Just look at all these gorgeous and intelligent new members! :lol: Goodness, they HAVE to be smarter than average bears or they wouldn`t have joined us on Wedliny Domowe eh? Welcome aboard folks! First there is Madeline from England and he`s makin` up a batch of "bangers n` mash" for breakfast! Next, joining us from the southwest tip of the Baja is rcirclec of Todos Santos, Mexico. Gosh, who wouldn`t like to be lounging around on that beach at this time of year? Last, but not least, is HollySzynka from Florida where he just possibly could be enjoying the beach also. What`s in your smokers guys? How about telling us about your "handles" in the Hyde Park forum topic? We`re glad you`re here.

Best Wishes,

Welcome aboard folks! We have DAS from Albany, New York - the city having the oldest city charter that is still in effect in the United States (1686).
Next, there is franknap from Meriden, CT - home of "Craig`s Castle". Frank, do you have a good recipe for cervelatpolse?

A warm Welcome from a fellow newbie.
I look forward to reading any posts that you contribute.
I am relatively new to sausage making. If I can be of any help, do not hesitate to ask. There is plenty old timers on here that have a wealth of information, its just a matter of how much you bribe them to get it out of them. :mrgreen:
I am joking of course. This is a great place to hang out and learn. The biggest plus for me is that I will eat better quality home made food just from what I learn here. The older you get the more a good meal appeals to you.

Hi Chuck(wagon)

I wish i could help with a recipe for cervelatpolse but I do not.

I am getting a book called The Art of Making Fermented Sausages by Stanley Marianski, Adam Marianski.
I will take a look in there for you!

Thanks,

Fank

Found one! Here you go Chuck(wagon)
Cervelatpolse Or Danish Beef And Pork Sausage

For this recipe, use 25 pounds each of beef and pork, twelve and a half pounds of pork fat cut in small dice, one and a half pounds of salt, 30 gram. powdered saltpetre, 50 gram. ground white pepper, 50 gram. powdered sugar, 13 gram. each of ground ginger and nutmeg. Remove all sinews, then chop the beef and pork together quite fine, adding the seasonings towards the finish, then add the diced fat and thoroughly mix. When mixed placed into the filler and fill TIGHTLY into beef casings, tying into 18-inch lengths; hang in the air for 24 hours, then smoke in very warm smoke till the skins are brown; then boil them until the sausage is as elastic as an indiarubber ball and will bounce if dropped on the table. This is a sure proof that the sausage is thoroughly cooked. When done, dry them and glaze the skins. Serve as in the first recipe, in slices, as an appetizer or Hors d'oeuvre.

Pardon me for horning in here Frank but this sounds fanatastic. I'm going to reduce the quantities and give it a try. Tomorrow is 'S' day. I intend to try several small batch recipes gleaned from our members :idea:

Today I tried one of Chuckwagon's famous bean recipes. it looked innocuous but when I turned the exhaust fans on the neighbourhood dogs started barking. Next thing I know, there is someone pounding on the front door. I answered it to find a fireman with two backups. Apparently a neighbour had complained about 'noxious fumes' emanating from our home. I invited them in and told them about how I had come upon the recipe. After warning me about internet usage they agreed to taste the conncoction. That's when the ambulances arrived.
These guys are proud pf their 'firehouse chili' but showed their true Canadian character (and guts) by succumbing to a 'family' recipe for "Franks and Beans."

I profer this warning to all citizens of theworld, particularly North Americans who live in the north, east or anywhere but the southern US: DO NOT FOLLOW THE RECIPES OF THESE DEMENTED SOUTHERNERS. Their palates are devoid of normal sensory receptors.
The police and lawyers have just left, the dogs are still howling and I'm writing to Mr. Scoville. If Poblanos and Jalapenos are only fifth and sixth on his scale, the 7th to 13th should be sold only with fire extinguishers.

Welcome to the forum and please keep sharing. :mrgreen:

Hi Frank,

Thank you very much for the great recipe! I'm going to rustle up a batch of "Frank's Fabulous Cervelatpolse" tomorrow morning. This stuff looks terrific. Would you mind if I posted it in "Sausages" on the forum? Thanks for sharing! :wink:

And now, can you see what a "sissy" that Steelchef is? Really!!! Afraid of a little gas. :shock:
And he thinks I"M getting old? Shucks, he's getting so old, his friends that actually made it to heaven are beginning to think HE went the other way!

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

Yeah! We are pretty wimpy when it comes to that intense heat. I don't speak for all Canadians but my crowd is in agreement.
You win this one! :twisted:
