Sausages at the shack

[Raybon]

Have just eaten quite a substantial supper.
So why the sudden craving for a streaky bacon butty?

Woohoo!!! Thoses look amazing.
Can't wait to try my new machine out, ordered the casings yesterday

Which one did you go for eventually ?

SS you have me very interested, which machine would you recommend for a bumbling amateur?

My mother in law is a vegetarian, not for moral reasons she just doesn't like the taste of meat, however after being a vegetarian for 30 years plus she will give in to a bacon sandwich once in a blue moon. Seeing this thread reminds me of being about 5 years old sitting in my granda's kitchen using the mincer to make mince. Happy memories and the sausages look great btw.

I got the cheap one that Lidl were selling. Made some pork and leek, which were really tasty but I think I would prefer them minced a bit less coarse next time.

I also made some chorizo, we cooked some at the time for a pasta dish and although they tasted fine, I would tweak the recipe next time. The recipe said that they could be air dried for up to 3 weeks so I did that but didn't like the smell and had to bin them, suppose that's the chance you take using online recipes. I've since found another recipe, think it was on the BBC's food website, that I'll try next time.

Have you made any more?

will be breaking out the mincer again this weekend as my boerwors seasoning has arrived and the last batch of sossies have mysteriously disappeared from the freezer .just need to find me a proper butcher who will sell me some pork " trim" to up the fat content slightly (I know it's not as healthy but sausages need fat to cook properly)
