    boudin craving again

    You don't HAVE to add livers, it is just traditional. I like the livers, myself. Boudin is formulated alot like Jitrnice -- which means it would be Bohemian Boudin -- Ha!

    New trial of chicken Italian sausage

    Yes, the vast majority of fresh sausages are poached in hot (not boiling) water, and then browned on a grill, or skillet -- like brats. Italian, white kielbasa, klobasa, thuringer brats, etc, are done this way, typically. Your pictures sure look tasty!!

    European sausages?

    Some Czech words you may want to remember: (These are spelled the way they sound to us Americans -- spelling is not correct): Doep-shay = Thank You Doe-bray Den, Noetz, Rahno = Good Day, Night, Morning Djye-koo-yeh = You're welcome Pivo = Beer Chair-veny = Red, Chair-ney = Black, Moe-dra =...

    European sausages?

    Well, in the Czech Republic, klobasa is the equivalent to the German "Wurst", and the English "sausage." You will need to have an adjective to describe more exactly which one you want.

    Fresh sausage herbs and spice advice

    I have nose that says the white pepper with barnyard -- always did. I bought some recently, and was reminded, and then this thread. Yep. But it is only in my nose. I like the effects in sausage. Did you know that white pepper was the standard until about 75 years or more ago? Black pepper...

    Fresh sausage herbs and spice advice

    Regarding Marjoram, and Oregano -- the two plants are technically related, BUT they have vastly different flavor profiles. Oregano for southern european things, marjoram for German and slavic things. I wholeheartedly agree. If you leave it out, you miss it. You put it in, you just don't pick...
