history
Abby’s diary was published October 5, 2010 and explicitly recounts events of October 1. The family saw the sandwich on the Colchester food-court advertisement but had already eaten, so this is a menu sighting rather than a tasting or purchase. The mother’s description of it as an East Coast specialty is not proof of a regional boundary. [1]
Tony_P supplied a separate firsthand account in February 2019, recalling trying the sausage the previous week. The commenter also remembered it replacing a Polish sausage locally. With neither warehouse nor country specified, that recollection cannot supply a national replacement date or identify which stores carried both products. [3]

The historical mirror and later New York review give different calories on unmatched serving bases. Both source-specific values are retained below; they do not establish a recipe change. [2] [4]

The mirrored sheet revised December 21, 2011 lists “Italian Sausage Sandwich,” item 314044, at 12.6 oz and 700 calories, with 42 g fat, 46 g carbohydrate, 35 g protein and 2,230 mg sodium. The sheet identifies no market or warehouse and is not authenticated against a retailer-hosted original. [4]
Delish’s later review gives 610 calories. Different dates and an unmatched serving basis prevent treating the figures as equivalent panels or inferring a recipe change. [2] [4]
The Colchester diary anchors an explicitly dated local menu sighting. Later accounts add price and reception, while the older nutrition sheet remains qualified evidence. A verified first sale, comprehensive store history and reusable photograph are still missing. Current availability is not inferred from these historical reports. [1] [3] [4]
