HI,
We are having a sausage tasting party. I will be going to a local smoke house and will get about 10 different kinds. What kind of appetizers and side dishes do you think will go well with it?
Thanks a bunch

Bruschetta
Green salad with a fresh vinaigrette
Sausages always go well with onions and peppers - maybe Jean's Onion gratin.

Sausages are kind of heavy, and sometime spicy, so I would go with something cool, like a nice fruit salad and/or a pasta salad.

Fruit platters are wonderful with sausages.
Simple lettuce and tomato salad
French fries or potato fritters
pickled onions (cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, etc)
fried apples
honey mustard
a stir fry of peppers and onions
sauerkraut
geez, I could go on and on.

It would probably be good to have a broad selection of condiments handy, as well - especially a variety of mustards.

All sounds good...I will have variety of mustards. Thought of maybe doing some baked beans and a salad.

Something crunchy too

Baked beans are kind of heavy and it is a tasting party, not dinner. You may want to think more finger food or things you can serve on cute little skewers. Although, I do like the idea of a salad. Good advice here. I even checked Culinary Artistry and everything is covered here.

BACON wrapped around a few of the sausages before grilling - oh my, died and gone to heaven. with good old grainy mustard.
