Oysters

• In "Bistro Cooking," author Patricia Wells tracks down meals served at various bistros and cafes. At the Happy Oyster Restaurant in Bordeaux, France, raw oysters on the half shell are served with cooked spicy sausage patties. The method to eat this appetizer ensures that the sausages complement instead of masking the oyster flavor. Eat a raw oyster, then eat a bite of a spicy sausage patty to offset the salty taste of the oyster. Finish with a sip of chilled white wine to refresh your palate before repeating.
  
  

Biscuits and Gravy

• Spicy sausage patties do double duty when served with biscuits and gravy. In "The Best Kept Secrets of Healthy Cooking," spicy sausage patties are crumbled into cream gravy and spooned over split buttermilk biscuits. For extra flavor, place a spicy sausage patty over each of the biscuit halves before topping with sausage gravy. The creaminess of the gravy helps to tame the spiciness in the sausage patties, but the sausage spices keep the dish of biscuits and white gravy from tasting bland.
  
  

French Toast and Fruit

• A bed and breakfast staple is a breakfast of French toast, fresh fruit and spicy sausage patties. This is the breakfast served at the Colonial Pines Inn in North Carolina. The French toast served with the spicy sausage at that establishment is stuffed with a layer of cream cheese and blueberries and served with maple syrup. For serving at home, use your favorite recipe for French toast or opt for a frozen version to save time.
  
  

Tostadas

• Think of a tostada as an open-faced, flat taco. In "The 'I Don't Know How to Cook Book' Mexican; 300 Everyday Easy Mexican Recipes -- That Anyone Can Make at Home!" cookbook, a recipe is presented for tostadas from Guadalajara. Crumble and cook the sausage patties and arrange them on top of a fried, flat corn tortilla spread with refried beans. Pile on top of the sausage chopped onions, guacamole, shredded lettuce and shredded cheese. The guacamole cools the spice in the sausage, but as a Mexican entree, it needs to have some spiciness in it from the sausage.
