I rated this recipe with a
I rated this recipe with a single star without even reading the whole recipe for this reason; Would it be too much to ask WHAT KIND OF SAUSAGE? Italian, breakfast, something else? Just a tiny, little detail after all. Sheesh.
Hello, Delta. Thanks for
Hello, Delta. Thanks for commenting. We prefer to leave the sausage up to the chef, as everyone has different taste. If we were to state “Italian sausage,” those who do not like Italian sausage would turn away and so on and so forth for the other types of sausage. We hope you will try it with your favorite kind of sausage and decide to change your 1-star rating. Enjoy!
