Loved this thread. I am normally a lurker but this thread was great - 'course it cost me a couple of bucks, hope that Cajun grub is tasty. I live in Plano - am willing to drive - love country meat markets, small Mom and Pops that do it right - please feel free to point out where I can go next. A bit off topic, I'm looking for calf fries - any recommendations?
Best Regards, 686Tech, (in my family, my wife is the Life Member! ;-}

I don't think there's any really good stuff in any supermarket in east tex. Some buddies make really great sausage. I find really good stuff in little corner marts in LA thouh.

Try V&V available at HEB's and Brookshire Brothers. I can't find their website but I did last week.

The last time I had those were in a restaurant near Sulphur Oklahoma. The people who took me to dinner thought they were tricking me into eating them. After I ate some and said that I liked them they asked me if I knew what they were.

I am sure they are served at some restaurants, but I haven't seen them in Texas. There used to be a place you could buy them frozen, but I can't find the website.

I did find some "buffalo fries". They would be a nice treat for your next dinner party: http://www.exoticmeatsandmore.com/buffa ... sters.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I bought some Chappel Hill Jalapeno sausage to bring to a birthday party and the guests were impressed. "Chappel Hill! That's what I was brought up on."

I found some Chappel Hill Original at Target last weekend. It was very good.

Thanks for the tip!

Chappel Hill does give V&V competition, especially since Chappel Hill has a variety of choices. That's the two I buy when I am out of deer sausage. I know we're talking commercial makers, but the best sausage is the stuff I get from Willie Joe Svetlik in High Hill from my deer. 60% veneison/40% pork with supreme seasoning and natually smoked. YUM YUM. He does sell his own brand of sausage as well which I assume is seasoned like the deer sausage. His High Hill Wieners (hot dogs) are worth a try as well. High Hill is near Schulenburg.

You can buy them at the Fiesta in Richardson located at Coit/Springvalley. Ask for criadillas del toro (a bit more polite than asking for huevos del toro) or look in the fresh beef section in the back of the store.

Another vote for Holmes Smokehouse. A close second is Tallent's in Riverside right outside of Huntsville.

Just my .02,

The best boudain I ever had was at:
The Best Stop Supermarket in Scott, LA
615 Hwy 93 N.
Scott, LA 70583

I lived in Brusly LA for a few years. Best stop is rated #1 in LA, and it's really really good. But the best I've had was from a small place in Plaquemine named Bergeron's.
The best Boudin balls I've had came from a gas station in Port Allen.

Stop in to Dozier's and grab some when you are just west of Katy/Houston. Mighty tasty!!!

I'm just glad I could help! I bought some Chappel Hill Sausage Jalepeno for my Memorial Day cookout and the wife, who normally doesn't enjoy spicy foods, really enjoyed it. Now if I can just get her to eat it on a slice of bread with some mustard on it my job will be complete! She still slices it up and dips it in bbq sauce!

Anybody know the name of the meat market in Bellville?

We like Chappell Hill sausage.
