I stumbled across this pretty epic thread:

If I had bought a grinder a few monthis earlier, I would have considered joining up with this introductory course!

Alright, I've got my grinder. Pretty solid piece of vintage machinery.

It's got a 5/16th plate. I would imagine I need one or two more plates--what plates do you guys use?

Will have to stick to burgers/meatballs/meatloaf for now. Will get a set of stuffer tube attachments later (or possibly try out this DIY stuffer I saw made from an oversized caulk gun)

Anyone have a good source for fresh pork intestines, specifically the large one?

MGM, "fresh?" Are you looking for a bung or bladder to stuff?

from that, it looks like I should probably have a 3/16 plate as well.

Not sure I need anything smaller since that tends to be making things into more of a paste right?

Actually, I think I am just looking for hog casing, but the large intestine, specifically. I am working from a cookbook that is not written in my first language.

I'll try and get the energy to look at my dies this weekend. I just think in terms of, "Fine, medium, coarse" so can't remember the actual diameters. I do things like a double grind, medium followed by fine, for some things like Thuringer. For me, better results than trying to puree or emulsify with a food processor.

These will be ready to eat over the Xmas break. Can't wait to have them with a bottle of southern Rhone smile.gif

That looks awesome. I have not seen more yummy looking rillettes since Matt's pig butchery in France thread. And I love Rhone.

Thanks, guys.

I did a modified version of something you taught me, Matt. Had the mixing bowl for our big stand mixer in the freezer. After everything was shredded I dumped it all in the freezing bowl, used the paddle attachment on low, and whipped in the separated off fat. It really worked well.

^How I love rillette. icon_gu_b_slayer[1].gif

This is pork belly? And I saw vegetables. Did you only use those while cooking or is incorporated in the end product?

Myself, I've only made duck rillette.

It was pork belly and shoulder and some back fat. In terms of veggies, there was only garlic and some herbs. I pull the thyme sprigs and bay leafs out but smash up the garlic cloves and mix in.
