Geez Robert leave it alone
yup.... before we were using horses and carriages but now we are using nice computerized cars just one example -Kijek wrote:Ya know what call me old fashion or whatever else you want.
I learned from an off the boat Italian on who taught me how to make dry cured sausage, cappicola, soppressota, and proscutto ( I can't spell ), the old fashion way.
It has been hard for me, to change, but I do understand the inportance of some things like cure #1 & #2 and bac600.
Otherthen that, I just don't get it, what is up with all these additives?
When I learned to make sausage and/or the other meats, I learned to use salt and salt only and that stuff was the best ever.
Today I will use the cures #1 or #2, as well as the bac 600, and besides that I just don't get it.
I feel the industry has built this up to be a money maker for them, selling us all kinds of stuff for making sausage, just like the commercial companies do, why all we need is salt & maybe the cures for safety.
I just made a batch of sausage to dry in my chamber, I used salt, and half the cure needed.
I just tasted it today, the best I ever made, much like my father in-law made.
I just don't get it?
