A recent article in Southern Living comparing Mississippi's Pleasin' Country Pleasin' Sausage to Alabama's iconic Conecuh Sausage has ignited a friendly food feud between the two states. While the article avoids directly declaring a winner, social media users have taken sides, with Alabamians fiercely defending Conecuh as a beloved regional treasure.
‘ Conecuh is life’: Southern Living starts Alabama sausage rivalry with praise for Mississippi Pleasin’A writer at Southern Living this week may have started a war between Alabama and Mississippi with the bold suggestion that Florence, Miss.’s Pleasin’ Country Pleasin’ Sausage ‘is better than Conecuh ’ -- at least in the opinion of Mississippians.
To be fair, the writer of the piece never goes as far to say Pleasin’ is better than Conecuh, but a social media post strongly suggests in big, bold letters that it is.“Country Pleasin’ Sausage, based out of Florence, Mississippi, is also a hickory-smoked pork sausage blend, much like Conecuh,” the article states.
Of course, Alabamians seeing the statement on social media were quick to come to the defense of Conecuh. And, of course, someone with no hog in the fight had to jump into the fray: “I’ve had both and neither are great. Louisiana smoked sausages way ahead of both of these!”
