Franklins sausage? Apparently he puts beef heart in it? Anyone ever tried that one?

I've read that too. Haven't had a chance to try it yet

You always add heart to the grind.

A nice gamey flavor.

I think if somebody said that Aaron Franklin's secret to great 'que was that he wore ladie's thong underwear while BBQing, they would do it as well.

Most of the sausage and lunch meat you buy from the large commercial companies has heart and other beef and pork entrails in it. You really have to closely read the package.

Comercially made, sure. Maybe even some old-world recipes. I mean, look at an authentic andouille recipe; that's loaded with oddness. Then head cheese, etc.. Yeah, I know..
