Smigus Dyngus?

Happy wet Monday! Today's holiday was truly reflected by the weather out. Wet Monday, or Smigus Dyngus is the after party to Easter Sunday. In some countries, Catholic's partake in dousing other people with holy water blessed the day before during Easter mass. Here on the home front the holiday is most celebrated on the East coast. This day is also often used to launch the year's political campaign season. I was doing some food research on the holiday and found out that a teacher at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana began celebrating Dyngus Day at the request of South Bend students. They provided free Polish sausage for students for students as well as a free concert. All this talk of free sausage has gotten me all worked up. I researched different ways to prepare sausage and here's what I found:
