We were so disappointed that we would never get to enjoy that little thing in life that brought he & I together so many times. I know that it's all about the money, it always is, but without customers, where do you go? Maybe to bankruptcy court? Who knows.

Ritz, or saltines, a slice of sharp cheddar, a pickle slice... Omg it was heaven in your mouth. <br /><br />The Big Mama one is not quite the same. The flavor is somewhat similar, but it's soft and squishy. It doesn't have that hard summer sausage texture as the old Penroses. And the pickled eggs were just as good.

Take 2 lbs of polish sausages cut into short segments about 1 1/2 in ch long, (cooked), 3 c vinegar, 1 large onion sliced, 1/3 c. brown sugar, 1 TBS. crushed red pepper, 3 cloves of garlic sliced thin, 2-3 bay leaves, and 1 Tbs peppercorns. Layer onions & sausage in a large jar, combine rest of ingredients and bring to a boil, pour over the sausages. Coll and refrigerate for 2 to 3 days then enjoy.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03462010605958656060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-59481965769716049182014-05-12T13:30:51.627-04:002014-05-12T13:30:51.627-04:00I just talked to ConAgra and got the standard resp...I just talked to ConAgra and got the standard response from the receptionist who answer the phones so I sent an email. Here it is. Everyone send the same thing and let's get our product back on the shelves! <br /><br />Hello Mr Knudsen,<br />I have been hoping for the last several years to see my beloved Penrose Hot Sausages back on the shelves at my local grocer. To my dismay I was informed that ConAgra has discontinued them. I along with thousands of others want this product available again for our enjoyment. If you are not going to produce, market, and sell this product again, would you do me the favor of letting me have the recipe? I will make them myself if I have to. You mustn't be aware of the many people who have enjoyed your product and did so for many many years. We feel we have lost a part of our childhood with the loss of this particular product. <br />I would hope that you take a look via Google in reference to all the people who want this product back. Have your research team look into the costs versus the projected sales of this wonderful product and give it the opportunity to be produced again. <br />A quick response is always appreciated,<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07160640499075768261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-80831919783593323452014-03-27T03:13:57.820-04:002014-03-27T03:13:57.820-04:00Boy did I have this all wrong.

I do not like the Eckridge brand they replaced it with. Now a few years later I find Hanna's pickled sausage on their shelves. Hanna's are not bad but to salty for my taste that is what led me to the site tonight Looking to see if I could buy them online.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12489691175960914221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-78092759603481031012014-02-04T13:09:05.316-05:002014-02-04T13:09:05.316-05:00I believe the fire at this ConAgra plant was the m...I believe the fire at this ConAgra plant was the main reason why they discontinued the product.<br /><br />It wasn't profitable enough to move production to another facility and have to buy the required equipment.<br /><br />http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/5313797/<br /><br />The same basic product is still available in single serving form, but not jarred.<br /><br />http://www.conagrafoods.com/our-food/brands/penrose-pickled-sausages<br /><br />There are some great recipes on the internet for making a similar tasting sausage at home.

Keebler quit making my favorite cookie, the double fudge chocolate sandwich cookie. And if not gone, the rare Kraft bacon and horseradish dip. It is also difficult to find the Zagnut candy bar and I miss those braided Marathon bars. It seems everytime I go liking something, it's not long it disappears like Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck Hot BBQ sauce.
