Hi smoke addicts, gristle grinders, casing crammers, and meat munchers. Just a note to remind you that Project B has begun. You can find it in the "For Beginners" forum at the top of the page in the "stickies" section. Here's a quick link: http://wedlinydomowe.pl/en/viewtopic.php?t=5951
Remember, it's good luck to yell, "Yeee Haaww!" before you begin.

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

My oldest brother was a pattern maker. He would make wooden patterns that were used to create the molds for the iron castings that are used to assemble those old useful tools.
The pattern maker, the iron founder, the machinist and the painter all had a hand in making one of those.

Same here.

The village I grown up, wasn't on the map. There was no any kind of store nearby. They lived off the land, they had what they grown. Sometime, rather always, they traded things, helping each other.
At that time, WWII just ended, there was no stone unturned.
It was very much the same thing in Poland too. Or Europe for that matter.

I started to work when I was 5 years old, I was leading the horse in between the rows of corn, grape etc.....Today that's illegal, but so is so many other things.

.....and after the hyper inflation........

Not illegal on the farm within the family. Just illegal to hire a kid that young to work around animals or machinery. Kids any age can work on a farm by hand. My kids were mowing lawns for hire by the time they were 12.

In Europe lots of man died in the wars, so kids had to work too, to stay alive.
Money was useless, they were bartering. Money is good only as long people trust it.
At that time there was no good reason to pay attention to laws/rules.
And than came the communist, after that everybody was equal/even, nobody had anything........

Hyperinflation link.......http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperinflation

It is good to know the good old ways....in case the bad old days return.

Kids are very lucky today.
They don't know, that those "good-old days" are right now.

Being broke is usually temporary and you can work your way out. You just have to be able to produce a little more than you consume. Sometimes that can be very difficult. In America no one has to stay poor forever. That is why people will come here at any cost.

Some people were working for daily wages. If they spent it at ones, they could buy 12 eggs for it. If waited till noon, only 6 eggs....but weighted till evening, could not get anything.

I wonder what the egg sellers were buying.

Kabanosy is traditionally stuffed into 22mm sheep casings, collagen casings are too tough for kabanosy.
Kabanosy is one of the few sausages where you don't want to recreate a good primary bind, just mix enough to combine the ingredients well.
