    The big advantage is one handed and one person crimping on large sausage-----bologna and summer sausage----helps if ring pliers are spring loaded. Blaise

    SALT-----And the CRUNCHIES

    Without going into a history of salt -----added ingredients, or how they are made. I am referring to the "new fad sea salt craze". In particular the Himalayan mined pink salt----from the Himalayan mountains of Pakistan and from Utah, U.S.A.  These are the salts that will not completely dissolve...

    SALT-----And the CRUNCHIES

    Once again, this is more for the less experienced.   I used to think--salt is salt-----then the sea salt fad started, with all the health claims----good and bad. Not going to discuss that.   If you ever took a bite of sausage or any food for that matter, and hit the "Crunchies" ----sort of...

    Texas beef smoked sausage

    The two groups of people that know beef------the Texans----and the Jewish people.  I grew up around around some Jewish families-----the best roast beef and sausage imaginable.
