FRY your own SAUSAGE

Missouri makes me think of German sausage.  Did you know that Ozark Mountain country (partially located in southern Missouri) was widely settled by Germans that brought their own culinary traditions?  To this day,  Hermann’s Wurstfest celebrates this culinary transplant every year.  You know the saying, “you made your bed, now lie in it?”  I prefer the German version: “Die Wurst nach dem Manne braten” — every man fries his own sausage.  Check out this Call for Entries from Missouri…
