195275 Thu May 30 21:47:56 -0700 2002 8 18 Manhattan 0 1042497 I am having a total craving for some Country Style Breakfast Sausage (imagine Park's sausage with ten times the flavor) like I used to get down south. Does anyone know any butchers in NYC who have this. I am also looking for some really tasty Irish style breakfast Black Pudding / Blood Sausage. Thu May 30 21:47:56 -0700 2002 0 The Rogue 1 1042523 There are really good breakfast sausages available at the USG on Saturdays. I don't remember the name of the purveyor, but they are also a good source of herb plants. Pat G. Fri May 31 07:02:38 -0700 2002 1042497 0 Pat Goldberg 2 1042533 High Hope Farms, aka the Blew family. They also have a great variety of hot peppers in season. And they're really nice.

Fri May 31 11:47:03 -0700 2002 1042533 0 the rogue 4 1042548 If you are willing to get up early, it is easy to find street parking. I leave the UWS at 8, and park either on Broadway or just off Broadway on 18th or 20th. Pat G.

I'll just have to bring along someone to sit in the car while I peruse and perambulate. Fri May 31 13:25:37 -0700 2002 1042548 0 the rogue 6 1042569 I'm up a 6 every day, so it would be no trouble. There may be parking spots in that stretch later in the day as well, but I have never gone later. The side streets I mentioned only allow parking on Saturday. There are some meters around as well. Fri May 31 17:12:26 -0700 2002 1042551 0 Pat Goldberg 3 1042603 I visited them today and picked up two pounds of their "country style" breakfast sausages. I was really bummed that the sausages had way too much sage in them. I have never been so oversaged before. I couldn't taste anything else. Hopefully just a bad batch. I was really amazed at the free lb of scrapple they included. I am not usually a scrapple fan but this tasted almost like what I wanted in the sausage. I also picked up a nice, full, already blooming heirloom green grape tomato plant so the trip wasn't in vain. (besides the tons of produce I picked up for a dinner party tonight.)
