LINKS! They don't make the best gravy, but taste so much better than patties! If I were making sausage gravy, I would use the patties and have Dad eat them. Have links on the side for me. Too much of an answer for you? Miss you!
patties when in a breakfast sandwich because they fit better, but when served with pancakes or fried/scrambled eggs it MUST be the little links--I love to dip mine in leftover syrup from the pancakes! Divine! Or just dunking in ketchup is a good thing.
Now I must go out and BUY some.
Cruel survey for pregnant women!
Now--how about bacon--do you like it REALLY crispy or just a little bit crispy??
Hm - either really but they have to be the kind of links without the casing. I don't like the snap when you bite into them. Unless they are burnt crispy then it's ok.
If forced, at gunpoint, to eat sausages over bacon at breakfast time, I would choose links. In fact, breakfast sausages in the UK are almost (almost!) as good as bacon.
And in fact, is it not the casing, ergo the links, which define "sausages"? Can you rightly call some form of mystery meat scattered willy-nilly over your plate a sausage, when it is the casing that gives the sausage its form, its being, its essential sausissity?
I mean, think of it: if one were to play "hide the sausage", would one do that with some form of patty? (as opposed to a woman named Patty I once knew, who, as it turned out, was no so fond of playing "hide the sausage", and is now playing on the LPGA tour. But I digress.)
The answer, of course, is "no". (Go back and find the question. For god's sake, keep up.) Sausages ARE links, and links ARE sausages. And patties? They are ... just .. weird shit.
Neither. Ground sausage IN GRAVY, over biskits. YUM. But if I had to choose one of your choices, I'd definitely go with the links, cuz patties are just gross. Remind me of cardboard, lightly seasoned & saturated with grease. Always better to go with the patties. Plus, what Nilbo said. Some of us like to not only hide the sausage, but also play with it. And then go play on the LPGA tour. :)
Patties!

ReplyDeletePatties - I don't like the "casing" that is on most links.

ReplyDeleteLinks, for sure. Patties just don't look right on a breakfast plate.
ReplyDeletelinks are the best!
ReplyDeletePatties used to be links but I think more patties now!
ReplyDeleteNever thought about it. But I prefer the ones with less fat globules.
ReplyDeleteSpicy version of either, but a crisp patty is a real killer, equalled only by an upper end high meat content link.
ReplyDeleteSo vote patty
Mmmmm.... sausage! The real answer?
ReplyDeleteBOTH!
(Yum.)
Patties if Im having a breakfast sandwich, links if Im having it as a side dish to pancakes and eggs.

Prefer Bacon, but If I had to pick one..PATTIES!
ReplyDeleteall about the links, baby.
ReplyDeleteLinks
ReplyDeleteLinks. Or bacon ;)
ReplyDeleteLinks all the way1
ReplyDeleteDefinitely links. Preferably maple flavored. Mmmm! Are you using this survey for your study at the Bob Evans Institute??
ReplyDeleteHm - either really but they have to be the kind of links without the casing. I don't like the snap when you bite into them. Unless they are burnt crispy then it's ok.
ReplyDeletelinks!!!
ReplyDeletelinks
ReplyDeleteGreat site!
Links!!!
ReplyDeletepatties if i'm having a breakfast sandwich, links if i'm eating a plate of breakfast.
ReplyDeleteMaple links
ReplyDeleteOh, and we used to call those sausage links "porkies" in our family.
ReplyDeletePatties
ReplyDeleteLinks but only because we don't get patties in the Uk unless you buy breakfast from McDonalds. :)
ReplyDeletePatties.
ReplyDeletelinks because it's easier to spear them off of someone else's plate with your fork.
ReplyDeleteLinks. Definitely links. But only if maple syrup will also be served at the meal. If there will be no pancakes/waffles/French toast, then bacon.
ReplyDeletelinks!!!
ReplyDeletePatties!!!
ReplyDeletebacon
ReplyDeletelinks
ReplyDeletePATTIES. Links are some nasty sh*t. Except the "lil' smokies" - those are yummy.
ReplyDelete--links--
ReplyDeletePatties!
ReplyDeleteLinks, but I'd actually rather have crispy bacon.

There. Discussion closed.
Links all the way, my friend. Patties gross me out.
ReplyDeleteLink me up.
ReplyDeleteLinks, definitely.
ReplyDeletepatties.
ReplyDeleteand only turkey sausage.
The almighty LINK !!
ReplyDeleteSausage the way it's supposed to be !!
Patties, links gross me out...I don't eat anything stuffed in an intestine skin....EW!
ReplyDeleteStacie
Patties, absolutely. Tha casing on the links grossed me out.
ReplyDeletePatties. Links are too much like eating fingers. Blech.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading 'One Hot Mama", I'll never look at a link the same way again!!!! Very Funny!!!!
ReplyDelete57 comments on this post! I prefer bacon. But I do love sausage. Patties are better because of more effective grease retention and delivery.
ReplyDeleteNilbo? HA! That was some funny stuff. Thank you for that laugh. (actually one laugh and two guffaws)

ReplyDeleteI meant "always better to go with the links". Sorry, I was distracted and overly excited.
ReplyDeletePatties at home, because they fit nicely on biscuits!
ReplyDeleteBut I prefer links if I'm eating at Bob Evans or something...especially with pancakes. MMMMM....
patties
ReplyDeletelinks, most certainly!
ReplyDeleteNeither, meat is disgusting in any form.
