Senior Cook
jD is already seasoned so...cook some and taste it.
Right, I didn't browse the site. I love Wegmans! I live a little west of you but recently traveled through NY and got to go in a Wegmans. I wish we had one here.Thanks and hopefully one of them will chime in on this so I can ask about the seasoning. Maybe I can get him to try a 7/11 Roll and see if he can pick the seasoning they use and or spices??
Thanks for the link but our local Wegmans sells a lot of standard Aussie stuff like Vegemite and Cadbury's etc They're also on the expensive side of things as well, compared to other International Food sites or Aussie food sites.
If you can find the type of sausage you like in Australia, it would be easy to make your own sausage which is not hard to do with some ground pork (pork mince.)Okay so one last question (I think) - the Aussie 7/11 rolls had a savory sort of taste to them,which is why I liked them so much. I am hopeless when it comes to using spices and seasonings so can you suggest some Seasonings that I could add (if needed) to the Jimmy Dean Sausage to get a Savory taste to the rolls?
I don't see the logic buying a premade seasoned sausage,
using ground pork in every scenario and making it your recipe, exactly how you want it
your going to experiment adding different seasonings to the JD anyway.
the more herbs you add the further you will drift from what you wanted in the first place.Because it is quick, easy and convenient when starting out and to try.
So long as you can get the ground pork which I discovered today, isn't that easy around here
That is up for grabs at the moment. Who knows, I might like the flavor of the JD Sausage as is without anything added
I geuss the point I'm trying make here is that I am experimenting with this. If using the JD pre seasoned sausage works for me then that is what I will use on a day to day basis so to speak. If it doesn't then I'll try to find the sausage around here and go from scratch and see what happens then. For me it is all hity and miss and amexpecting to make mistakes to begin with - trial and error but if JD stuff makes it easier for me, then that is a plus

Yep have quite a few options to play with. I have opted for the JD Sausage to start with and see what happens. Have the regular and maple varieties so I can mix and match if the taste of one doesn't work. I also bought some more seasoning/spices Thyme, Basil, Sage and need to get some Rosemary as well I think - anything that will give it a savory taste if the out of the box doesn't taste that great

Yeah I missed that first time around. Maple sausage would be awful I think.the more herbs you add the further you will drift from what you wanted in the first place.
maple sausage ? no way.
The Jimmy Dean's sausage wombat is looking at is available in 1/2 kg (1 lb) packages, so you could give the herb amounts for that amount of pork.My herb blend goes like this, but it’s not really possible to give you exact quantities because it depends on how much you are making, but as a guide, this mix goes from most to least:
Basil
Thyme
Marjoram
Oregano
Sage
Parsley
Garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste.
