Home Made Sausage, Cured, and Smoked Meats - Page 60

I have to try that soon.

The safeway near me carries salumi from Olli's Salumeria. Are they good? WSJ had an article on them (and other salumi merchants) this past weekend.

They sell it at whole foods here...which kind of sketches me out (whole foods won't sell things with added sodium nitrate/nitrite...which just means the producers add it using things like "celery juice" which is loaded with the stuff).

I've had a few of their things (since WF is my most convenient store). I'd prefer something like columbus salame or maybe even the boars head ones...but they are still good.

Every time I hear somebody say salumi I want to beat them with a stick.

a stick of salumi?

No. A large flaccid dildo.

ah, my housemate had one of those in college. We had a lot of fun with that thing ... chucking it at people on the balcony below, sticking it in friends' backpacks as they went to class, folding it up and sticking it in the freezer so it would pop out at whoever opened the freezer next, etc.

Did you ever run down the street waving it in front of you screaming "ahoy matey!"

not that I remember. Doesn't mean it didn't happen.





I should get one for home. Maybe that's what my life is missing.

Would you mind giving a brief description of your method for the rilettes? Or where is this pig butchery thread Huntsman mentioned?

That sounds very unhealthy, I want some.

Anyone know of a source for beechwood chips or dust? Looking to use it for smoking potatoes.i
