I haven't had Vienna sausages in forever, so I thought I'd google. I'm just not feeling it, although I have been off most sausages unless grilled to within an inch of their former lives. I don't know why that is. Maybe nitrites.
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Potted or deviled meat has an unfortunate paste-like texture and way too much salt. Like cheap bologna, it's a way to use up otherwise difficult-to-sell parts such as hearts and lights (lungs).
Thankfully, my father was a sardines-and-crackers person.

The best part of Vienna sausages is the gelatin they're packed in. They're nice to have around for emergencies because you don't need a can opener to get to them, or utensils, or heat.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Lack of Vienna sausage emergency?

That's probably when they are most effective.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
They just did the rock throwing story on the CBS Evening News. The story is even more ridiculous than what was reported by the AP. They made the little girl wear a home confinement thing on her ankle for a month. And the mayor of Fresno is frelling Alan Autry, who played Bubba on In the Heat of the Night.
Apparently, the police also called in helicopters to help subdue her. Maybe she's a potential.

Now tagless for your comfort.
The choices were: get elected; win the lottery; seize power. Chris answered, "Seize Power--that's right, right Mommy."
He was really paying attention last November, wasn't he? I loves me some Chris. Kid's smarter than a lot of adults I know.
I gave Owen some vienna sausage-like things that they make for toddlers. He hated them. He prefers shaved, smoked, honey maple ham. We tend to not do potted meat products at our house, but I grew up in the presence of both vienna sausages AND spam (or Treat, whichever was on sale).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Has anyone ever had pigeon? What does it taste like?
Tommyrot, fire on the Purple Line. It's well south of you, but service might still be affected.
Thanks. I missed your warning, but it didn't affect me too much - maybe a five minute delay.

I have a cousin who had all these very precise ideas of how she was feeding her son. I think the first off-list food he got his hands on (he was maybe 18 months) was prosciutto. She tossed out many of her rules after seeing his glee at stuffing a fistful of that into his mouth.

Chicken. Smoked chicken.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I haven't had vienna sausages in forever, but I did really like them as a kid. That and cold hot dogs, which are pretty much the same thing, no?
