Despite plumbing the depths of the swing-top freezer, I've never located Oak Grove's green onion sausage, but the "country style" sage version ($6.95 per pound) browned up well for breakfast. I was less successful with the scrapple (1 lb.; $3.50), a Pennsylvania Dutch favorite that begins as a mush of pork leftovers and cornmeal that's condensed into a brick, to be sliced and fried. Overeager defrosting and sloppy slicing led me to make a hash of things, and that's being unfair to hash. Another attempt to follow.
Occasionally Oak Grove also sets out a table of baked goods; one brisk day, a pumpkin whoopee pie ($2) was very creamy and nicely spiced.
