Yes, a cooked/smoked brat, cooked/smoked Kielbasa. There are 100’s of different sausages offered in the USA. The Italian is 100% better fresh, but they do have a few cooked/smoked Italians on the market. The only person I know of having any success with a boiled/simmered Italian is “ICE CREAM MAN” in CANADA. The hot pepper idea is good, when you look at a hot sauce look for flavor, I think Tabasco is nothing by hot, no flavor…………….I think you need to see what sausages are available and then decide, what works, and is available in the USA isn’t always available in the UK……………..the best…………BillyB……P.S if you  have a good sausage, and good mustard with horseradish goes great with it……………..
