Ari Ofsevit asks:
Shot in the dark here, but is there anywhere in Boston to get good bratwurst for grilling?
Like the job UHub is doing? Consider a contribution. Thanks!

Kielbasa is the right call

I've brought the fresh kielbasa from DJs to friends' houses for a cookout and they've always been raved about.

Best pan-european sausage selection, and if you're hungry they'll make you a sandwich.

What kind of psychopath recommends kielbasa when someone asks about bratwurst?

My wife grew up a couple of miles from there -- and both her brothers worked there during summer vacations. Not only do they make good bratwurst -- they also make great summer sausage. Alas, unlike their bratwurst, their summer sausage doesn't seem to be exported to Boston.

Aldi's?

Did someone really say Aldi's? Are you trying to get a hotdog off the floor?
If you're really questing then go up to Brownyn in Somerville. Otherwise I prefer the street sausages next to Macy's.
"Aldi's"

I can't find it at the moment, but there's a Reddit account that does the single task of replying to people who call Aldi "Aldi's."

Does anyone know where one can buy proper Irish bangers outside of St Patricks Day season? Aldi in Medford had them a few weeks ago, and Whole Foods too, but they have since disappeared from the shelves..

The opposite ends of Dorchester. If you want something Polish, visit the Triangle. If you want something Irish, visit Adams Corner. That's where years ago I got my bacon for a proper culchie meal- bacon and cabbage.
Thanks, I'll check it out!

I made Dublin coddle a few weeks ago after finding the bangers at Aldi, but I couldn't find rashers and had to opt for Canadian bacon instead. It was fine, but felt like it was missing something.

Costco

If they're in stock, Costco's store brand brats are the best brats you can buy around here. Yes, I've had all the others.
Johnsonville now puts corn syrup in their "original" brats, which ruins the flavor. If you have to buy Johnsonville, buy the "Natural" variety, which don't.
The Kirkland brats are not just Johnsonville with a different label. They're made in Kansas City, and they're better.

We're huge Pig Rock fans at our house, everything we've tried from than has been fantastic. You can get delivery through Morrissey Market in most of the Boston area.

Former Milwaukeean here. Never forget that Usingers's will ship brats by the case. Accept no substitute. These chowderheads do brats about as well as folks in Sheboygan do lobster rolls. ;)
