T F 1. The words "Wedliny Domowe" mean homemade sausage making in the Polish language. Hey Trail Boss, I know this might be picky, but wędliny domowe does not translate entirely to homemade sausage . Wędliny is an overarching term that does not have an English language equivalent. It includes all p...

Just a note to let you guys know that my post about the Chanterelle Liver Sausage I crafted last month was featured in the current edition of Fungifama, the newsletter of the South Vancouver Island Mycological Society.

Hey Walleye those sausages look great! Great colour on the kielbasa and perfect texture on the summer sausage. When are you going to open up a shop and give Oskar and the Fellinger boys some competition?

Go Riders! (They sure won ugly today!)

Thanks Ray. The deed is done, I ordered the Pro 100. Hopefully it will perform to my expections as it has to yours. I am also impressed that the temp range starts at 60°F. That means that I should also be able to use it as a fermentation chamber. Now I have to find the time to travel to the mainland...

I have been unhappy with this smoker and will returning it to Costco. It works well only at high heat levels, so it's useless for doing sausage. The wood will not start to smoke unless its at least 180F. I tried using the Amazen smoker in it but there were issues with keeping it lit. Woks well for s...

Hey Redzed Does the meter probe feel like the glass might break easily? I have read that they are quite fragile. And do you need to calibrate it each time you want to use it? thanks Toby HiToby, Not sure whether it looks like it might break, it's probably quite delicate but I don't have any experie...

I am looking at making some mushroom and cheese bratwurst for the first time. There are a great number of commercial producers out there that use swiss cheese in the mix but I want to use cheddar, as I have had a pound of the high heat stuff taking up space in my fridge for a while. Anyone use the c...

she told me she did not like foreign food, onions and garlic. Needless to say we split up shortly afterwards. I also remember when I was growing up in a small city on the Canadian prairies, some folks would make fun of foods with garlic and of the people who prepared them. I think we have come a lo...

Hey Devo, Let's not petty politics derail what we have here. We don't have to agree with everything, whether it's politics, religion or sausage. :lol: When I get together with some of my buddies (especially the Polish guys) we have some fierce arguments and disagreements, but never take things perso...

Hey Crusty Jan! Happy Birthday!
Another year, another sausage.
Have a good one!
Chris

It is recommended that Cure #1 be used with LHP. Is there a reason why you used #2?

Devo those salami sticks look good enough to eat! :lol: Good job! I have been looking at making them for a while, but I think I will use #32 hog casings. Which culture did you use? I can't quite make it out from the pic. 12 hours fermentation is quite fast, is there much tang in the taste? What were...

Well, sorry, but the only good thing I can say about hand crank meat grinder is, that it's useable at times of power shortages.

Hey Sawhorse! Happy birthday! Hope you had a great day celebrating today and your wife did all the cookin'!

BTW, you are a young pup!, three months younger than me.

Will mushroom sausage be on the list?
