  • “I’ll get some sausage, get the sausages done either like an andewy sausage or like a cajun sausage, because I like my sausages spicy when it comes to deer sausage.” – AB3
  • “If you really want to set off a summer sausage, you slice that bad boy up into strips. It takes a little bit of time, depending on how thick your summer sausage roll is. But, you slice that bad boy into strips, put it on the grill.” – AB3
