eat without getting your hands dirty, and that's just fine!
If you need a fork and knife to eat it, is it still a sandwich?
In what world does that require a knife and fork? Wrap tightly in butcher paper, cut in half, then wrap in foil and you have a bodega style breakfast sandwich.
my friend just picked it up and ate it i'm careful not to overdo it!
i can attest that this was eaten by hand, carefully!
Yes; how it is eaten isn't the defining attribute of a sandwich. Open faced roast beef with au jus counts. Monte Cristo counts. Croque Monsieur/Madame counts.
Besides, that bagel sandwich can be eaten by hand. There is no drippy sauce.
