Just a quick reminder that this FB page is mostly auto-populated with posts from Instagram. If you’re looking to communicate with the shop, phone, Instagram, or Twitter (for now) is the way to go.

The issue is both FB and FB messenger. There are just enough hoops to jump through that I just now saw messages from Independence Day despite my actually looking every couple months since.

“Spirals… this town is contaminated with spirals…”

We have a frightfully fun array of spooky sausages haunting the case this week! Nemo’s favorite is Uzumaki - a pork sausage with miso paste, pickled plums, and Japanese togarashi seasoning, inspired by the hair-curling horror manga by Junji Ito where a whole town is plagued by a curse of spirals (swipe right to see his main character, Kirie). However, these 1 LB spirals of sausage are just mesmerizingly delicious!
