 Really wanted to like this, but sadly disappointed.May 17, 2011
By Coraline Canti
I have a regular monthly subscription to another brand of summer sausage available on Amazon. It's very popular with friends and family for snacking, and when the regular brand wasn't available, I purchased this one for a temporary replacement. I read through the reviews and felt this would do the trick until the regular stuff was available again.
Unfortunately, the only thing the two seem to have in common is general shape and color. While the flavor isn't unpleasant, the texture leaves a lot to be desired. It's both fibrous and greasy, with globs/pockets of fat and strings of what I can only imagine to be muscle or gristle of some kind. They're like white threads, and the mouthfeel of the sliced product is very unappetizing.
In reading through the reviews again, I saw one where the reviewer mentioned this summer sausage had potential when heated/cooked, so I sliced it thinly and tried both panfrying and microwaving it. This does improve the texture and allows the extra fat to render out (if you're microwaving, be sure to sit the pieces on top of paper towels, and don't let it go too long without checking ... LOTS of fat drains out of the meat!). After it's been heated/cooked, the product can be enjoyed for its flavor without the unpleasant texture.
If our regular choice becomes unavailable again at some point, we'll just do without or look for something in a local grocery store. We won't be purchasing this product again.

Smoky, Tasty, BaconyOct 19, 2009
By N. F. Martin
I mean to give this product four stars, though the interface is giving me a little trouble. I'm very fond of it. I can't have bacon in my household, and this sausage, while not replicating the texture of bacon, does suggest that smoky savory flavor when sliced thin and fried or microwaved to crispness, far better than that nasty turkey bacon does. Also, it's tasty in its own right.

Move over FigisDec 26, 2008
By P. Martin
For the last 15+ years, Figis.com has provided our family with what I've always thought was the best summer sausage available today.
This Christmas, I was given a 20 ounce package of Old Wisconsin Original Summer Garlic Sausage. Without even opening it, I already made up my mind that if it's not a Figis product, it won't measure up.
Boy was I wrong! I can't believe the quality of this summer sausage. The taste is one that cannot be described, you'll just have to try it yourself.
Off to order more...

 Excellent Quality and TasteNov 20, 2009
By Beth Kristen Nehme
"Book Lover"
This is my favorite sausage. All other brands seem to fatty to me or poorly spiced. Since its not available in stores in my region, I've bribed friends to send it to me from home. I am thrilled to find it available on the web.

A Good Shelf Stable ProductFeb 02, 2009
By R. Thomasson
For summer sausage that doesn't have to be refridgerated, this is a good choice. The rolls tend to be a little on the fatty side and the salt content is hard to miss, but the overall flavor is good and in a sandwhich or paired with cheese or crackers, it makes a good snack or meal.
