A question came up over the weekend during an extended malt beverage session with some friends.
Why exactly is it called "summer" sausage?
(If you think the question is strange you should've heard some of the theories that got thrown out. [:p])

Summer sausage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Summer sausage is the general term for any sausage that can be kept without the need of refrigeration. Summer sausage is usually a mixture of pork and other meat such as beef and venison. Summer sausage can be either dried or smoked, and curing ingredients can vary significantly, although some sort of curing salt is almost always used. Seasonings may include different types of sugar, mustard seeds, black pepper and garlic salt.
In spite of its name, summer sausage actually tends to be made in the autumn, during traditional hunting seasons in North America and Europe. Summer sausage, like all sausages, makes use of leftover scrap meat and organ meat that would otherwise be wasted.
A particular kind of summer sausage is popular in North Dakota, occasionally containing cheese in addition to pork and beef meat. This type of summer sausage is smoked rather than dried and is generally best kept and eaten cold, though it can be cooked.
Why was I not invited? I like malt beverages and sausage.
It was what you might call a spontaneous event.[;)]
Think they have about 40+ kinds. Not bad for a mom and pop store that smokes Game, makes there own sausages, hams etc. Now I am hungry. [:D][:p]

My ex wife sure knew her sausage. She couldn't get enough.......
Great Grandma used to make it.
They make some venison jalapeno and cheese summer sausage that is out of this world. Give me a box of crackers, block of cheese, roll of summer sausage and some beer....don't talk to me for a few hours because I won't be talking back.
