Carroll's Sausage and Meats

Terry and Dale had scouted out the town of Sylvester for places of interest and had located Carroll's Sausage and Meats, which makes outstanding sausage. They have pork smoked sausage in hot, medium and mild as well as raw pork sausage and beef smoked sausage. We of course had to get about a pound of each medium pork, medium beef and raw pork. Having spent a number of years in Southwest Louisiana (Lake Charles), I consider myself as an devotee of fine sausage and my belly can attest to prior experience. Carroll's pork sausage is some of the best that has made it's way through my relatively discerning (though not picky) lips. However, their beef sausage leaves a lot to be desired since it was rather dry and thus did not meet the test for artery clogging potential. Now for the really wonderful stuff. Carroll's puts together a killer stuffed pork chop. The basic recipe is to take two pork chops, stuff them with sausage (yummy), and then wrap with bacon to complete the scrumptious offering to the gods. Wrap this rascal in foil put in the oven at 350 for about 45 minutes and you have pure dining heaven. Carroll's is worth getting off the interstate and driving for a few miles for some truly good things to eat.
