Chopped Ham Loaf .

[chopsaw]

Indeed! The potato starch did seem to work well an with no gelatinous effect. Looks great man.

Thanks bud . It works good , and stays together if you fry a piece .

Many moons ago when touring the brewery at Busch Gardens Williamsburg I saw them cleaning the vats and all of beechwood strips on the floor. I thought, hmm, I wonder if that would be good for smoking meat. Say! You live in right by the biggest Busch plant. Hmm.

Yup . I worked on a 10 story addition down there back in '94 . 26 foot decks . Hung over the side of that thing 300 feet in the air in January . I ain't ever goin back . Lol .

Love that "custom" mold! The ham loaf looks darn nice, too. I just went to Owen's website, may have to put in an order.

Thanks Lynn . The German bologna is one of my favorites from them .

Love the loaf, looks like a perfect blend and bind

Going to Florida next month, will have to pick up a couple of those custom molds, lol

Going to be a summer project.
How much ham cubes to the sausage binder do you think?

Goal is for it to look like your Krakow but taste like a spicy easter ham.

The Krakow was 50 / 50 .


The chopped ham was about the same . I know the grind was 1 pound . The chunks were close to that . 50 / 50 is a good target . Cure separate .

Ha ha , would love that, ... so a working vacation

When I drove to Florida about 5 years ago , border folks asked where we were going and what I did for a living. Than asked if they could search the van
( Roadtrec camper ) to make sure I had no tools and was not going down to work in the States. Like thats what I want to do with only 3 weeks off.

But the joke was on me, SIL had a list of things to fix , for us staying at her place. Ha Ha love family

Depending on what part of Florida you're going to , you'll see a bunch of Missouri plates .

Good looking stuff right there..

Thanks bud . I saw you're olive loaf and was heading in that direction until I had to use up the ham chunks . Olive loaf or honey loaf up next .

Jumping off the ship in Miami and just renting a car and driving around for a week, going to make Kissimmee and St Cloud home base

That is simply incredible Rich. So creative yet seemingly so simple and it had to be absolutely outstanding. I'd be all over a few pounds of that...probably no sandwich or anything. Just eat and enjoy. Thanks for sharing sir!!

Hi john, we are getting into Kissimmee late on the 18th, and the Silver Spurs rodeo is all over on the 19th , I miss it again
This is twice that I missed it , well it is still on for the 19th , but only 3 hours and I cannot find out on their web site what is going on on the last day. But probably just the closing down shows. Really liked to have seen the bull riding , but that is earlier in the week, did not know about the tracktor pull either. Try to go to most of them around here in the summer.

If I left that fancy custom mold in my fridge and my wife opened it in the morning she’d yell, “I can’t believe it’s not butter!”

Sorry. Someone had to do the dad joke here. I felt obligated. It was too easy.

 

[DRKsmoking]

Won't see any Mo. plates down there . Destin yes , Miami , no .

Yes just picking up car in Miami, than off to Orlando area, maybe Coco beach for some fishing

There's a few misery uh Missouri plates around here in central FL. Nowhere near what we saw up in the gulf coast to panhandle areas. Too cold up there so moved further south.
Sorry for the detour chopsaw
