Thanks for sharing the link. I like that recipe. Now you went and got me started! I love morcella and have made it several times. I made some a couple months ago, and have a few tips and observations. - It is very easy to make, but when it comes to filling the casings, it's nice to have help from a ...

No, I don't use soy protein or milk powder, and I've never had an adhesion problem. Maybe that's the ticket after all?

Thanks for your answer about the tang. I think you are right!

I'm late to this thread but it's interesting to me for a couple of reasons. First, I make kabanosy pretty frequently, using collagen casings, and I've never had a problem with adherence. I use just meat, salt, a little table sugar, #1 cure and spices (essentially the Marianski formula). So maybe the...

Hey Redzed you have inspired me with those beautiful turkey sausages. I'm going to try them out with chicken. My daughter and I have been making room for new chickens in her coop, and the hold hens we are processing are stacking up in the freezer. They are tough, but have great flavor. I made my fir...

Thanks for all the beautiful pictures - you are really doing it right. Glad you tried the andouilette as the sooner you get that chapter behind you, the better! Sorry about the 15EU though. I hope you had a nice dessert. As to all those beautiful shots of cheeses and sausages....should you really be...

Chef R. - I've got the Cabella's (AKA Tre Spade) 3/4 hp grinder. It was something of a splurge because for my needs a $100 type would work fine I am sure. Still, it is really good and I love it. BTW, a foot switch is great to have, but don't pay $50 for the one from Cabella's. You can get the exact ...

Redzed - did you have any andouillette? I was there a couple years ago and choked some down. Had to try it, but concluded that it was the first sausage I wouldn't have twice. :shock:

Nowadays a lot of people don't want the head and just leave it with the butcher. If that is the case in your situation you may get a bonus and get the whole head. Hope so. Lots of neat things you can do with the head and free meat makes things taste better somehow. Here here! I take my pigs to be s...

Sorry I didn't notice this request until today! Rick, are you looking for a dried chourico recipe, or a pre-cooked / smoked sausage like linguica? I've got a linguica recipe I like, if you're interested in that. I've made Spanish chorizo but not Portguese dried chourico. Have a morcella recipe too, ...

Hats off to you Butterbean! Any mortadella experimentation is worthy of praise and this one sounds like a winner. I'm sure whatever formula you used is great but I just want to let folks know that Norcal Kid's formula on this site is excellent. Cheers from a mort addict, Jeff PS - I remain loyal to ...

Thanks Chris - this is something I have been wondering about for a long time. I really like making sandwich meats like mortadella and cotto, not to mention liver sausages, and want to get better at emulsifying though I doubt I'll ever find room or $$ for a bowl chopper. I just bought a new blade for...

Hi Red - sounds like a wonderful recipe. I'm thinking of making something similar using pork and chicken, as we've got some roosters in the freezer that are a bit on the tough side. Regarding emulsifying up to certain temperatures - is taking the temp up to the maximum allowable advantageous, or is ...

Hi Spud - I had a meal of a lifetime at Figueira Rubaiyat. It's very pricey but worth it if you're up for a splurge. What amazed me was the variety of the meats on the menu. Do you want your steak from Brazil, Argentina, or other some other county? I went with a friend from Mexico who was familiar w...

I have a Kirby bucket mixer, which I power with a low speed Milwaukee drill - the kind you use for mixing joint compound (AKA mud). It works well, though I usually end up just using my hands for small, 5 lb. batches. It does a good job and saves the poor hands. I believe Kirby stopped making the sta...
