Mevis,

Typically, boerewors is made with added vinegar, not water.

I found this recipe on the internet some time ago can't remember where. I thought some of you might be interested the sausages are from Mrs beatons cook book therefore antique.

Mrs Beatons Sausage Recipe

Ingredients

450g/1lb pork, fat and lean, without skin or gristle
450g/1lb lean veal
450g/1lb beef suet
225g/�lb breadcrumbs
� lemon, rind of
1 small nutmeg
6 sage-leaves
1 tsp pepper
2tsp salt
�tsp savory
� tsp marjoram

Method

1. Chop the pork, veal and suet finely together, add the breadcrumbs, lemon-peel (which should be well-minced), and a small grated nutmeg.
2. Wash and chop the sage-leaves very finely; add these, with the remaining ingredients, to the sausage meat, and when thoroughly mixed, either put the meat into skins, or, when wanted for table, form it into little cakes, which should be floured and fried.

Flippin' heck that's a lot of suet!!!

Gotta be worth a try though.

The Cotswold Cook Book (see earlier in this thread) arrived some while back and I've only now been able to refer to it. The recipes are rather 'nostalgic' and include many things I'd not heard of before. The anecdotal style for each month makes for interesting reading and the picture for October shows The Best 4x4xFar , so all in all it's a book well worth having.

I have just read your message; that's a very kind offer! If you are travelling by car, and only if it's really, truly convenient for you, I would like some sausages or good English cheese (note: you are not allowed to import cheese, fish or processed/fresh meats!!) and quality bottled beers, like 'Old Speckled Hen' or 'Fullers Golden Pride'.

You could contact me here at +49 2273 2469 or colin.basham@t-online.de or at work +49 221 144 2948 or colin.basham@globalre.com to discuss.

Thanks Fatman for the recipe below I'm going to give them a try all I've added is the recipe for Quatre-Epices in case people don't know what it is.

Fatmans Sausage

10lb pork including about 40% fat.
4 x teaspoons of salt ( heaped)
2 x teaspoons of quatre-epices
Ground black pepper to taste
Also add plenty of parsley, sage or thyme or a mixture of all three.
Add breadcrumbs or rusk if you desire, sometimes I do other times I don't.
If using water, then add no more than a cup full

Quatre-Epices

5 parts Pepper
2 parts Nutmeg
1 part Cloves
1 Part Dried Ginger

Mix all ground spices together

I can't promise it will be tommorrow but I'll get back to you and let you know how I found them.

[aris]

Why aren't you allowed to import meat/cheese? What ever happened to the common market?

[Oddley]

If anybody decides to scan "The Cotswold Cookbook" put me down for a copy. I would like to have a read of it. Cheers!

It's a worthwhile project as it's out of print. Once it's in electonic format it'll never die.

@ aris
It's not a question of protectionism or similar, the idea is to curb the spread of diseases like foot & mouth by ensuring that exports are tested before they go. The authorities cannot exercise such controls on individuals and simply ban it. I think honey is also on the list of banned imports.

@ Oddley
The paperback book is not all that expensive if you want one - www.elmfieldbooks.co.uk

Colin - can you point me to some sort of online text which describes/confirms this ban? I really don't believe it to be the case. What kind of diseases can cheese bring in?

[Colin]

aris
Take a look here:

http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/illegal ... atfood.htm

I don't know what, if any, diseases may be caused or transmitted by cheese, it's probably just that the authorities wish to combat illegal imports. I can assure you that I see the posters every week at the airport when I fly.

These regulations refer to the importation of produce from OUTSIDE the European Union.
As far as I'm aware there is complete freedom of movement of such goods WITHIN the EU as we are all subject to the same farming regulations and standards.
