[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2582234, member: 9374"] I just went to Braum's and got a pack to try. Early results of the Braum's as compared to my previous go-to hot link, the Earl Campbell. First impressions: From seeing them in the package, I expected Braum's "Hot Links" to be more of a "Red Hot" than a hot link. Earl Campbell has both - hot links and red hots. The casing is very red, the texture seemed a little more spongy than the EC hot links when still in package. Taste test - Braum's hot links do have a very good flavor. Heat was slightly greater than Earl Campbell's, though still quite pleasing and not overpowering. I hate when the heat overpowers the flavor. Not a good thing. Texture - This could be construed as a tossup... the Braum's hot links are a good bit softer than the EC, more like a traditional red hot than a hot link. The EC is much more "sausage-like" in terms of firmness, heterogeneity, etc. More like a bratwurst than a hotdog, IOW. The Braum's is more on the red hot/hotdog side of the texture spectrum, more homogenous. The skin is softer than I expected and more easily broken in a simple bite. A tossup? I dunno... both very good, but not exactly the same kind of thing. If you're looking for more of a "sausage-type" hot link with more chewability, then EC is for you. Braum's is simpler - softer for you old guys with poor teeth, slightly hotter, though the difference is noticeable, it is not huge. [/QUOTE]
