Sausages?

[SobaAddict70]

Does anyone know of a place in Manhattan whereby one can pick up fresh uncooked sausages? I'm looking for garlic-heavy pork sausages in particular. Italian or Spanish style if possible.

thx,

Two of my favorite sausage places in Manhattan are:

Faicco's Pork Store, 260 Bleecker. In particular the pork/cheese/parsley sausage is great.

Salumeria Biellese, 9th avenue between 28th

Salumeria Biellese has so many different kinds of home made sausages, and the selection changes daily. They supply many high end restaurants...

Couple of good spots on/off Bleeker:

Faicco Pork Store

260 Bleeker

Florence Prime Meats

5 Jones Street

My favorite though is this place on the corner of 8th Avenue and 29th. They make all kinds of homeade sausage and I believe you can get some Gunciale there if you need it. The name slips by me. starts with a B.

oops just saw someone beat me to the post ....Salumeria Biellese is on 8th ave though for sure.

I haven't been there in a while, but Biellese rates a visit. You might be able to get a large fat (2" diameter?) fresh garlic sausage (saucisse a l'ail) there. It's good for cooking with beans.

I don't have a grill at home, so would broiling be an acceptable alternative?

hopefully...

thx all,

Broiling, pan-frying, poaching* all work fine. Just remember to prick the sausages all over first so they won't explode.

*mmmmmm -- French garlic saucisson poached in red wine, then wrapped in puff pastry and baked. Heaven, especially served with good mustard and cornichons.
