Jackson’s Deli

Stopped into the market with kidlets in tow over the holidays to pick up some yummy goodness for a New Year’s Eve gathering. Jackson’s was offering some free samples of sausage with blueberries and my sometimes hesitant to try new foods kids were all over them. They loved them so we ended up buying some of the blueberry sausages and about 4 other sausage varieties after browsing their enticing selections. The staff were friendly and the process seamless as the line up we were in moved fairly quickly. Definitely a place we will visit again during our next trip to the market.

Jackson’s Deli is a mainstay in the Kingsland Market, filled with all things meat thats cured and smoked to absolute yummy perfection.
Sausages, deli meats, meat sticks of all sorts, and so on, it’s a little haven for those who happen to love and worship charcuterie as the fine art it is. I can go on about the andouille sausages, or the different types of other cold cuts and salty protein goodness in their display. But that really doesn’t give it justice. When considering that it is from the Market, it’s all fresh, flavourful and utterly fabulous to feast on for fests with friends and family. (Yes, I know there were a few groans when you read that last sentence, but their wares are really quite good.)
But don’t just go there for the meats alone (of which they always offer a superb savory sampling selection of salamis and sausages on the side), try them out for their sandwiches. Yep, they offer freshly made deli sandwiches on the spot, always great for a lunch or a quick take out for those on the road (I noticed a few paramedics doing the same the other day).
Pricing is quite reasonable, the quality is there and definately the taste. Maybe pick up a selection for your New Year’s bash?
By the way, I picked up andouille from here just the other day and paired it with nearby Orca Bay’s crawfish. The heat from the sausage gave just the right amount of spice and salt to the boil. Utterly fantastic in flavour, it brightened up the dish in undescribable ways that anyone looking for that cajun flair would love. I would definately suggest you try the same!
