virgil Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Some of you guys have raved about Costanza's. Their website looks great and I was thinking of taking the long drive to have sausage made if I take a doe in the early season. Just checked their site again and it says they're not taking any venison until November. FYI. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkeyfeathers Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Keep frozen until a November drop off. You won’t be disappointed in the product! Keep in mind with the fresh sausage as they don’t freeze it when done you need to pick up order within a couple days of call saying it’s ready. So with that In mind get a couple guys to go together so when called someone can go grab it. Cash only . We had 4 of us go last year and muled 2 more other guys coolers. Make it a fun trip. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy K Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 The taste is really good, the casings are as thick as a pool liner just so you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moog5050 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Their hot Italian sausage was too hot for my family. But they do make some good products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlammerhirt Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 The taste is really good, the casings are as thick as a pool liner just so you know.Casings seemed alot thicker on the smoked products vs. the fresh. That may be the way alot of places do it.....I am not really sure. I will say their slim sticks with cheese are in high demand in my house. My boys have convinced myself or my dad to dedicate a doe towards slim sticks only this season..... if we are lucky enough to harvest one!Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A whole deer in sticks prolly cost you $600 lolMy favorite so far is the Blueberry Breakfast Sausage and Reuben Sausages. I’d drive the hour just for the blueberry! The other couple things were good but I’ll try a couple new items this year if lucky enough to shoot some deerz!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomad Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I started going to Tony IDk 25 years ago ? He was working out of his garage off Bay rd , been every year since . He was venison products only at that time ,now the newer retail shop is so popular with the masses , that the shop takes orders for those folks to stock up before closing and switching over to venison , it takes time to fill those ,hence the Nov 1 st opening for venison. He’s so popular there’s often a 6 page or so list of guys wanting to buy any venison products that aren’t picked up . Surprisingly some drop off meat, order but never come back to get it or pay .

I could easily bring them an entire deer.. slim jims, smoked jalapeno cheddar sausages, pepperoni, blueberry maple breakfast, etc... But that would be quite an expensive tab. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s what sometimes happens , guys order a lot , then their wife sees the bill ,or they spend the money they set aside and never go back . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir-diealot Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I do not like to get venison processed like that normally, I would rather just have steaks, roasts and a small amount of burger but Costanza's hot Italian sausage is the closest I have had to the hot Italian sausage I grew up eating from Scapelliti's in Lowertown in Lockport, NY where I grew up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hock3y24 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) I cant believe how much people pay to have stuff made, you could afford all the equipment to do it at home in 1-2 years lol.

Robhuntandfish Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Their stuff is excellent but i prefer to make my own just cause i like to. But have had the rueben and the maple blueberry thanks to TF and its excellent. And thanks to Lawdwaz - for an awesome fishing snack out on Keuka!

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The breakfast sausage that everyone raves about is not my favorite , between the maple and the blueberries all that sugar burns easily and blackens the outside quickly. Again ,great taste but the crunchy outside turns me off as much as a sausage cracking when I bite into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take my deer to get processed locally. Then take stew meat and roasts which are the last things to leave the freezer to Costanzas. Making into things that are now the first things to get eaten. 3 deer worth of roasts n stew was a large amount of Costanzas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
