Merguez in Baltimore? + Baltimore Sausage tour

[artie_effim]

Hi board. I'm planning a backyard sausage tour of Baltimore, so far I've got:

roma
binkerts
Mastellone
Trinacria
Ostrowski’s

I'm looking for some merguez - also any other suggestions on Baltimore made sausage?

Is the Polish place at the south end of Broadway Market still there? They have, or had, a good selection of E. European items. Also, suggest butchers generally at Lexington although I don't have specifics. What about the bodegas and tortillerias in Fells Point for chorizo. And for entirely Baltimore-made sausage, how about Neopol at Belvedere Square with very tasty smoked sausages.

Sophia's is still there (at the south end of the north building).

Springfield Farms used to have a really great merguez, but the last time i bought it they had switched suppliers -- it was thicker and much more greasy -- in fact, it was a nightmare to clean up after.

I was getting it from Meatcrafters at the JFX Market, but they elected not to return this year.

I think Wegman's carries Dartagnan merguez.

If you didn't know, there are two Ostrowski's. The one on S Washington St is, I'm fairly sure, the original. The one on Bank St sells its sausages to grocery stores. If you're so inclined, I'd be very interested to learn the results of a taste test between the two.

I'd be curious too, I have bought sausage from the Bank Street location but not the other one.

We're just the opposite. It may be time for a sausage taste-off to go along with a scrapple smackdown!

How is Polock Johnny's not on this list? That's the first thing that came to mind when I read the topic. Go there.
