    before my parent died, we used to have a big tamale making as a family each Christmas. It was pretty much an assembly line. Christmas meal was always a big mexican food feast.

        Summer sausage or any long sausage that hangs down when you hold it by the end...

                        I'm about as Texan as they come and I've never heard of "hangdown." It sounds like something that happens on a muggy summer day wearing boxer shorts.

                        My family makes several hundred pounds of sausage a year. I think if I started calling it hangdown they might not include me anymore.

                        Must be a regional thing. Like dewberry pie. Most folks around here wouldn't know what a dewberry was. Guess that's an east Texas thing.

                              Yep. Pure Texan here as well.

                              I’ve never heard food sausage called “hangdown”, never seen a dewberry (that I know of) and if you ordered sweet tea where I grew up, the waitress would point to the sugar shaker in the middle of the table…

                              East Texas is strong in this thread.

                                First time I ever heard someone say they were eating "Hangdown" was by 2 hunters we camped by from Tennessee. We were elk hunting in Colorado near Williams Creek reservoir in 1982. I remember us using the term "Hangtown" at work for years after since one of the hunters I was with was also a coworker for about 25 years.
