It has its place, I like it for poboys and just grilled and sliced for an appetizer with mustard or bar b q sauce, it is cheap and consistent

My issue with Manda is that I find it greasy. It may work in my Jambalaya but, shrinks up when cooked. In my gumbo I find it makes it greasier so have have gotten away from eating it. Tell me it has changed and I will try it again.

All time favorite is green onion mixed from Market Basket in Lake Charles, but go to at the grocery store is Veron's or French Settlement.

If it's on sale I will get it..but that is the way I buy most sausage..If I use it in a gumbo I put it in the oven first to get most of grease out..
I got some sausage from Sam's.. It's called Polk's Cajun..Whew talk about greasy.. I made some seasoned grits and added the oven cook Polks to the grits and it turned the grits a light brown color from the grease that was still in the sausage.. The sausage is not too bad..CHEAP PRICE..

I just picked up Foreman's smoked green onion sausage for some white beans. Not bad. Where would this rank IYO?

Manda is just another mass marketed sausage. In the same group as Double D, Country Pleasin, Savoies, etc.
They are what they are. Among the better ones IMO are New Orleans Smoked Saugsage (Chisesi Bros Hogs for the Cause one) and Tony Chachere's Smoked Sausage.
LA has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to specialty meats and smoked sausage.
My favorites: Rabideauxs and Kartchners (be patient - the Scott locations is in-work). And IMO, these are on another level than the River Parishes offerings.

great response. 
I was just providing some lesser known info, just as you did Mr. USDA this and that. The fact is there are better choices out there. I could give a shite what you eat.

I like it butterflied open, browned to a crisp, and put on a breakfast sandwich. I refuse to use it for gumbo or jambalaya due to the mushy texture.

Not even gonna lie, I like Manda quite a bit compared to these Texas sausages, which lack in spice and flavor...which is saying alot for what can't be found here.

I like it ok grilled, split and seared or something that renders some fat. I do not like putting it in stuff. It's too greasy. Same for the Gump sausage. Fine grilled by sucks when put in a pot of something...

I’ve never understood the Internet/TD hate for Manda.
I would think if someone who wasn't from around here at that sausage, they'd like it. We have so many choices down here, and they just simply aren't that good.

I’ll close by saying this: I’ve never seen DD or Savoies or Richards sponsoring events and charities in Baton Rouge. But Manda is always there. Think about that.
Well good for them. I'll always try and support local business. Pretty much any sausage you buy at the grocery store, outside of Hillshire Farms, you're probably supporting a local business.

are you a Manda by birth, or did you marry into the family?
Rabideaux's FTW.

Best sausage in the world in ny estimation is Jerry Lee's andoullie but it's not in grocery stores.. I grew up on Savoie's so I'm partial to it, but Verons is good also.

All I know is every time I see or hear Manda I think of Jim Hawthorn. “Manda fine meats” in his silky smooth voice.
