I'm not fussy when it comes to brats and sausages,  but some of rh's is tough to beat, old fashioned Frank's, swedish potatoe sausage and I really digged the ABT brats. Tis the season to make more.

I like trying sausages from different places.  Like em all.  We are about out of our last 2 batches that were real good.  Curleys Ring Bologna and their Old Fashioned Wieners that I put in hog casings.  Both are great.  I need to make some more so I will check out RH site before I do.  Miss RH.  I think he is pretty serious so maybe we are a little goofy for him.  And that is ok too. Hope all is well with our butcher friend.  Man can he make the sausage.

Post by: Steve-o on November 11/13/18, 08:47:09 AM
I'm conflicted.  Thielen Meats in Pierz/Little Falls makes an elk sausage that we REALLY like.

The problem is they most certainly get their elk from a game farm, and I'm not in favor of game farms.  And that isn't their fault.

But man-o-man, I do like me some elk sausages.

I WAS gonna post that, but figgered someone would say I was off topic..
THAT was my favorite! Their thick-sliced smoked bacon. We'd grab 3-4 lbs of it when headed back home from Brainerd.  Heard Steve McQueen was in there one day when he was headed to BIR for a rally.

they were selling it in New York for awhile,  the only problem was they can't sell across state lines..  they are state inspected only!!  maybe things have changed now just not sure!!
Title: Re: favorite sausage
Post by: LPS on November 11/13/18, 11:56:24 AM
That is some beautiful bacon.  The nearest locker to us is 65 miles away.  They have good meat here at the store but I like good old fashioned smoky smelling lockers.  I go to Stittsworths in Bemidji often when we are there.  That's 100 miles away.

The New Midwestern Table: 200 Heartland Recipes Hardcover – September 24, 2013
by Amy Thielen (Author)
Minnesota native Amy Thielen, host of Heartland Table on Food Network, presents 200 recipes that herald a revival in heartland cuisine in this James Beard Award-winning cookbook.

Amy Thielen grew up in rural northern Minnesota, waiting in lines for potluck buffets amid loops of smoked sausages from her uncle’s meat market and in the company of women who could put up jelly without a recipe. She spent years cooking in some of New York City’s best restaurants, but it took moving home in 2008 for her to rediscover the wealth and diversity of the Midwestern table, and to witness its reinvention.

The New Midwestern Table reveals all that she’s come to love—and learn—about the foods of her native Midwest, through updated classic recipes and numerous encounters with spirited home cooks and some of the region’s most passionate food producers. With 150 color photographs capturing these fresh-from-the-land dishes and the striking beauty of the terrain, this cookbook will cause any home cook to fall in love with the captivating flavors of the American heartland.

And I just read an article she wrote for Savour magazine, which is relevant to deer season.  It includes some pretty good looking recipes.

Ok thanks for the book idea.  The Great Sausage book is on the way.  I remember a friend of mine had that years ago.  I want to make sausage using my own spices to eliminate all of the crap that doesn't need to be there.  I will add my own cure.  Should have it Friday and I also got one of those things RH uses to get the air bubbles out.  A "snausage prick".   :sleazy:

Post by: Bobberineyes on November 11/14/18, 05:09:11 PM
I too should think about getting an updated book, the one I have is perty old. Still have some curly's seasonings here to use up, but man that stuff can be salty it seems.  Gonna try some beef sticks with the bacon formed seasoning with NO casings this weekend, polish and some of dem swiss brats then I can start using other seasonings.

Title: Re: favorite sausage
Post by: LPS on November 11/19/18, 05:38:06 PM
Ok here is the batch I made.  I did 8 lbs pork and 2 lbs of beef instead of all pork as the recipe asked for.  I also added a couple of big scoops of minced garlic and a pint of high temp cheddar cheese.  Did 2 hours on the Daniel Boone then brought inside so I could keep a closer eye on it.  Finished off in the oven.  So it is Polish Garlic Cheddar Snausages.

I just dropped off 25 pounds of goose meat at the local smoke shop. (Since we don't do goose at our shop)

We are going to try the ring baloney with it. They add 25% pork to it, and I asked to put some pepper jack cheese in the mix.

......so we'll see....  :confused:
Title: Re: favorite sausage
Post by: Rebel SS on November 11/20/18, 01:40:02 PM
Like to know how that turns out, think it'll be fatty or kinda greasy? Just wondering with the goose in it...
Title: Re: favorite sausage
Post by: HD on November 11/20/18, 01:53:27 PM
Goose is really lean.
We had some summer sausage made last year, without the cheese and less pork........it was dry.

Should be better.... we'll see...

Title: Re: favorite sausage
