Clams with Turkey/Cranberry sausage?

Interest forums / Get Stuffed

Do you think this combo would work? I'm also having sea asparagus with it.

for me no clams are best fried or steamed or perhaps in clam chowder but the sausage combo just does not do it for me. maybe muscles, garlic wine and plain sausage would work. different taste and texture

Maybe you could serve the clams for an appetizer. I take it you are having turkey, cranberry and sausage? I wouldn't serve any seafood with that combination. I would just serve it with a salad and/or some other veggie dish.

There is indeed such a thing as turkey cranberry sausage. (I also found a couple of delis & butcher shops that make it.) I've never had it, but I'm assuming it is somewhat analogous to chicken apple sausage. I don't think clams go with it at all.

I'm going tae Clitheroe tomorrow for three nights wae my tent -and I have resisted calling it Clitland.

I'm looking forward tae visiting this shop

Well, it wasn't too bad, but not a primo choice. I also used hot chorizo. I think I will make the rest of my turkey cranberry sausge in a stir fry.

If you can make turkey with sausage and/or oyster stuffing, why not turkey-cranberry sausage with clams? Surely it depends on the cooking methods and the assembly and serving?

"The Cowburn family took over from the Cowman family in the late 1950’s. We are very proud to be one of the first butchers in the country to reinvent Quality British Sausages, which we have been producing since the1960’s. Where we have led others have followed."

Holy Cow, what a coincidence.

I had never heard of it before. Looks interesting. I would grill it and serve it sliced, in stuffing.

If we had a sausage shop near us I would weigh 500 pounds.

Glad to see that their sausages have no slurry slurp or goo.

We have a fabulous German sausage place. fortunately, it's a bit of an out-of-the-way drive for me, so I don't get there too often. The owner decided he really+ wanted to learn the trade so he spent 5 years in Germany getting a a master sausage-maker certificate. Every time I go in there, half the customers are speaking German. It's mostly German sausages, but they also have things like Mexican +and Spanish chorizo, and boerwors which is uncommon here. The plain old hot dogs are anything but plain old hot dogs.

Guess I need to make a pilgrimage.

Can you mail me some German sausages? It's not all that easy to find around here.

A turkey/cranberry sausage sounds absolutely delicious - so why bother with the clams. With something meaty, I'd serve with some mashed potato (or a potato and sweet potato mix) with steamed green vegetables. Save the clams for a seafood stew!

Their sausages are superb, Nutrax. Aside from all pork ones containing only outdoor-reared pork, they also do quite a few sausages with no preservatives which, at least in Britain, is quite unusual. (German wurst and Spanish Chorizo are popular here too - but the quality varies enormously, like sausages everywhere I suspect.)

Do stick around this time, Niner - if ye must visit the cesspit that is YC come back here for moments of sanity...
