Advice taken, and it turned out well. I reduced 6-12 oz bottles of a stout from Oregon. This went down to about 5 oz. Used a mixture of beef, chicken thighs, and pork fat. Spiced by taste w/nutmeg, allspice, mace, dried parsley, and a little chix-granules for taste.
I can see how the flavor might be masked by prune or other flavor. I kept it simple. My additive was roasted potato.
Just a note: I had thought to date that there was nothing I could do in an Asian Market that would raise an eyebrow. Any butcher where I can buy pig uterus and chicken feet... well, that speaks for itself. Everytime I ask these guys for pig fat, they turn thier backs and laugh among themselves. What an honor...
Ground it today, will case it tommorow.
This sausage is virtually unheard of in US. I think it might be a big hit.
Also made a pork-pumpkin w/whiskey. More on that later.
Time for a bottle of stout.
