Speaking of, I kind of enjoy a savory sausage (herbs and spices) complemented with a 'sweeter' stout. It's one of those taste combinations that most would find disgusting.Mmmm. Sausage beer.
Got a tip for us?

Actually, any good quality - preferably robust - sausage (sweet, or savoury) works rather well with a 'sweeter' stout.
I like eating rich dark chocolate or on the completely flip side of things a really salty potato chip/french fry. One of the beer houses we go to, they make a really good sausage plate that has just what you mentioned. I love getting it and having a good dark Quad or Stout with it.
Yeah, chocolate cake is a given. When I say sweet sausage I mean something silly like pineapple chicken. Eugh, which is a terrible mixture that has no business being eaten.
Oh! I have had sweet sausage, with bell peppers, but yeah I don't think I have had anything like that!
There's a Thai style S&S chicken that has pineapple, it's pretty tasty
... but keep the g****** pineapple off my pizza
Yes, both here and abroad. My mental reaction was, "I'm on a tv show, right?"
Come on, it is perfectly possible to have "sweet sausage" without the culinary horrors and obscenities you mention.
In my world, where butchers, or specialist sausage makers experiment with sausages or tweak ancient traditions, "sweet sausage" more usually means a sausage (an organic, butcher's sausage) made with apple (sweet, juicy and tasty) and the sort of spices that may complement apple or similar fruit.
But, not - ever - pineapple.
Please. Don't get me started on pineapple on pizza. Or that former New Zealand PM....There's a Thai style S&S chicken that has pineapple, it's pretty tasty

Oh, not a fan of the apple either. I don't like my meat to have any sweetness to it. The closest I've been is an apple vinegar based condiment I make for pork. Except it's tart, mildly sweet and fiery.
Though I wouldn't say no to authentic char siu.
I'm more offended with the "bacon on everything" movement sweeping this country into heart clogging territory.
I agree with you for reasons entirely independent of my vegetarianism.
Let us beg to differ.
Your culinary preferences are not mine.
A proper butcher's sausage made with apple - and served with gratin dauphinoise - and - either beer, or white wine - is a feast fit for the gods.
Pork and sweetness (yes, even - in the right setting - that damned - consigned to the culinary hell's eternal flames - pineapple - suit one another - in the way that beef and sweetness do not).
Indeed, yes, oh dear.

Which is exactly why I said this:
It's abundantly clear I'm talking about my personal tastes and not yours.
We get a local brand of sweet sausage, all organic farmed, it's _fantastic_ and makes some amazing sausage and pepper dishes.
No, actually, with respect, it is not.
But - tastes are so personal and subjective.
However, they do not need to be transcribed in such adamantly judgmental terms as some - and yes, that includes the posts submitted by your good self on this topic - describe....in such emphatic terms.
In future, I'll make it more clear using size 12 font in bright red font so there is no mistake on your behalf.
Sigh.
Strange as it may be to accept, there are other culinary perspectives in the world - which may merit equal respect off not consideration - than those to which you appear to subscribe so....dogmatically and assertively.

I love pineapple on my Pizza! Good stuff I tell yeah!
Happy to share a beer with you, but you can keep the pizza for yourself.
