The Best of the Wurst

 

 

Ladies and gentlemen . . . welcome to . . . the wiener fest. 

That’s right . . . because this blog doesn’t have enough dick jokes.

This . . . is The Best of the Wurst:  annual sausage festival in Hermann, Missouri.  Meat shops from all over Missouri and Illinois show off all the different kinds of sausage they make; you try, you buy; and of course, there’s a competition to see whose wurst is best.  Six bucks for all the wieners you want to taste in your mouth; eleven vendors; two-hundred twenty-three different varieties.  More meat than the average person can handle.  In the mouth.

Really had you guys goin’ there, with all that “on a break from meat” stuff, didn’t I?           

Where's the F@#$%&g Meat?!?!

This is a delicious marinated vegetable salad dressed with olive oil, white wine vinegar, Italian seasonings, Dijon mustard, garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper.  No cooking necessary!  It’s great to serve as a side dish at an afternoon barbecue, but doesn’t keep well, so it works best if you have a large group of people who can eat it all at once.  I however don’t have that luxury; this has been my lunch for the past week.
