Well, if there’s two words that just naturally belong together, it’s “Vienna” and “Barbeque.”

The absurdity of this dish is right there in the recipe: you’re supposed to make your own barbecue sauce instead of sampling the 428 varieties found in the average grocery store. I suppose you could, but if you’re so inclined you’re the type who A) has a special secret recipe, and B) DOESN’T PUT IT ON VIENNA SAUSAGES.

If you’re really inclined to do it yourself, here’s the recipe for Vienna Sausages. Warning: requires two dozen “sheep casings.” Which are exactly what you think they are.
