In the US, you can buy sausage in lots of different forms. One of them is "bulk" sausage which is sold in a cylinder shape encased in a plastic cover (sorry for sounding so illiterate...I am really struggling with finding ordinary English words!). A very popular brand is made by Jimmy Dean. Anyway, you slice the sausage into little rounds (the patties). The cover/casing even has dotted lines to help you out with where to slice them! You pan fry the patties and serve with the French toast.
Sausage links are also popular but I like the patties, myself.
I just looked at the Jimmy Dean website. They call it "roll sausage." Who knew? I learned something new today!

At farmers' markets and butcher shops around here (Pennsylvania), you can often buy sausage meat that isn't encased in anything--they will have large pans of ground and seasoned sausage meat in the refrigerated cabinet. You can buy it by the pound and make your own patties out of it.
I'm partial to sage sausage myself.

However, Chrissi told me that no one (except me) would eat fruit salad and apparently, something like Jimmy Dean's sausage is unheard of here. So, all we had was French toast but I was able to persuade Chrissi to buy a bottle of maple syrup to go with it!

Eggs, various kinds of sausage, bacon, cooked tomatoes, cooked mushrooms, toast, croissants, muffins, jam, jelly, butter, coffee and juice.
And you call us COOKY? LOL

Now - I''m a veggie - but the best sausage is the scottish square sausage - yum! and fruit pudding is lovely too...
The croissants and muffins are definitely an add on to please different tastes - its certainly not a staple food for breakfast - particularly the muffins..
It amazed me in the US how donuts were seen as breakfast food.. with lots of icing and all sorts of stuff on them....

That's why I thought I'd be able to find some link sausage or something, but the notion of "breakfast sausage" seems to be American (from what I can tell). Looking at the butcher case at the "Activ Markt" I did see wurst and its brethren, but nothing that resembled a "Jones Farm" link. LOL
