Well after being a member here and reading many articles, recipes, and peoples stories, Here is on of mine with quite a few recipes from SMF members and their inputs,
My wife's dad whom we all call Opa, came here as a young man in 1953 from Austria. He has over the years told us stories of growing up as a child until he was 20 and left for Canada. He has only made it back to visit his last 2 sisters twice in the last 10 yrs but now due to his ailing health he has memories. A story in particular I was reading here and hit home to make me think. Opa is always talking about the old country sausage and of course beer from home that he doesn't get, So why not make an attempt to try make some for him and we thought lets get him in on the fun. So here's a few pics of the festivities...
.
We ground pork, Some venison we were saving and some elk
Here we made some Romanian sausage called Mititie with some friends as well.
Supper Monday night, 1 with Jeff's rub and 1 with our rub,
.
Sorry no pulled shots too many hungry mouths, greasy fingers and beverages...
Tuesday we made Knockwurst, Kasekrainer, Beirwurst, Weisswurst, and Bratwurst for the Old country style sausages
Welll it was a long coup;e days, But Opa enjoyed it and was quite happy with the effort. I have to Give a huge Thx to Cranky Buzzard for the recipes and direction. Once Opa has tried them all and given us his reviews I will update them with the cooked up shots.
