Hello, hi there and Bon Jovi

Hi there

Just been having a nosey around and think I recognise a couple of names from the British BBQ Forum.

Had the family around this christmas and asked my sister to bring her mincer down so we can have a go at making sausages because I've wanted to have a go for ages, and she's left the mincer with me HAPPY DAYS

Here's a couple of pics of my first attempt

Chopping up pork shoulder and belly


The first knife obviously wasn't big enough


My sister showing me the correct posture


No comment


I thought it would be best to just get it all 'sleeved' up before trying to separate into links


No idea how I did it but I grouped up the sausages and thought they looked quite good



Using recipes from a book she got me we made Toulouse sausages and pork and Turkey sausages. The Toulouse ones were awesome but the pork and turkey ones were really dry because I used cooked meat for them from christmas day.

Also tried some spicy beef sausages from the same book


but they were'nt very nice, texture was good but they just tasted of cloves and were not nice at all. All part of experimenting I suppose

Alright matey

As luck would have it I was just given a stove top smoker from a work mate, my arsenal increases

I'm dying to have a go at some cured and smoked sausage
