POLL: Vienna Sausages!

SanPitch · Mar 30, 2020

This is a little weird but as I’m sitting here eating Vienna sausages I remember that like 90% of people I ask think they’re the most disgusting things ever but they are my personal favorite hunting snack! So let me know what y’all think about em...

Also I’m getting sick of all the Corona talk so I thought I’d post something fun

Reminds me of the old days, out hunting with my dad and around 10 am he’d start talking sausage and eggs. You guessed it. Vienna’s and hard boiled eggs. If I was hungry enough I would eat them but man what a gut bomb!

I have to agree they are definitely a gut bomb, especially paired with boiled eggs!

I love vienna wienies. A few years ago they came out with smoke flavor.

Quality campfood there. Cheezits are awesome too.

Heat them up over the campfire and drink the liquid too.

I actually crave them a couple times a year, but admittedly have weird taste buds. I also crave potted meat, pickled pig knuckles, sardines, anchovies, muskrat. Yea, weird stuff.

How about SPAM???? They have a new bacon flavor....pretty good

Phantom Hunter · Mar 30, 2020

I don’t eat things like weenies, spam, etc. I have quality meat in the freezer when I am hungry. Maybe if I did not have meat in the freezer or the health and ability to go get fresh meat I might, maybe, possibly could choke them down.

Castnshoot · Mar 30, 2020

My wife will not let’s me eat Vienna sausage or spam.

I love them, Dad always packed them on any fishing, hunting, or camping trip.

I do the same,,, and due to the fact that they are taboo makes them even more delicious!

I have a freezer full of quality meat as well, but I just like the weenies and spam, plus most of us don’t cook a steak on our five minute break from hiking, a can of sausages are much easier...

I love spam as well! To me they taste pretty much the same, they are probably made out of mostly the same stuff (which I would rather not know)haha

DeerMadness · Mar 30, 2020

I loved Vienna Sausages when I was young. Fried Spam, lettuce and tomato sandwiches too. Not crazy about them anymore.
The sickest looking stuff was green jello with Vienna sausages in it. I never tried it. Yuck

If I buy either, they may last in the cupboard for a day or two, then mysteriously disappear. Chucked in the trash.

ReinerDude · Mar 30, 2020

My grandpa “Paw” was a true outdoorsman and mountain man for sure. When me and my cousins were little, he would take us trout fishing and we always packed saltine crackers and Vienna sausages, he would usually go by Davenport’s general store where we got to pick out our own drink to take. Mine was always a chocolate Brownie drink, man I always felt sorry for poor people when we were sitting on the river bank having our picnic! I would give anything to have one of those fishing trips again! But I have to admit my taste have changed, I could probably still eat a Vienna, if I could quit thinking about the clear jelly they pack those things in (lol)

Same here... Except for mine disappears down my gullet!

My late dad had some cans on the shelf. I took them on my ‘19 elk hunt and enjoyed them cooked in with a pack of wild rice. Not bad 8-9 pm after hiking all day. Have also made special hunt or holiday occasions with his last cans of boiled peanuts and some of the last cans of pepper pot and scotch broth soup.

Stonefly · Mar 31, 2020

Vienna's, beanie weenies, spam, cracker n cheese. Perfect to toss in your fanny pack or backpack. Now with micro stoves, we toss in knorr spanish rice sides. Boil up some rice, toss in jalipino spam peices, and if it colder outside, boil up some coffee to go along with it. Might even have some fruit leather for desert.....

Right up there with Budweiser! ??

Give me sardines, double stacked, or in Louisiana hot sauce with club crackers. Not sure I've ever eaten vienna's. Sounds like they'd be good after sittin on the woodstove for a bit. Fried spam in a grilled cheese sammich hits the spot.

Zeke · Mar 31, 2020

To sit around at home and eat them, no thanks. But to throw them in the pack for a picnic while hunting, pretty darn easy and tasty!

It must be the altitude or the flora in the area that makes them so good because they're delicious at over 6000' with pines, sage and quakies in the area!

Runnoft · Mar 31, 2020

This is the only canned meat I’ll eat.

Blank · Mar 31, 2020

Spam in a foreskin! Yuck.

Paul_Crawford · Mar 31, 2020

DW, I knew that was coming!

Some people are born with innate gifts. Some are phenomenal painters, others musicians, still others the ability to put things together that taste phenomenal. My daughter in law is of the latter.

She can make the ordinary foods jump, and in this case it was SPAM sushi rolls. I am not lying. So amazingly good, I shamelessly beg her to make more. Touch of soy sauce and a dot of wasabe....dear god. It was unbeleivable. Rolled up in a sweet sticky rice and wrapped with pressed seaweed..... I need a moment. Excuse me.

I do like SPAM (something posing as meat) diced up with and scrambled with onions, eggs, and green, red, yellow or orange peppers. Also like it fried up on a sandwich.

Viennas...my pops put me onto those at an early age as well. Scrape the slime off and pop'em in. Yummy!

notdonhunting · Mar 31, 2020

I am good for a Vienna on the hunt . But if the temp gets below 30 that goo that they are preserved in gets stickier than a slimy nose clod you can't flick it off your fingers.

elkassassin · Mar 31, 2020

Hey PC?

How Many Budweiser's before they Taste Delicious?

dirtclod Az. · Apr 1, 2020

BEAKS and FEET!! 〽?

Paul_Crawford · Apr 1, 2020

I can't drink that many anymore! Gettin' old. pc

mlycrzy · Apr 1, 2020

We ate them a lot while out hunting years ago. My Dad called them “poodle peters”

Toro · Apr 2, 2020

Can never go wrong with a stash can of "Monkey Peters" in the huntin pack!!

oilcan · Apr 2, 2020

When I was a kid going with my dad VS,spam,pop tarts and a loaf of bread is all we needed for a weekend hunt. If we wanted something hot we would mix the VS with a can of chili
