Day 1-- Archer Farms Green Chile and Cheddar Chicken Sausage

First day down and done with. I went with an obscure choice to kick this thing off. Brats will be coming through the weekend, but today I thought we could get a little festive. Archer Farms can be found at all of your local Target stores and had for a pretty good price. Now, the true question, how is it?

Upon close inspection, it looks like an obvious sausage with an abundance of green chile's in each one. They grill up quickly under a medium to high heat and have little to no smell when cooking. The casing is nonexistent, not giving you that "crunch" type of sensation when eating a typical sausage or brat.

When you first bite into it, you get the immediate taste of green chile, and well, that's about it. The green chile overshadows the taste of any type of sausage and cheddar cheese. I must say I am a bit disappointed with the lack of cheese taste anywhere in it. Why advertise it when you have a pepper that is going to wipe out all other tastes? Worried about being spicy? Have no fear, there is no heat here.

It's good, but I would buy this as a "hey I want to try something new" type of sausage. Pass up on this if you have other types of grilling to try out. This might go well any type of Hispanic dish, mixed in with rice, or well on it's own.

Taste 2/5
Appearance 3/5
Spiciness 0/5
