\"Simms<\/a> A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about Garlic Summer Sausage<\/a> from one of my favorite meat processors, Klement’s of Milwaukee. \u00a0I enjoyed the product, and it was at a deeply discounted promotional price, which was even better. \u00a0 Today I was zipping through Aldi’s<\/a> for staples, and noticed they had a garlic summer sausage as well, and fairly inexpensive. \u00a0Their in-house brand name is Simms. \u00a0Many of their other processed meat products use the brand name of ParkView. Not sure why the distinction.<\/p>\n

This product is made for Aldi at Abbyland Foods, (USDA est. 1633) \u00a0in Little Chute, WI. \u00a0Little Chute is almost dead center of the state, halfway between Chippewa Falls and Wausau. \u00a0They kill cattle and hogs up there in Little Chute, make a gaggle of processed smoked and fresh meat, and still find time to run a truck stop, c-store, and a couple restaurants. \u00a0Abbyland started in 1977, and today has over 1000 employees and sends product all over the USA. \u00a0Google Earth pic of the plant, below.<\/p>\n

Besides the value pricing, what I liked about this sausage was the garlic was more pronounced than the Klement’s product, but they are both good. Either one of these brands are much better (and considerably cheaper) than Hickory Farms, scourge of every shopping mall in the land at this time of year. \u00a0Ingredients with the Simms are straightforward, \u00a0pork, beef, salt, and the list of the “less than 2% stuff.” \u00a0(Various flavorings and preservatives). It’s a fine grind in an artificial casing. Nice flavor and texture.<\/p>\n
