Home Made Bratwurst & Kielbasa (pRoN)

[phil c]

Looks good! Try a grilled brat with brown mustard and blue cheese crumbles some time. Its heaven on a bun, if you listen close you can hear harps over your arterys hardening!

I trim the cartilage out. getting a tiny piece in an occasional bite is no big deal, but I think it would otherwise hurt the texture if there was very much of it.

The bench type, with the grinder handle

Nuttn' wrong with that. The stuffer I bought is a hand crank, and I'm sure it'll run circles around the KA when it comes to stuffing.

Yeah, the new stuffer that's coming is also 5#. It's made by LEM. Looking forward to using it.
