WHY Sausage-making as fine art, and especially worth a visit Thursday through Saturday, when the butchers prepare fresh bangers, Swedish sausage and apple sausage.

WHAT Schreiner’s house-made sausages and cured meats are shipped all over the country, and with good reason. In addition to the wondrous sausages that fill the enormous deli cases (the brats are amazing), the smokehouse also makes marvelous Canadian bacon and Black Forest ham infused with sweet hickory. All sorts of European groceries, too, including Hungarian noodles and a good selection of German beer and wines.
