My name is Jeremy Harlan and I love Vienna sausages

[fuego]

I know how this scene goes. You stroll into the convenience store looking for your typical travel snacks: Teriyaki beef jerky, pepperoni pizza Combos and a Diet Dr. Pepper. And as you peruse the aisle just to make sure there's not a sweet treat that suits your fancy, you catch a glimpse of some canned goods: microwavable beef ravioli, potted meat, and Vienna Sausages.

"Bleh, Vienna sausages. Seriously? Who in the world eats that?"

Allow myself to introduce myself. My name is Jeremy Harlan and I do love me some Vienna Sausages. They are my perfect finger snack for long driving assignments. And in my humble opinion, they are a cornerstone of any quality convenience store...

I'm not to hip on Vienna sausages, but I do like potted meat on a sandwich with mayo, although it's been many, many years since I've had one. And I like Spam too, sliced, fried and on a sandwich with mustard, but it's been only a couple of years since I've that. :)

I can't remember ever having vienna sausages or potted meat, but I do remember Spam resting on top of Kraft lasagna. Wasn't a bad meal, though it's been many years since I've had it.

Some foods you just want to enjoy and not ask too many questins about it. If you like it you like it. I'm not going to destroy years of gastronomical enjoyment by adding "mental assent" into the picture ;)
