    Pennsylvania Dutch Bologna

    Just a quick footnote to this pictorial: I took a chub out of the freezer this past weekend, thawed it in the refrigerator overnight and gave it a try. I'm not sure if the elapsed time (a month or so) gave the spices a chance to equalise, or if some other factor came into play, but it seemed to...

    Question for Porkert meat grinder owners

    I was reading the literature/owner's manual that came with mine (#10), and it made reference to a bushing that is fitted toward the back of the worm/auger. Mine doesn't seem to have this, and I've never seen a grinder with one; granted, all the grinders I've seen have been 30 or 40 years old, so...

    First time using hog casings

    Ii got home yesterday and saw that while I was at work, the Beautiful Mrs. Tas had actually read my shopping list this time, and got some hog casings for me at the local grocery in havre, which is 25 miles from home. I left a note on the list advising her to talk to the meat department guy if...

    Great service from Smokehouse Products!

    I bought a package of "Polish Sausage Mix" for 5 pounds of meat from Smokehouse Products (formerly Luhr-Jensen): Normally, I like to make and try my own recipes, but I'm a fan of the 'Chief smokers, and figured this would be worth a try ~ Anyway, I noticed that the package seal wasn't quite...
