Doing a whole pig & goat

[moggy]

Sorry not posted much for a while, but getting a whole pig (not our own unfortunately) and a goat this weekend.

I have loads of suasage casings and a dozen salami skins.
I fancy some air dried hams and possibly some goat hams (any recipes)

It was supposed to be a well planned event, but suddenly it is upon me and has turned into two not one animal and I feel ill prepared and I need a shopping list asap.

Salt obviously, loads of it, juniper berries. I have no idea where to buy sal petre, so will have to leave it out.

So please ideas and recipes/ links - yes I know I can search the site, and a fantastic it always is, but I need to go shopping tomorrow and I am at work all day.

btw in NZ if that makes a difference.

Damn, I could have posted you some saltpetre to Yorkshire. So the escape tunnel worked then ?

Yes the escape plan worked well, loving it here, raising our own goats

Moggy, do you know of any sausage stuffer suppliers in NZ? Spudeye is looking for a source there when he visits from Singapore in this thread here:
