Bierschinken, mortadella, mettwurst, and more

[crankybuzzard]

I'm going to try some things that are different for me this weekend. Bierschinken, mortadella, and mettwurst are 3 sausages I like to eat, but have never attempted to make.

Also going to try a breasola in a Umai bag. Should be a fun and interesting weekend for sure!

What ever meats are left over will be blended into snack sticks of some sort.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FOLLOWS:

Cutting back fat into 1/4" x 1/4" pieces is a PITA!

This concludes announcement.

LOL, so no grind, right? Just cut it and mix it in. I think cutting pork butt into 1" cubes is a pain, I wouldn't have the patience for this.....NOPE!

Looking forward to how it all comes out. Bierschinken is on my to-do list, just haven't had the time. How large a casing are you going to use?
Good luck!

Mortadella, mangia! I see a killer muffuletta sandwich in your future.

I'm in.

You guys sure know your sausages. I just haven't tried a lot of different ones. Might have to make some small batches of different ones for experimentation purposes just to learn what they taste like.

That's the bad part, I didn't even get to crack one open!

Neighbor across the street (82) had a medical emergency. We had to stay with his wife who is severely disabled and then I had to go get their son from the airport.

Neighbor has a broken hip but will be ok.

But, back at it now.
