A Quest For Sausage...

**ketchupnmustard** · 12-04-2008, 01:45 PM

Like a lot of people, I have some family & friends coming in for the holidays. I have some some new recipes that I would like to try during this time. One is a chili recipe that calls for mutton/lamb meat. The others are a few cajun recipes that call for andouille (sp?)sausage.

You can get lamb meat at a few stores around here (Des Moines) but I notice that it all seems to come from New Zealand. Is there a place where I could get some lamb that is from a farm somewhere a little closer than a 20 hour plane ride from Kiwi-country?

Does anyone know of a local place that sells andouille sausage?

Oh man, this is going to a bad place.

a thread about sheep & sausage ... what could possibly go wrong?

Too bad they closed the mustard thread, but I think this has a shot at succeeding it. To answer your question ketchupnmustard, I have no idea.

I thought this thread was going to be from a Hawkeye fan posting from the Metrodome.

Didn't read the post. But I am pretty sure that's what she said.

ok, lets break this down into steps
1) we know there are sheep in Iowa
2) does anyone know any sheep not romantically attached to a hawk fan?
3) does anyone know a butcher willing to grind up said sheep?

I know two. Molly and Polly. However...

- They belong to me
- I will not allow the grinding up of Molly and Polly
- They're inflatable
