Neshama’s “Breakfast Delight” Sausages

While we’re waiting for Mr. Slutzman to post on SausageFest (nudge, nudge), I thought I’d share my reaction to one variety we didn’t sample last week due to nut allergies on the tasting panel.

Neshama Gourmet’s “Breakfast Delight” — a sweet, chicken/turkey-based sausage — really ranks among my personal favorites of all the Kosher sausages I’ve been priviliged to try lately, Jeff’s included. It has the basic underlying flavor of a typical treif breakfast link (I believe sage is the predominant spice), which gave me a pleasant initial experience. Neshama’s use of discernable chunks of apple, walnut, and cranberry, though, take the breakfast sausage to a new level. Jimmy Dean & company are kid stuff compared to this mature link.

Breakfast Delight is delightful on its own, but was a real treat for me when coupled with some maple syrup. Plus, it’s far better nutritionally than the traditional alternative, and consumers — Kosher and non-Kosher alike — can be sure of the wholesome quality of the ingredients (no nitrates or preservatives).

To boot, my wife (the treifaphobic) who shudders at the thought of even Kosher products that taste like treif, enjoyed it.

Neshama products are currently available in Southern & Northern California, the greater New York area, the Southeast and the Southwest. They’re talking to a potential distributor in the Boston area, so it may not be long until we see them in these parts.
