On the topic of snacks...

Something I'll be discussing on here quite often is food. There comes that time most days when it's after lunch but before dinner time, or maybe a little before bed, when it's time to have a snack. One of my favorite snack foods is, in all it's glory:

the Big Mama pickled sausage. I've eaten so many of these things I'm sure I'll have a heart attack any minute. But they're just so damn good. So my question is, is this a southern thing? On the few occasions that I've been out of the south I haven't thought to look for them, and it seems unhealthy enough to be a southern snack. It's a flurry of vinegary goodness, with enough snap to make it feel like you're eating actual food. I'll eat one of these over a Slim Jim anytime. But while this yellow vision of deliciousness is fairly easy to find, be sure and watch out for:

I love hot and spicy food, but holy shit these things are like eating a vinegar firebomb. They should come with a warning label on the package that says:

 Yes, it's very true. Who knew a sausage could give you an Oregon Trail style death? Speaking of cholera...

This impostor with a sexy pig on the package tastes like straight up dog food. And before you say anything, yes I have tried it. I needed the money. So in short, beware of possible death and impostors, and snack on!!
