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.

It was fun. The next one will be on Hog Head Cheese.

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!

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.

There is a Sprout's in Rowlett. Not real close to Cash, but if your out and about... I have never shopped there because I heard they are posted. I have also heard they have very good produce and meats though.

The only one I was ever in is on 544 and all I saw was the blue alcohol sign, I may have misses others but did not see them.
