Looks good Rick, I'm really interested in this "Black forest technique" you have applied to the last couple post. It really darkens the stix a lot. I know its a secret but hows about a hint?

Nepas, I am impressed by your productivity but some recipes would contribute a lot to the forum and I doubt the competition would harm you. So far you have told us what wonderful sausage you make in marvelously large quantity. But you haven't offered much helpful advise or technique.

Nepa's has a recipe vault that only he has the key for. Now maybe we can talk Keymaster since he is a locksmith into making us some keys for said vault

The combination to the vault is as follows: Left- compliments, Right- questions, Left- Answers and replies, Right the vault will open and you will get a excellent recipe.

It took me ten years to get a bread and butter pickle recipe from my wifes grandmother, I have about 8 from nepas in the past 2 years

I read today that there are about 250 published and proven recipes for sausage. When I have encountered secretive people in the past I have simply worked around them and found that I always come out ahead.
When I first had opportunity to review this book: http://www.amazon.com/Charcuterie-Craft ... 0393058298
I was impressed with how much print the authors devoted to telling me how wonderful they are. That anyone would expend that much paper and ink on ego and not on quality content bewilders me.
Stanley and Adam Marianski Just get right to the heart of the matter of sausage making and meat curing and say little about how clever they are. They have however written one of the more scholarly books that you can find that is written for someone that is not a forth year foods major.
