There is a place in Clinton that has the best sausage ever. I can't recall the name right off though. Clinton is kinda in the area you mentioned.
You are probably talking about LUNDYS pork products and that may be what the OP is alluding to. Their products sell all over south eastern NC in the Piggly Wigglys and local type stores.They are good BTW.

The best sausage I've ever had comes from Sumrell's Country Sausage in Ayden. It is a local sausage that is processed right in Ayden I believe. When you cook it you don't get gobs and gallons of grease out of it.
The best coiled sausage in NC comes from Hallsboro, NC - you may be suprised if you make the trip and they are sold out - we pick this sausage up every Thanksgiving and it will bring you back to your childhood! My grandparents use to raise their own Beef and Pork and this takes me home. Silly question - does anyone know where I can find a deal on a "real" smoker- would like to have a gas / wood combo with side burners for Oyster roasts etc...
When we lived in Wilmington, we use to buy Clark's Smoked Sausage. We always bought the large smoked ropes, but the fresh sausage are good too. They are located in Rocky Point, just north of Wilmington. There's also a Penders Packing that makes sausage in Rocky Point, and there's a Wells Pork Sausage company in Burgaw and another Clarks there too. A lot of stores in the area use to sell Clarks, Penders, Wells, Lundys, and Jesse Jones sausages. Penders and Wells were both good back in the 1980's. Jones Sausage use to be good until Dean Foods bought them out. The same is true of Lundy's since Smithfield bought them out. My favorite sausage is still Clarks.
I would love some help. During my younger years, going to my dad's hometown of Rigelwood in SE North Carolina was marked by tasting the best sausage I've EVER had. This sausage was kinda like a large link that you could put on a bun and very juicy. Anyway I remember when we were down there we would stock up by buying it from a small store (I'm thinking around Kenansville/Warsaw) and take it back to VA with us. Well, now my dad passed away earlier in the year and where we got the sausage from died with him.
I actually work with someone who is from the Kenansville/Warsaw area and she directed me to Carolina Packers which looks very close to the thing I'm looking for. Carolina Packers - Smoked Sausage However I want some more possibilities.
What I know:
- This store was in Eastern NC in between Greenville and Wilmington
- I'm thinking Jimmy's could have been a possible name
Anyway if i could get some more avenues to try I'd be grateful.
You are correct. The name of the Sausage is Jimmy's smoke sausage. I'm originally from Garland, NC and I have been trying to find it for years. My mom said she thinks the company either got bought out or moved to lower NC. Wilmington or close to SC border. If I find some I will let you know.
That place in Clinton NC is Mr. Jordan's. It was across the street from the Piggly Wigglys and up from the Case International tractor place. He sold the Jimmy's smoke Sausage. That was the only place that we got it from growing up.

Hello. The sausage you are looking for is now owned by Pender Packing co. and is in Burgaw NC. Originally Lewis sausage co. They made the best smoked sausage I have ever had. They have recently sold out to Pender packing I am told. I think their sausage has had some changes because I have recently emailed them to tell them so. I did make a trip to their facility in Burgaw and purchased a 10lb box thinking that maybe fresh instead of from a store where it was probably frozen might make the difference but it didn't. It is not bad but it is not the same. That is my opinion.
Did you get the original. My Mom went and picked some up and I was disappointed. When we went back I asked for the original and they had it. I went home and she cooked it. I was almost in tears. I bought about 6 packages of it, because they didn't have it in the big box. I will go again and see if they got it in the big box.
I know this is not where you are talking about but the Smiths Red and White in Douches,NC makes their sausage in front of you in the store. They have the best meat around. So it may not be the one you are talking about but I am sure it will match it.
Douches NC ?!
I think oldraider must mean Dortches , lol .
