APPLICATION EXERCISE Your menu planning team has added a new Cajun and Creole menu item, and it requires Andouille sausage. One of your approved meat vendors says he can obtain it fresh for you but a minimum order, specified in a specific number of pounds, must be purchased at any given time.

You are also aware that there is at least one specialty line vendor in the area that can sell a fresh product in smaller amounts for a higher price. 1. What must you think about and what procedures should you use to determine the quality of sausage that you should buy? 2. What procedures should you use to determine from which vendor you should purchase the product? 98 APPLICATION EXERCISE Your menu planning team has added a new Cajun and Creole menu item, and it requires Andouille sausage.
