Pictures are just fine, the fatties are even better it looks like.
Outstanding job on 'em.

I sure am glad you meant a food item with that title,

That could be taken a few different ways.

And yes I agree those "fatties" look very tasty.

What exactly is a "fattie"? The ones i've seen photographed on here were more than appetizing looking, I just don't know what kind of meat it is

Thanks

A "fattie" is normally a 1# tube of sausage minus the tube, rolled in your favorite rub and smoked for an hour or so. I personally enjoy Jimmy Dean's Maple flavored sausage for this, in fact, I'm about to take one off the smoker right now.
Makes for very good eats, either sliced or crumbled into gravy.

Made one last night for some company. Sliced, quartered, toothpick in each, with some Head Country sauce for dipping. It was awesome.

This is new to me also,

Do you Just remove the plastic, roll in rub and add heat? That simple?

Done in an Hr? What temp?

I assume this is a regional dish, where does it originate?

A pic of a 1 lb sausage tube or fattie as we call it....

Nothing more than bulk sausage.
Now here`s what i do with them...

Rolled, smoked & crumbbled for biscuites and gravy or

Sliced and served as is with egg of choise.

Or "fattie cakes" as i like to call them. Roll, smoke and slice then make some small pancakes, scrambbled eggs neat, assemble in a sandwich kinda like those Mc schizzle things.
Drizzle with your favorite maple syrup and fight for the last one cause there pretty dang good. Very Happy

Now this is "breakfast" Wink

O.K. this just sounds to good to be true. I have to try it now.

I bought 2 tubes of sausage on my way home. One Regular and one hot. I'm going to smoke the regular one tomorrow night and the hot one (stuffed with cream cheese & garlic) this weekend. I've never tried these before but I can't wait.
