Charcuterie thread-showoff!pron

[GARNAAL]

it's not only a lot of fun to make this stuff yourself - but on top..

* you know what exactly goes into those sausages - no mistery fillers.....:shock::roll:

* this stuff (specially the fancy cured stuff..) is a lot cheaper than in the "gourmet" stores - check the price of cured hams, prociutto etc... a lot of places are very "proud" ($$ wise..) of their wares..

so today, to make some space for my next load of stuff in my dryer..
I sliced up some cured Carne Salata ( a salted prociutto made from pork cushions (boned out picnic shoulder.. @ $1.69 per lbs..)

and some Bresaola (Airdried beef made from beef sirlion @ ~ 4.99 per lbs..)

and all it took is some reading...
very clean/sanitary handling of the goods , spices and..
patience while it's in the dryer ..
or in case of bacon, sausages etc.. - in the smoker....:mod:

I don't 'remember it' because I wasn't there
but I read aboutt it, they used to give it to guys in the military too.
It is BS that it has any effect on the sex drive or hormonal system. ALl it did was help them die younger.
