Welcome to the Wisconsin Chilehead Faction. > >Jeff it's like whipped cream, you know...people rant and rave about whipped cream regardless if it's from a can or coolwhip...people just love the stuff. But feed one of those folks some whipped cream that's just been made...fresh cream, sugar, pure vanilla, maybe a touch of cinnamon or nutmeg in it as well, whipped to where it's so light and smooth it's like sex in a spoon, baby...and then ask them about coolwhip... Hence, it ain't that J-ville brats are bad per se, just that i was "raised" on brats that were made by a vendor in the small town of Bucyrus, Ohio...visited family up there every summer...Crawford County fair...brats brats brats...*nothing* like prepackaged stuff...when a relative would come to visit the redneck family in mississippi (that was me and mine), the message would be: "look forward to seeing you! but don't forget the brats"...and a case would show up with Uncle and Auntie, or whomever...brats earned one room and board for quite some time... anywho, right now i'm just so damned hungry that i may slip slide my way to the grocery and buy whatever sausage i find...which will probably be J-ville brats <g>... -- Peace, Hendrix, and Chiles.......and brats, baby, don't forget the brats...
