Alabama sausage selected one of America's most iconic breakfast foods

Conecuh County's famous Conecuh Sausage has been selected one of America's 51 most iconic regional breakfast foods by Time Inc.'s. breakfast-centric website Extra Crispy.

The legendary sausage, which is prepared and packaged in the Conecuh County town of Evergreen, is available in grocery stores throughout Alabama and around the Southeast.

Conecuh Sausage has also popped up on the menus at such Alabama food establishments as Slice Pizza & Brewhouse, Kowaliga Restaurant, Milo's, and Bob's Victory Grille, among others.

Here's what Extra Crispy wrote about Conecuh Sausage:

"There are plenty of sausages savored across Alabama, but there's only one Conecuh. The late Henry Sessions founded the family business in 1947, and since then, every single link and coil of the sweet, spicy, hickory-smoked pork sausage has been made in Conecuh County, Alabama. The family uses only natural hog and sheep casings for the meat, and the heavenly scent from the Conecuh Gift Shop (which also sells smoked ham, turkey, and bacon) has been known to draw in motorists off Interstate 65."
