Only question is.... "How did Brian eat his Sausage Sandwich?" "Did he hold it with two hands, and bite the middle like a little kid?" .... Or ...." Start at one end and force the contents until the last sausage end was thumb pushed in his mouth, and with a big burp, he licked his fingers clean?"
And thank you for the great images I have in my "Gotta have some" storage area of my brain!". hahahaahahaa Laughing
I'm laughing, too, Jimmy, as I didn't realize how I'd gone on and on about that sandwich! They cut them in half, too, prior to wrapping them in freezer paper Their hot sausage sandwich is the hot sausage patties so though it's pretty full of sausage, it's not as hard to eat as the shrimp is. Believe it or not, he usually only eats half of it, while yours truly is wolfing down my entire sandwich. Not yesterday, as he ate the whole thing!
As I predicted, we were both still too full for dinner. So for dinner, all we had was dessert! Brian had made brownies earlier in the day. He served me a big square of warm brownie with my favorite Creole Cream Cheese Ice Cream on top! Absolutely delicious!
The little convenient that makes the sandwiches is called River Fine Foods (it's on the river road, just like our house). Depending on what size sandwich they're making, they often cut off the round end of the loaf of French bread and often have other smaller pieces of bread, too, left from making sandwiches. They sell a big plastic bag of French bread pieces for $2.00! It's enough good-sized pieces of French bread to comfortably stuff a 13x9" pan full, which means it's perfect for a big pan of bread pudding. So if I want to make bread pudding, I just ask Brian to stop and pick me up a bag of bread ends and pieces and there you go. Pretty neat, no?! Can't beat it for two bucks!
I've gotten breakfast from there, too. They open at 7 a.m. and serve breakfast until 11 a.m., I think. For two scrambled eggs, two pieces of buttered toast, two sausage links and a huge serving of grits (it fills the big section in a divided styrofoam to-go container), they charge $2.79, I think. And yeah, Bug, you can watch them make all of that stuff, too. I asked for three eggs and three sausage patties instead of the links so mine was $3.29, I think. It was really early so he told me it would be 15 minutes until the grits were ready. I told him no problem, that I'd go sit in the car to wait, as I really wanted those hot grits. That sweet little guy -- he's the nephew of the two brothers who own the store -- actually came out to my car in the parking lot and told me when the grits were ready. My eyes were bigger than my stomach as I couldn't finish that huge breakfast. But boy, was it good!
