    Sausage patties texture

    Quote: Is it the actual TEXTURE of your patties that you don't like?  I ran into the same issue with my breakfast sausage as well - it came out more as "little pork patties that tasted like sausage" rather than actual breakfast sausage texture (I use Jimmy Dean as my reference texture).  I keep...

    Butt fat? Fat butts?

    @Bearcarver- You have a Costco around?  Sam's?  That seems to be close to "normal" member warehouse pricing for cryo pack boneless butts.

    Butt fat? Fat butts?

    I find that the bone in butts that I get from Albertson's are around 80/20.  These boneless ones from Costco looked closer to 87/13 or 90/10.  They were surprisingly lean, though as I mentioned, I wouldn't buy an overly fatty butt if I was just going to do a pork roast for dinner so I'd call it...

    Well, last week's andouille and kielbasa are now a memory, so had to make some more.  I considered last week to be cutting my teeth, so decided to push my poor little Brinkman to the, uh, brink, man. Kielbasa was the popular sausage last week, so made a 6# batch this week.  Added a little extra...

    Butt fat? Fat butts?

    Huh.  Based on the replies so far, I obviously like a fattier mixture than most.  I was just surprised at how lean the two pack boneless ones were and how much fat I had to add to them to get 'em to "look about right."  Is there a point where it's "too much fat?"  I've had no complaints so...
