Let me just say that my balls were not frozen, I got them fresh from a local butcher, and that it is very local overhere, some products you can find only in a small region and not all over holland (even as small as our country is!) So if I can get them ,that doesn't mean that Noskos can get them to, he lives in a different part of Holland. Normaly I make them with frozen balls containing chicken, (I know not MOINK but these are the only frozen pre made balls I can find overhere) I just hope that this explains why Noskos made his own meatballs. So hopefully you don't have to reconcider the waiver granted to Noskos.
ps on our small dutch forum, they even talk about a MOINK day, we try to pick a date, and everybody will make MOINK balls at the same time.
Let me re-re-iterate what Spiffs says.
Noskos met up with me, Ron_L, billm, Stoke&Smoke + 1, and Divemaster at the first International Brethren Luncheon in April.
Noskos has been to the States before, and was on a Midwest tour when we caught him (KC, StL, Memphis, I think).
He loves the fact we can go into any market and buy butts, briskets, etc.
He told us, at lunch, how he needs to work various butchers to get certain cuts, then cost is an issue.
That being said, if Noskos asks for an exemption, that means he needs it. He has Brethren integrity through and through.
He will not compromise Brethren quality Q for his guests!!
He is a straight shooter, and I enjoyed the time we all had together.
