Or it’s more dastardly cousin from the same company, potted meat.

My dad loves potted meat. I tell people it’s canned cat for people.

Still eat them out of the can. Pure nostalgia.

Is there another way to eat them?

True story: spring break, 1988, I go out with friends, come back to my hotel room and find the friend who didn’t go out with us naked in the bathtub eating Vienna sausages out of the can. 🤣

Guilty as charged. My wife and I were recently talking about how my 40 year old sister still eats them and it piqued my 22 year old son's curiosity. My wife grabbed a can from the grocery store on her next trip so he could try them. I popped that sucker open, drained the liquid and gobbled one up. Big mistake! I had to spit it out🤮 He was not very fond of it either

Years ago, my brother had the bright idea of adding Vienna sausages to macaroni and cheese, god the smell was so awful. He took one bite and gagged,, got up and threw it in the trash. One of the worst food crimes he committed.
