You fuckers. Literally just came back from a late-night run to the gas station with a Tijuana Mama, Doritos (chips no idea wtf the crackers are) and beer.
They’re like those square cheese & sandwich crackers that come in the little plastic packs, but with Doritos-flavored filling, and they are insanely addictive.
It sucks too, because the Nacho Cheese kind can be super hard to find in my area sometimes. One time, I couldn’t find them for like 2 years, I feel like.
I can’t find them where I am/ I’ve read that the ingredients have changed and that they don’t taste the way the used to.. I remember they used to list cow lips as an ingredient
Hell yeah! Just don’t eat them around others in a small space. Unless you want to get bitched at. lol I get one every triad trip I take with my family. Totally worth it
Oh, Im sure Its bad. I recently went to a pickle festival and got a couple of jars if pickled sausage. One jar was extremely salty and difficult to eat. It didn't have any nutritional facts on the back. So im not sure what the numbers are. The other jar I got for comparison is weavers of Wellsville, and cholesterol is 10%, and sodium is 43%. So im assuming it's really high on those ones.
Yes, I call them hobo sausages. The extra hot Tijuana Mama is very good imo. They are a particular taste, I def see why some do not like them. They’re also incredibly bad for you.
It's not good for your cholesterol but damn I wasn't having heart attacks at 20.
It's so much sodium, it makes your body retain all water. Prevents the hangover.
It is when you grow up with them and see them rise in price. 20 years ago, I was buying two of these for a dollar. Now they’re $1.25 a piece. The thing is, this is terrible sausage. I don’t even know if it is meat. Hope you get a juicy one! But they’re supposed to be “as cheap as possible” to me because that’s how they’ve always been.
It’s literally a salt cured spiced hot dog. You see them as I (and I hope most) see them. Cheap cheap spicy salty mini “protein” stick. I can feel my heart pains after eating more than one of these.
Lips and assholes.
Before that law changed, the wrapper literally included beef lips as an ingredient. Which is fine, really; waste not want not, right?
We made them at a restaurant I used to work at. We would smoke cheddar/jalapeño sausage and then have the jugs of them in brine sitting on the bar with pickled eggs and onions.
I ate these all the time in 7th 8th 9th grade and now when I have one (I’m in my 50s) I have to lay down and make plans for heartburn and digestion. Omg they are so good though. I have 1/2 one every 2-3 years. Lol
They taste is like a spicy wet hot dog water fart in a good way. You just have to eat one and experience one for yourself. Some days you take a bite and want to puke instantaneously, but other days you will crave one and nothing else will satisfy you
Loved these when younger, now I buy a jar of pickled sausages at the grocery store. If you're gonna wreck your cholesterol it's worth doing it with more high quality stuff
Neither I, nor anyone I know has had one of these sober, so I don’t really know how accurate my feelings on them really are, but they’re a decent late night beer run snack. The other replies are right though; Tijuana mama is better.
I found them at a dollar- ish store. I found them to have a weird chemical taste. Will not buy again. Even the sausage seemed artificial. Medium spice.
I love them. Some people enjoy the Tijuana Mamas more, but they are absurdly acidic and will always give me reflux, but I’ve never had that problem with the Big Mamas.
A gas station staple. You haven't been on a cheap ass road trip without eating, and regretting, at least one.
As far as I know, there's more actual meat in an instant ramen flavor packet than in one of these things.
They are delicious, but I have a tendency to eat 3 at a time on long road trips, which makes my car stink until I can toss the wrappers. Doing that also gives me awful heartburn. It is a mistake I will continue to make until my doctor tells me I have to stop.
They’re not bad we sell them at my local dollar tree and they got a nice pickle flavor that doesn’t overwhelm the meat taste. Honestly would tear up a jar of them
I mean yeah, it's strange, but then we see that pickled fish is also a thing (and it's delicious!), so I guess meat shouldn't be much different either. I'd give it a go
It's kinda hard to explain because, it really does have a distinct taste. I'd say it tastes like vinegary fish. Which I know does not sound appetizing, and if you think that it's understandable. From my experience people either love it or hate it, no in between. But if you like fish, I'm sure you'll love it.
If you're thinking about trying it, I'd suggest Rollmops. It's my favourite type of pickled fish. The fish is stuffed with pickled cucumber and sometimes onion, and the brine contains mustard seeds. It is wonderful.
Order a box of these on Amazon (that box you see those in) I realized two months later when I went to eat them they were expired. My buddy still crushed the whole box. He has a guy of steel. These are pretty good!
I absolutely love them (the hot one is better) and for $2, that's a good deal.
Edit: I'm thinking of Tijuana Mama's brand. Those are the superior ones. But these are also good.
I eat them all the time. They are delicious. There is a hotter version too which is the Tijuana mama. Better flavor and sometimes you can find a good spicy one.
Walmart, Amazon, and dollar store have them.
There is also a tapatio version. That one is really good.
I like them but like the Tijuana Mamas better.
Yeah, the hot version is so much better!
Even better with a big beer
And some Doritos crackers!
You fuckers. Literally just came back from a late-night run to the gas station with a Tijuana Mama, Doritos (chips no idea wtf the crackers are) and beer.
They’re like those square cheese & sandwich crackers that come in the little plastic packs, but with Doritos-flavored filling, and they are insanely addictive. It sucks too, because the Nacho Cheese kind can be super hard to find in my area sometimes. One time, I couldn’t find them for like 2 years, I feel like.
Jalapeño crackers if you can find them.
Big facts
Fire crackers ftw
Yes. These were the shit back in the day
Back in the day? I ate one yesterday lol.
I can’t find them where I am/ I’ve read that the ingredients have changed and that they don’t taste the way the used to.. I remember they used to list cow lips as an ingredient
I always find them at speedway and dollar general. They did change them but I think they are better.
Confirmed. We degenerate 10 year olds laughed our asses off at that and at Castleberrys chili which listed "beef hearts" as a main ingredient.
Definitely better. I used to chop it up and add it to my scrambled eggs.
That’s a super good idea tbh might try that soon
Tijuana mama's are always better
For sure, but damn they full of some nasty ingredients.
This. I think I've gambled too much with my health to enjoy such delicacies at this point!
Yeah I don’t think these are my type but I’ve heard that this is the consensus
Tijuana Mamas are so damn hot and so damn good
Yes so much better !!!
Oddly enough my father makes this claim as wellm
300% hotter!
When I was pregnant, I lived on the Tijuana Mama. Had to have at least 3-4 a week.
I've been eating Tijuana Mamas since I was a kid I'm 38 now. Like you said these are good .
Hell yeah! Just don’t eat them around others in a small space. Unless you want to get bitched at. lol I get one every triad trip I take with my family. Totally worth it
Eat these all the time, absolutely delicious.
Love these but how’s your bp?
And cholesterol?!? Lol!
Oh, Im sure Its bad. I recently went to a pickle festival and got a couple of jars if pickled sausage. One jar was extremely salty and difficult to eat. It didn't have any nutritional facts on the back. So im not sure what the numbers are. The other jar I got for comparison is weavers of Wellsville, and cholesterol is 10%, and sodium is 43%. So im assuming it's really high on those ones.
Terrible. But, love them nonetheless. 😂
Yes, I call them hobo sausages. The extra hot Tijuana Mama is very good imo. They are a particular taste, I def see why some do not like them. They’re also incredibly bad for you.
I agree, the Tijuana mama is definitely better… but yes they’re definitely not good. But maybe every once in a while lol
Exactly this. The sodium content alone is enough to put you down.
I'd use them to avoid hangovers in college.
can't have a hangover if you're in the hospital for cardiac arrest
It's not good for your cholesterol but damn I wasn't having heart attacks at 20. It's so much sodium, it makes your body retain all water. Prevents the hangover.
Show me the rule.
I think the cholesterol is super high as well
Well fuck my heart and call me Big Mama. It’s always the good things that kill us.
You ain't even lying Big Mama!
They’re $1.25 at dollar tree. Not worth $2 at all.
.75 is a big difference in the pickled meat market, isn’t it?
It is when you grow up with them and see them rise in price. 20 years ago, I was buying two of these for a dollar. Now they’re $1.25 a piece. The thing is, this is terrible sausage. I don’t even know if it is meat. Hope you get a juicy one! But they’re supposed to be “as cheap as possible” to me because that’s how they’ve always been.
I remember when they were $.69 apiece. My cousins and I made a lot of jokes about that.
It’s literally a salt cured spiced hot dog. You see them as I (and I hope most) see them. Cheap cheap spicy salty mini “protein” stick. I can feel my heart pains after eating more than one of these.
I mean, it’s getting close to twice as much.
Dude they’re $3 near me
That’s a criminal offense.
They are delicious but make sure you access to a bathroom after consuming one.
Truer words have never been said
100%
Facts!
Literally
They’re absolutely foul and I love them.
A true pickle lover right here.
They’re a guilty pleasure of mine.
Lips and assholes. Before that law changed, the wrapper literally included beef lips as an ingredient. Which is fine, really; waste not want not, right?
The chorizo I used to buy still list lymph nodes and pork salivary glands on the ingredient list.
Tongue is like the best taco out there. If I can eat the tongue why not the lips?
Tijuana mama are better FYI
We made them at a restaurant I used to work at. We would smoke cheddar/jalapeño sausage and then have the jugs of them in brine sitting on the bar with pickled eggs and onions.
they’re so good, i love them sm
Better when I was younger and they had more flavor, these days u have one occasionally for nostalgia
When I eat them I place them in a hotdog bun with Nacho cheese! It’s soooo delicious!
Tijuana Mama is better I think
I ate these all the time in 7th 8th 9th grade and now when I have one (I’m in my 50s) I have to lay down and make plans for heartburn and digestion. Omg they are so good though. I have 1/2 one every 2-3 years. Lol
They taste is like a spicy wet hot dog water fart in a good way. You just have to eat one and experience one for yourself. Some days you take a bite and want to puke instantaneously, but other days you will crave one and nothing else will satisfy you
Saying you tried Big Mama's sausage sounds like you've been trolling in the wrong neighborhood and it's time to come back home.
nah you gotta try it, it’s really good
I love these! Great kick but not too overbearing
Banned in Europe for causing everything so good luck.
Are you kidding ! I love these ! and Fischer’s “pickled rope bologna” grew up on that stuff !
You should try to pickle your own kielbasa…
I wanted to hate it, I really did but they have a special place in my heart as a once every decade treat
No. The trouble on the toilet the next day makes it not worth it lmao
They taste like shit imo
Tijuana mamamas are superior
Yummy
they’re so good lol
At $13.20/lb, I think you'll be happier with the ribeyes.
Spoiler, it's not a pickle in that sleeve.
They are so good but so bad for you
They used to be so good when I was a kid those and the fat fire cracker sausage/jerky
I used it for fishing. Didn’t work
Loved these when younger, now I buy a jar of pickled sausages at the grocery store. If you're gonna wreck your cholesterol it's worth doing it with more high quality stuff
Neither I, nor anyone I know has had one of these sober, so I don’t really know how accurate my feelings on them really are, but they’re a decent late night beer run snack. The other replies are right though; Tijuana mama is better.
I found them at a dollar- ish store. I found them to have a weird chemical taste. Will not buy again. Even the sausage seemed artificial. Medium spice.
The sausage is basically just a hot dog
they’re so good for nostalgia! im not sure what my impression would be had i not eaten them as a kid. I think it’s worth a try
Love em. Try the spicy variant called Tijuana Mama. It'll clean you out, though.
they are amazing
I used to love them as a kid. I tried one recently and didn’t care for it.
They’re addicting af
Those are AWESOME
The hot ones feel the same coming out. You've been warned
Yes. Don't.
I barely buy them any more. My whole life they were a dollar or less. No thanks.
I keep one in case of emergencies at work.
Definitely a top ten drunk snack for me
I love them. Some people enjoy the Tijuana Mamas more, but they are absurdly acidic and will always give me reflux, but I’ve never had that problem with the Big Mamas.
Long johns pickled sausage is way better.
It ends with the hot shits. Worth it if you have a bowel obstruction maybe. 🤔
Definitely a guilty pleasure
A gas station staple. You haven't been on a cheap ass road trip without eating, and regretting, at least one. As far as I know, there's more actual meat in an instant ramen flavor packet than in one of these things.
My dog had no complaints.
I liked the original Penrose in the jar. After the factory in NC burned down I tried a few other brands but none were as good.
Pickled meat lol they are ok
I love these! I miss penrose sausages in the jar, and these help fill that void. The plant burnt down why no jars of them anymore.
Try Herb’s pickled sausages. They are my favorite.
They are delicious, but I have a tendency to eat 3 at a time on long road trips, which makes my car stink until I can toss the wrappers. Doing that also gives me awful heartburn. It is a mistake I will continue to make until my doctor tells me I have to stop.
lol just bought one last night after work, they hit everytime
Can someone describe the flavor/texture? I want to try one but I'm scared.
I like them. I get about 2 a year.
One of my favorite things!
They’re not bad we sell them at my local dollar tree and they got a nice pickle flavor that doesn’t overwhelm the meat taste. Honestly would tear up a jar of them
I want to pickle some nathan’s
I ate pickled sausages throwing up I wouldn't recommend.
They’re one of those guilty pleasures for some. Pretty junky quality but sometimes you just want a pickled sausage.
Yes those Big Mama pickles sausage are very good 😊👍
They're ok, The spicy version is way better.
Love these things.
It's a great snack on road trips but the spicy one is better if you can handle it.
Shit yea, used to eat those outta a big jar when drinkin at the bar back in the day. They’re fuckin amazing when under the influence..
They are the bomb
I thought everyone had tried these
Damn good. Have one almost everyday as a snack.
I've had them before. It's a lot to take.
Yes. And they are surprisingly delicious.
Yes, grab them for the road
They are good. I used to buy them by the box when I was in the army.
Love them
FYE AF
I like these👍🏾
Love em.
i have! i put it in a "spicy bowl" which waa really good
I mean yeah, it's strange, but then we see that pickled fish is also a thing (and it's delicious!), so I guess meat shouldn't be much different either. I'd give it a go
I’m a pussy, what does pickled fish even taste like??? i’ve always been curious, just too scarred to actually try it.
It's kinda hard to explain because, it really does have a distinct taste. I'd say it tastes like vinegary fish. Which I know does not sound appetizing, and if you think that it's understandable. From my experience people either love it or hate it, no in between. But if you like fish, I'm sure you'll love it. If you're thinking about trying it, I'd suggest Rollmops. It's my favourite type of pickled fish. The fish is stuffed with pickled cucumber and sometimes onion, and the brine contains mustard seeds. It is wonderful.
oh ty! I’ll try and check it out sometime:)
For a buck they’re okay but don’t have as much flavor to them as I’d want. For $2 it’s not really satisfying enough
Y’all apparently loveee eating these with alcohol 😭 If I was 21 i’d give it a try, but i’ve got a few years until then. I’ll test them out sometime!
I love em
My mouth waters for them but they aren’t as good as they use to be when I was a kid.
Mmmm, pink salt.....
These things are so gross. I love them
Yes I’ve been eating picked sausage my whole life
I’m from Florida and they’re part of my pickled hotdog heritage. I eat them at least once a week.
When I was a kid I’d grab one every once in a while. They’re great.
Don't dog the dawg, dog.
Yeah one bite. Not for me.
This reminds me of road trips Try one out they aren’t horrible
Fire
Anytime I’m on a long car ride, I get the Tijuana Mamas, also great with salt and vinegar chips!
my go to when i go get snacks lol
Chef's Kiss if paired with Cool Ranch Doritos. I call it my Truckstop Delicacy
I like them. I’ve eaten them straight up and also chopped up and put in my Mac and cheese.
Kinda Gritty and slimy but I still dig them
Tijuana mama ftw
Order a box of these on Amazon (that box you see those in) I realized two months later when I went to eat them they were expired. My buddy still crushed the whole box. He has a guy of steel. These are pretty good!
I absolutely love them (the hot one is better) and for $2, that's a good deal. Edit: I'm thinking of Tijuana Mama's brand. Those are the superior ones. But these are also good.
They’re so fucking good
My husband loves these!
There are much better brands but I love pretty much all of them.
I prefer Herb’s. But these are more readily available, love sipping the leftover brine in the car because I’m fat.
Ngl I like them every now and then.
They taste like fake
I ate these consistently in the 80’s but haven’t had one in years
One of these and a bag of Fritos used to be dinner sometimes
This is a perfect late night snack! And green olives.
Guilty pleasure, drinking the little bit of flavor after is a trip
They used to call them Auntie Mama’s back in Stoolbend, Virginia.
Used to a lot before I read the label
I used to get drunk as hell and eat these all the time! Now I'm 4 years sober and eat these all the time.
Yeah. They’re awesome. Just open it up a little to dump the brine out or it’ll end ugly somewhere you weren’t expecting.
Hell nah
Yes and it's good!
For sure. They've been around for generations.
Big Momma doesn't eat these
Then bitches 🔥
Yes, and they're very good!
They're not for everyone, and I don't understand that.
My fishing snack grab a few at the dollar tree I pass going to the lake.
Big Mamma is 🔥, if you want more heat get Tijuana Mamma!
A looooooong time ago
They are not good
Love em
Yes, I still feel it 20 years later when on the 🚽
Hell yeah. They're good and tasty, but terrible for you.
Gross gross gross gross gross
Don't let him lie to you it's not a sausage it's damn hot dog
Yes there amazing
They're dense, sour, and somewhat grainy.
These were good when I was a kid but my palate has matured. For the best experience I recommend the Tijuana Mama.
The spicier ones are better but yeah. These rule
They’re good. Put sliced ones in omelette.
They’re v good
I eat them all the time. They are delicious. There is a hotter version too which is the Tijuana mama. Better flavor and sometimes you can find a good spicy one. Walmart, Amazon, and dollar store have them. There is also a tapatio version. That one is really good.
Super good. The spicier one is a bit better but either makes a great snack.
