Certified Sausage Maker
Posted by The Foo in Food & Dining, Life through my eyes

There is always got to be a first for everything. Spent the later half of last night making sausages for a church function. 250 lbs of minced meat filled with garlic, hot paprika and salt was mixed (by hand) with the help of 4 other guys (including me). We then put the mix into a 70 year old sausage maker in 10 pound increments which extruded the mix into the skin. Oh yeah, did it smell good! One bad thing came out of it, I don’t think I will eat sausages for a while as to what the the sausage mix is contained in i.e. the skin. It is one of those things that I knew but really didn’t want to hear about it nor did I want to look at it. I did however, take home 3 lbs of sausage meat that I am going to make into burger patties to put on my grill. Yummo!

  • Yum! I rarely make burgers at home because I don't love mixing and shaping the meat with my hands... I should get my husband to do it!
