Costco Polish Dog

An adult child of a friend of mine has been working in London for many years. Every time he came home for a family visit, he asked his parents to take him to Costco and have Polish dog in its food court. He apparently has a fond memory of eating his favorite Polish sausage there since his childhood.

Everyone knows that Costco’s food court offers, besides other food items, an amazing deal on a Polish sausage with a drink for just $1.50. The price hasn’t changed in many years. But this is not the only reason I have it every time we shop there. Like my friend’s child, I simply loved the taste of Polish sausage when we were there. It has somewhere between 540 – 570 calories and can fill you up like a meal, before or after you do the shopping.

Now come the "nutrition" facts:
