My Pleasure.

Chicago is well known for it's hot dogs and polish sausage is no exception. The Maxwell Street style polish is a kosher polish with the two essentials: yellow mustard and grilled onions

If you are ever at Chicago's White Sox park, try one off one of those cart grills. It can't possibly get any better.

It is a religious experience.

And what is wrong with the good old fashioned British Banger?

We had some lovely ones this week..... made with organically reared 'outdoor' pork - actually tasted of meat, rather than rusk and water.

I've met a few Poles, even danced with one or two, and they all seem very nice to me (with one exception, but he was too fond of Polands' popular liquid export).

I don't really think this is an appropriate subject for a thread. It's not that I think there's anything wrong with sausage polishing, I just don't think it's something we need to talk about. If khandu or Spaw or Tweed wants to polish his sausage in the privacy of his own home that's his business and none of mine.

Okay, okay, I'll admit it, I've polished my sausage a few times. Hasn't everyone?   Well... everyone that has a sausage, that is. Sorta difficult to polish what you weren' t born with. But that doesn't mean you can't polish someone else's sausage. In fact, there are lots of people that don't have their own sausage that make good money polishing other people's sausages for them. Seems sorta lazy to me. Why would anyone want to give someone else $50.00 to polish their sausage when they could do it themselves for free?

Most polish sausage jobs do not have high gloss as a requirement. Anyone knows that different polish have different techniques -- polishing something hard requires different materials than polishing something soft. Think of steel and softwood for example. You can use powders, steel wool and so on, but for the very soft things like sausage, you might want a polishing cream, jelly, or lip gloss.

Traditional Pairings would be more likey to combine Polish Sausage Polishing with Prize Pierogi Pinchers like Marie.

I think the advantage of paying for a good polish is in the level of satisfaction. Sometimes things are best left to a pro but at other times they are not. If you are after a generally good polish then the pro is the way to go but for those times when only the best will do, no one can know the details of your sausage better than you.

a   nice, fast, yummy idea for dinner:
make some couscous (garlic and parmesan or mushroom flavor are good). Slice and saute some   kielbasa. Saute some veggies in   butter or olive oil (mushrooms, brocooli and zucchini make   a nice combo; add a bit of lemon juice when they're done). Serve veggies and sausage over the couscous. This is easy and convenient to make when camping, too.

As you know I rarely post outside of my own little area of the Mudcat Cafe but the title of this particular compendium of letters attracted my professional curiosity, given that I am much asked about polishing matters.

My principle concern, as a member of the medical profession, is to help people and I feel that Mr Bee-dubya-ell may well need my assistance here.

This means that you could potentially save $38.49 and, as Mr Catspaw49 so correctly states, nobody knows your sausage better that you do, nor can give it as fine a polishing job.

Probably the only thing better than doing the job yourself is to have a Chinese girl do it for you. Knew a guy with a priapic condition (for all you dumbasses, that's a boner that just won't quit) and he met this nice Chinese girl who was really interested in him. They were sitting on the couch and she was whispering in his ears, running her tongue around them, and things were progressing along. He asked her if she could help him with his "condition" and she said, "Oh yes. You need a wax job." He had his sausage polished before on many occasions but figured this was something especially Oriental and so he agreed.

She left the room and came back with two flat paddles, a ball of colored ribbons, and some handcuffs. Once again she ran her tongue around both his ears and then took down his pants. Without comment, she took his priapic member and laid it on one of the paddles, gently tying it in place with the ribbon. Again she kissed both cheeks and delicately ran her tongue around his ears. Then she handcuffed both hands behind his back and picked up the other paddle. She raised it high above her head and with a loud shriek, slapped it down on top of the other, flattening his willie between them. The guy's entire body stiffened as though it were undergoing an electrical shock......and the wax shot out of his ears.

One of the things I thank my first wife for (in addition to two wonderful children) is introducing me to the wonders of sausage polish. Now, everyone who has hung around in these neighborhoods knows there are several varieties. Smoked and fresh. I have considered trying to serve my sausage smoked, but for the life of me could not get past the mental imagery. So I stick to serving it fresh.

And I must say that the restraint I have seen in this thread is admirable, but not bound to last for long.

That's a nasty way of clearing out ear wax. I hear candles work as well.
I recieved a lovely 10" polished sausage for Christmas this year. It has a high resin polish, made of wood with a little grass skirt attached to the base of it, which is attached to a butt reciprocal (ash tray). I know I will have to give it a good polish often for it to retain it's high glossy appearance.
Yes I do hob-nob with the best and I have sick little friends. Along with the 10" highly polished wood sausage, I recieved a tray of 1" baby sausages that can be polished off in one bite.

Lubriderm lotion has been shown to be the best compound for sausage polishing. If the price for genuine Lubriderm seems a little steep, "generic" equivalents such as those available at Wal-Mart or Dollar General Stores will work fairly well.

Please ignore all suggestions about using steel wool, wire brushes or any other abrasive tool or substance for sausage polishing. And under no circumstance should one use any rotary buffing or grinding appliances including handrill-mounted buffing wheels, angle grinders or belt sanders. However, very satisfactory results have been obtained using oscillating or orbital sanders. Just be sure to remove the sandpaper first.

I wish to make clear that the Bruce above (Bee-dubya-ell) is Bruce, not Bruce. We are different people. I would not stoop to writing anything with double entendres on a serious thread. Bruce would. This thread is about sausage. I think it should be kept that way. Dirty remarks don't befit the members of Mudcat. That Bruce might contribute to lascivious postings, but not this Bruce. I am, quite frankly, disgusted. Bruce, I hope you heard that.

So, about this sausage polish and the fifty dollar polishers. Jeeze, ya gotta hand it to 'em. Different strokes for different folks. Speaking of which, I would think the sausage has to be stroked in a single direction to prevent blistering of the skin before it is inserted into the warmer for heating. Or have I misunderstood something here? Bruce will no doubt find something off-colour in what I have written. His mind works that way. Mine doesn't.

Bruce, you disgust me! (Now go ahead. Fight over which Bruce it was I was referring to...)

Actually, most sausages can be stroked in both directions without impairing the effectiveness of the warming process or affecting the spicy taste. Boiling is considered too severe, and can cause the sausage to burst, so simply warm gradually at a low simmer. Sausages can be frozen for safe-keeping. They will shrink a little from the cold, but that is no cause for alarm, because warming them again will restore them to full size.

My favourite method of Sausage Polishing (Saustabation?)
First you must lubricate your sausage with honey, then insert said sausage into a hole in a small shoe box, which has been pre-stocked with bumble bees.
The bumble bees should, of course, have one wing removed.
The rotary action of the one winged bumble bees encircling your sausage will give it a real good polishing in no time.

Brucie baby,
Size of box obviously depends on calibre of sausage. For some, a matchbox will do.
One must remove a wing from said bumble bee oneself. (It is vital to remove a wing from the SAME SIDE of each bee, or they will only collide and gum up the works.
Hole cutting is a matter of individual taste, its only a hobby fer kripes sake, not an exact science!!!!

The Ecologist magazine (www.theecologist.org, though it wasn't finding a server when I tried) had an article by Robert Kennedy Jr about some company - can't remember the name - which he seemed to think had impoverished American pig farmers, and which is now moving into Poland.

According to the article the company buys up the slaughterhouses so the farmers have no choice but one on where to get their pigs slaughtered, then drops the rate of pay, then acquires the farms so the farmers become low-waged workers instead of kulaks or self-employed farm owners.

The Laird o' Phelps spent Hogmanay declaring he was sober,
Counted his feet to prove the fact and found he had one foot over.
Mrs Carmichael had her fifth, looked at the job with repulsion,
Said to the midwife 'Take it away; I'm through with overproduction'.

It's no go the gossip column, it's no go the Ceilidh,
All we want is a mother's help and a sugar-stick for the baby.

Willie Murray cut his thumb, couldn't count the damage,
Took the hide of an Ayrshire cow and used it for a bandage.
His brother caught three hundred cran when the seas were lavish,
Threw the bleeders back in the sea and went upon the parish.

It's no go the Herring Board, it's no go the Bible,
All we want is a packet of fags when our hands are idle.

It's no go the picture palace, it's no go the stadium,
It's no go the country cot with a pot of pink geraniums,
It's no go the Government grants, it's no go the elections,
Sit on your arse for fifty years and hang your hat on a pension.

It's no go my honey love, it's no go my poppet;
Work your hands from day to day, the winds will blow the profit.
The glass is falling hour by hour, the glass will fall for ever,
But if you break the bloody glass you won't hold up the weather.
