Around the World 5: Hot Sausage & Cheese - Absolutely Underrated

I am going Around the World on the Primantis menu, eating every sandwich, in order.

Number 5 is the Hot Sausage & Cheese, a sandwich that never popped up on my radar, because I never thought it'd be a great sandwich, but I never thought it'd be pointless (see: Egg and Cheese). I was wrong. This is a good sandwich. I will get this one again.

What a great amount of cheese on there

This is a sandwich to get on the heel. Being in the know can greatly improve your experience here. The hot sausage has some residual sauce, as it should, and I think it would make the bread soggy rather quickly. Having the crust holds all of that in.

The sausage at the bottom is such a unique look. It would be messy without the heel.

This was a really good sandwich. The hot sausage was very flavorful, and it stood out well against the tangy coleslaw and the rich fries. The three elements blended so very well, but unlike a lot of the previous flavors, the sausage taste is distinct and bold.

It tastes like the hot sausage cooked by so many ethnic European parents and grandparents. The spice is not overwhelming, I'd hardly call it spicy, but there is a modest kick to it. I'd consider it more "bold" than "spicy", but your mileage may vary.

There's an adequate amount of meat there, too. I also thought there might be problems with the casing not being easily chewed, and that was no issue at all.

This was tasty. I will definitely get this again, and you should put this on your "to try" list.

Taste: 8  It was bold and flavorful and stood out against the crowd of mediocre sammiches.
Satisfaction: 8  The flavor lingers for a while on the tongue.
Flavor: 9  I'm sure there's better, but this is the best flavor so far.
Enjoyable: 7  Get it on the heel, or else this would probably go way down
Pittsburghness: 7  Nobody ever talks about Pittsburgh as a sausage city, that's a midwest thing, but with how many ethnic groups a strong in the Steel City, from Polish Hill to Deutschtown, it fits.

Should I Get This Sandwich? Yes. Yes you should. I doubt it'll replace your favorite, but it should be a good switch-up.
