Huge selection to Classic, very rarely do I have any issues whatsoever with these - no tears and really long runs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezzza Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Out of the freezer from a previous batch of lovely home made Pork Bratwurst... kept pretty well frozen cannot complain... they are very tasty but I think next time we will up the amount of backfat - these were made just from ground up Pork Shoulder (and the other normal bits and pieces in a good Bratwurst) w no extra Fat... somehow forgot to ask me festive Village Butcher to include the extra fat... anyway still good enough to eat 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good healthy way to cook them on the grill, you get rid of more fat & have a nice charred, smokey taste. Enjoy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My festive village Butcher told me that was the first thing they did as Apprentices and if they couldn't do it themselves then 'they'd find someone else who could'... Maybe I should try giving it a go but it seems a bit hard to keep the casing on nice and firm and fill them without any airgaps while cranking the handle - any advice would be very welcome please ? Maybe I am just a bit unco (uncoordinated).... ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done the stuffing by myself but like you it ends in tears - too unco, a bit like the ol' rub the stomach while patting the head routine. Strange though SWMBO can do it solo, I've got the horizontal stuffer - heavy as I think she holds about 5 or 6kg of the sausage goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly same here - got a horizontal fella - quite a job to crank with a swag of meat in it - and so funny about your analogy @Mickep mate haha very good... But I think we both agree mate that boy yer can make some outstanding tasty snagglers hey?!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terminal2k Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) 14 hours ago, Mickep said: Thai green curry - chicken I'm on my way over....... I do love chicken sausages though. Used to get the crappy woolies ones many many years ago (was young and also poor), then they were out once so I bought these fancy organic ones which tasted amazing. I couldn't understand why they were so much better so I compared the ingredients. The woolies shite were about 30% chicken and the organic ones were over 70%. At least even woolies will do some fancier style stuff with a higher meat count themselves these days.
