German in South Carolina

[Parmaster32]

Hello. New here, not new to curing and smoking. I left Germany in 1999 and had to learn how to make all the stuff I loved which was not available here so I called a childhood friend who is a German butcher back home and over the years he has taught me how to make all the delicious meats I was missing. Black Forest hams, Specks, all the different sausages, etc etc. I have since ventured into italian and fermented meats as well, making Coppas, Bresaolas, Salamis and more. Hope to share some knowledge here and help out where I can.

Went on a trip to southern Italy this summer and had 2 salamis I had to try and recreate. Mantovano and Finocchiona. These are currently drying in my chamber.

A few of many other things I have made over the years.

Looks great (though I suspect the gator is not a dish from your German childhood)! I was in Bavaria this past winter and definitely enjoyed gorging on all the delicious traditional meats over there. Welcome to SMF.

Gator is definitely not a german thing.

I do know, problem is that I do not like the cold much, even though it would give me a bigger window to make a lot of the German hams.
