Finally Fattie

[CharlotteLovesFood]

So I finally got there and did my first fatty this morning...well two actually...because I'm just greedy and wanted the best of both worlds... but anyway I'm rambling again, yay!! go me!! :D hahaha.

So I took inspiration from a few people on here that I ought to thank...
@GhostPirate for his step by step fattie instructions (life saver I didn't have a clue before seeing your post)
@gmc2003 for the bacon weave tutorial (again I wouldn't have known how to do that)
@wade for adding to that on the rolling out the weave and giving me future fattie filling ideas (this time I did use cheese but I can't wait to try your suggestions)
@Alex Douglas for encouraging me to do one, after I made him do one first :rolleyes: Haha!
@SonnyE for doing beef mini fattie which made me wanna do beef as well as pork (I think I preferred the beef)

Anyway...fattie fun pic time (smoked with oak around 225-250°f for about 3 hours, pulled off at 165°f)

Mixed seasoning with the meat...



Sausage Fattie with bacon weave..


Beef Fattie (little bit of sausage meat)...


Beef one got spritzed with Apple juice+Coca Cola by my little 'Helping Harriet' (it's half term)...


Finished plate...

Thanks for reading
Charlotte :D

Beautiful from construction to plating, Kid!

She can learn a lot from you!

I hope I didn't insult you or anything. I was trying to say brilliant - end of story. Anyway great looking fattie and a beautiful weave.

Point for sure.

Aww thanks Sonny...haha I'm pretty sure her and my niece (who I was also looking after today) spritzed more on their tongues than on the food...its amazing it turned out moist, but thankfully it did :)

Two kids running around the garden and two dogs haha it was eventful to say the least...
Yeah I got their approval. One preferred the sausage and the other preferred the beef. Even one of the dogs jumped up to swipe some of the sausage/bacon meat one haha. I liked both but swayed more towards the beef one as the bacon one felt a little over indulging for me.
