They weren't especially garlicky. Nor did they have any appreciable 
taste. I donated them to an Auto Zone open house where they were 
prepared on a gas grill unit and then typically slathered with mustard, 
catsup and sweet pickle relish ... precluding their need to have any 
significant flavour of their own.

Last week I grabbed a pair of packages from the local Sav-A-Lot (Neiman 
Foods (Cub, County Market, etc)) that were priced 99c/lb for both Polish
sausage and bratwurst. My wallet made me do it even though my brain was 
crying out, "You're a dummy".

Turns out my brain was right. Not flavourless at all. But, a nasty taste
and horrid mouthfeel that no amount of spicy mustard would subsume. 

I did put them to good use, however. My neighbour lady has a pair of 
small, very noisy, aggressive mutts. I donated the nasty sausages in 
their direction - and the nervous little barstids were amazingly quiet 
for nearly three days.
