Hi Mamas,
I've been quiet for a while. Mostly, have been eating sausage. This sausage in particular. I've posed my title of this post in question form, but in truth I already know the answer: yessiree bob.
We're having a Niman Ranch moment in our household. First came the gold standard - the apple gouda pictured above. When I first tried a bit, which had been purchased for Master K, I couldn't believe my mouth and proceeded to distract my child until I could switch out his remaining deliciousness with some old turkey hot dog, just so I could finish it off. Bad, bad mommy!
The next thing was to test it out on the sausage and bacon maestro, Mister A. I doubted he would react as I had, since he is used to farm-fresh Scottish goodness, and in fact frequently laments the quality of the meat he eats States-side. But instead, he declared: "This is the best sausage I've ever had."
Mama H is similarly a fan of this brand, and in fact her parents live near the Niman Ranch in California. Nirvana!! But please, share this information judiciously: I've already experienced two Whole Foods outages of this particular item. Word is spreading and the supply can't keep up. But this can lead to good things, too. I was forced to branch out to their Chipotle Cheddar flavor this past weekend, and really I have to say it made the homemade pizza positively ethereal.
Since the weather has been so lousy lately (excluding yesterday's burst of Spring), really ya gotta turn to your food for joy. Mama A, if only Niman made a vegan sausage...it would be so good we might all convert from our carnivorous ways. But for now, the happy pigs and chickens of Niman Ranch have found their #1 fan.
