Home smoked tasso...

Charcuterie. I have a copy too. A great resource.

Thanks just bought it.
BTW, I've made a great Tasso from Bruce Aidell's Sausage book. He brines, then dries it and then smokes it. Comes out great
 
I have never made Tasso, but in my experience with Louisiana cooking if there is any confusion as to what is authentic, and John Folse has a recipe for it, then you can't go wrong.

That guy probably has more knowledge of Louisiana food culture than anyone on the planet.
 
Well, I went and bought Ruhlman's book (Anthony Bourdain refers to him by his last name), and the description was fantastic -- with illustrations.

So, I'm going to go with that. I don't think there is any one definitive answer to "what is authentic tasso?"

As a bonus, there are many other things in that book that I would like to try.

Thanks for all the advice.

CD,

I have Rhulmans book, I enjoy it and refer back to it often... (kindle version has the bonus of being on my kindle computer and online but lack the battle scars of most of our cookbooks)

Looking forward to seeing the results and progress notes!
