Specialty Sausage Sampler: Congratulations Toby!

Greetings carnivores!  This week we’re offering a treat right up your alley: a 9lb specialty sausage sampler!

Congratulations Toby!
Toby Corn’s comment has been picked at random, so a sampler packed with sausagey goodness is heading his way!  Toby said he was most interested in trying the pheasant sausage, calling it “a true winter gift”.  Of course, once he’s chomped his way through the pheasant, there’s still wild boar sausage, rabbit sausage, etc etc etc…this sampler is a gift that keeps on giving.

Almost as exciting (if not more) is that Toby is also now welcome to enter our upcoming Ridiculously Delicious Challenge!

    Which one? Decisions decision. It would be a toss up between the lamb and the venison with blueberries. Blueberries would probably win.

    I would sell my soul for sausages! ;-) I am torn between the Venison Sausage with Merlot & Blueberries and the Wild Boar Sausage with Cranberries & Shiraz.

    Being a resident of Oklahoma, I should pick Buffalo Sausage with Chipotle Chilies, but the Lamb Merguez has me very curious!

    Joanna says:

    They all sound amazing, but I know my husband would love the Buffalo with Chipotle. The Elk would be my choice!

    Eric says:

    How to choose just one? If I had to choose, I’d probably pick the pheasant with cognac. We’re both huge cognac fans, and I haven’t had pheasant in years – not since our cat brought one home and left it by the back door.

    True story, that. (It was a LONG time ago!)

    They all sound amazing. I think the elk with pear and port is intriguing me the most this morning.

    Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen says:

    Oh my GOSH, I want those sausages. Perhaps it is my recent marathon viewing of Man v. Food Carnivore Chronicles…but I want them NOW!

    I saw venison and my mouth started to water. I think I would die to try the Venison with Blueberries…but both of the Wild Boar sausages sound delicious…and foi gras? I mean. Really.

    Definitely the buffalot sausage, but they all sound divine.

    Leela says:

    I’m always tempted to buy this sampler pack, and if I don’t win I’m guessing I will purchase it someday soon. I really want to try those Duck Sausages with Foie Gras & Sauterne Wine.

    Dawn says:

    really? I am drooling already.

    The Food Hunter says:

    Oh My…what a tough decision. I’m a huge Wild Boar fan so the one with the boar, garlic and marsala would probably be my first choice…Elk with pear and port my second. What a great giveaway!

    serena @bigapplenosh says:

    Oh WOW, they all sound so good! I would be all over the Duck Sausage with Foie Gras & Sauterne Wine!

    David Millar says:

    The buffalo sausage with chipotle sounds like it would be amazing to try – I love chipotle flavors!

  14. 14
    Katie says:

    Mmmmm smoked duck with apple brandy sounds incredible. Actually they all sound incredible. Great giveaway!

  15. 15
    Ginny says:

    Wow! I’m definitely all about trying the wild boar!

  16. 16
    Leah says:

    I’d be most interested to try the Duck with orange liquor, though the Wild Boar with roasted garlic & Marsala would likely be my favorite.

  17. 17
    Nicole O. says:

    The smoked duck sausage with apple brandy sounds intriguing–I’ve never seen, let alone eaten, duck sausage before!

    I’d also be interested in seeing how strong the pear flavor would be in the elk sausage.

    wild boar with garlic and marsala for me………

    Wow! I don’t know if I can choose!! But the Venison with Blueberries sounds divine.

    Cooking with Kait says:

    I love all the sausages, but if I had to narrow it down, I would say I’m most excited about is the Wild Boar with Roasted Garlic & Marsala.

  23. 23
    Joe Russo says:

    Wow…I don’t know where to begin with all of those sausages but if I had to choose one, I would go with the En Croute Garlic Sausage. LOVE my garlic and would be something I might have to enjoy alone :)

    sophia says:

    I’d love the Elk with Pear & Port Wine ….or the Wild Boar Sausage with Cranberries & Shiraz ….gosh everything is so exotic and mouth-watering!

  25. 25
    Jen@Twenty-Something and Starving says:

    Though it’s a really tough call – I think the Buffalo Sausage with Chipotle Chiles is the one I am most interested to try. I’m a sucker for chipotles! That venison blueberry one is definitely a close second though!!

  26. 26
    Kristin M. says:

    Oh yum… these all sound delicious! For me, it’d be between the Lamb Merguez and the Venison with Red Wine & Demi Glace. Picking only one, I’d be most excited for the Lamb!

  27. 27
    Kellie @ Blackboard Kitchen says:

    Holy sausages. Wild Boar with roasted garlic and marsala, please! Sounds tasty. :)

    Darryl Pierce says:

    Sausage is great. This is a fact.

    The Cheap Gourmet says:

    After spending a year living in the Rocky Mountains, I’ll have to go with the Buffalo Sausage with Chipotle. I haven’t had access to quality buffalo in nearly 5 years and I’m seriously craving it! However, the Lamb Merquez is also very intriguing!

  30. 30
    Margarert @ Savory Sweet Living says:

    I just bought some duck sausage at the farmers’ market and it was delicious. So I would love to try your special varieties of duck sausages. I also would love to taste the elk as I never had it before.

    Grace Piper says:

    Pick me, please pick me! :) I would love to throw a 12 course tasting menu and then write it up on my blog.
    This list would blow my fellow NYC foodbloggers minds.

    Frish says:

    My husband (www.athoughtforfood.net) doesn’t eat meat, and while everything he makes for for me is delicious, I sometimes feel there is something lacking.
    I am especially excited by the Duck with Foie Gras & Sauterne Wine. There is nothing that I love more than some fine Foie Gras :)

  35. 35
    Niki says:

    Definitely the Elk with pear and port wine. They all sound good, though, and inspire me to try some new combinations in my own sausage-making experiments.

  36. 36
    Amy says:

    Wow, all of them sound delicious! I really want to try all of them. If I have to just pick one, the Duck Sausage with Foie Gras & Sauterne Wine will be the winner! :)

    Jasper E. Preston says:

    I am super eager about all of the varieties, I just had a mini freak out when i saw this. I LOVE MEAT!
    I have a very sensitive palette and appreciate quality foods more than most people. only problem is I’m a college student and can not afford those foods. Looking foward to trying these.
    I’m hungry now.

    Angela FRS says:

    I would have to go with the Duck Sausage with Orange, or the Lamb Merguez…it’s quite the tough call, really.

    Jim Schifeling says:

    the great thing about game is im the only one in my house that will eat it. ALL FOR ME!

    Rachel R. says:

    Wow!!! What a sampler…I would love to try the lamb sausage. MMMM

  46. 46
    Amanda Makulec says:

    Would love to try the Buffalo Sausage with Chipotle Chilies, given my affinity for bison burgers & love of anything spicy! Others sounds more adventurous, though, and delicious!

  47. 47
    Donna says:

    hmmm…. wild Boar with cranberreis and shiraz sounds wonderful. thinking a stuffed bread recipe maybe even with a glaze….

  48. 48
    John Williams says:

    That sounds absolutely awesome!!…… These would go great on the grill down here in Baton Rouge for an LSU Tiger Tailgate!!!

    Thanks for the opportunity, and I’ll repost this link on FB.

    Matt Mills says:

    I’m thinking venison and then I could do something with the ghost peppers I bought from you guys. Mmmm

    Mark H says:

    Sausages Yum! Sounds like my newest Thanksgiving Day idea

  52. 52
    Brian @ A Thought For Food says:

    I’m doing this for my husband… the meat eater ;-) I’d say the duck sausage… sounds so decadent. I’d even give it a try.

  53. 53
    Michele Wilson says:

    No problem deciding… Duck Sausage with Foie Gras & Sauterne Wine sounds perfect.

  54. 54
    Anamaris Cousins Price says:

    Ok, I can’t help myself…again. I want a plate with all of these babies perfectly lined up. But if I MUST discriminate,I will HAVE to pick 2. Garson, I’ll have some of the Duck with Foie AND a separate order of the Wild Boar with Cranberries, si vous ples e merci!

    Athena says:

    Sausage, sausage…I want sausage! I love a good venison sausage, but I would love to try the Wild Boar Sausage with Cranberries & Shiraz. Yummy!

  56. 56
    Kathleen Newell says:

    They all caught my eye (or appetite), but being from a deer hunting family, the venison with Merlot and blueberries is the one I’d try first… serve with homemade buttermilk pancakes at a family brunch… yummmmmm.

  57. 57
    Sarah Trevino ~ Chefwife says:

    Ohhhh duck sausage….and elk, and venison. I can’t decide. It all sounds so wonderful! PICK ME! I will be eternally gratefull *wink*

  58. 58
    Jodi Carlini says:

    If I had to choose just one, I’d go with the Buffalo Sausage with Chipotle Chilies. I love a bit of spice to my meat. Probably the Elk with pear and port wine would be my second choice.

    (My first choice would be “kanga bangas”, if you can get your hands on kangaroo sausages. That shouldn’t surprise anyone at Marx Foods :)

    Liz Jefferys says:

    Each one of those sirens whispers sweet nothings promising a nosh-a-licious encounter.

    But today, the Lamb Merguez sings loudest. Richly, superbly, exotic. Hinting at desert climates. Just enough to chase the chill from my Northwest morning. Fluffy couscous, tzatiki sauce to cool the fire of chilis and you really don’t need anything else.

    Toby Corn says:

    There’s a true winter gift – Pheasant sausage!

    Allyson says:

    WOW! I just want to start and say how impressed and hungry I am after scouring your website! Cannot wait to order.

    If I could try any of the sausage from the sampler, the one that would get me most excited would be the pheasant with cognac. This was just a random choice because I would fall out of my seat if I could try any of them! All of the combinations sound delicious. I love cognac, I never had pheasant but eat and enjoy any and everything meat. These sampler combos make all right in the world :)

  63. 63
    Erin @ EKat's Kitchen says:

    I would so love to win!!! I really really really want to try them all, and had a really tough time picking a “most wanted” variety between the buffalo w/ chipotle and the elk w/ pear & port, but ultimately, I love elk the most, so that’s my #1 pick! Hope you choose me so I can try them all :)

    kaffirgirl says:

    Wow, sausage heaven!!! Duck and buffalo sausage sound so good!

    sheila says:

    The pheasant with cognac sounds so intriguing. The buffalo with chipotle sounds divine. Although the Wild Boar Sausage with Cranberries and Shiraz sounds tempting; which do I pick? I would love to win the sampler pack — for some reason eating sausage has made me feel stronger physically, which helps.

  66. 66
    Kirsten Kulek says:

    Definitely excited about the duck sausage with apple brandy! It’s so different than the german style sausage that I’m used to eating and cooking with. Would have to design an entire menu just to compliment all that flavor!
