Anyone have a MidWest style ring Balonga recipe?

Not sure if I've got the gumption to make this, but it sure makes for fascinating reading.

Look guys...
I asked for a midwestern style simply because I did not know what to call it.

You called it right . It's comes down to regional immigrant influence in my opinion . You are well aware of that with the dry cured stuff . That can be like the telephone game . Changes a little bit each time the story is told . So in your case I would say your buddy needs to remember the spice profile to get started , then he can taste and tweak from there .
