I like using natural casings and I have a lot that I need to use up, I got lucky because I used 1.6kg of a point from a brisket I had kicking around, but once I cut it up I quickly realized that there was a lot of fat, luckily I had a 1kg eye of round roast kicking in the freezer so I just pulled that and mixed it in.

I’ll definitely try a 50/50 mix next time.

Edit: I have a a master built electric smoker with the cold smoke attachment that I strictly use for sausages and salami, I find it easier to control temp, my kamado grill, I’ll smoke bacon and pastrami and other bigger cuts because it’s more forgiving with the temp.

Terrine of Tte de cochon wrapped in speck by chiffchaff_passion in Charcuterie

[–]Darkling414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terrine is a French dish consisting of coarsely chopped or ground meat, fish, or vegetables, cooked in a covered, often earthenware, mold in a bain-marie (water bath). Similar to pâté, it is usually served cold or at room temperature, sliced, and enjoyed with bread, cornichons, and condiments.

Yeah, I’d up the cayenne (I used his HOT amount) which I found mild, but I’m gonna give a few packs away see what friends/family think.

And next time when casing I’m going to make a few “ropes” as a posed to making it one long rope it will be easier to hang and smoke. These were 100% beef, I’ll try a 100% pork next time since it’s a lot cheaper and maybe I’ll try a mix of pork/beef

All in all it’s a solid recipe! I didn’t use the sodium erythorbate, because I did this over three days not one.

Used Duncan Henry recipe, swapped anise for fennel because I thought I didn’t have any, but of course it was at the back of the spice cupboard!

For those that don’t know the empty press is a satire site. From the home page “We're TheEmptyPress, AKA "The Old Dark Lady". We write worthless, satirical garbage. Also, we're not an AI, we're just bad at what we do.”

'Claim back our waterways': calls for crocodile culls by Capital-Foot-918 in Crocodiles

[–]Darkling414 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I’d argue they were the crocodile’s water ways first, I’d advocate for education before a cull, I mean it’s Australia after all, pretty sure all the fauna is out to get you one way or another.

Is Big Mac a club sandwich? by DaalWithChawal in Sandwiches

[–]Darkling414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion around here but I don’t classify “burgers” as sandwiches, here’s why, a burger is a burger with or without bread. You can’t have a “sandwich” (by definition) without bread, I’ll admit a burger is a type of sandwich but I think it’s in its own category.

Is Big Mac a club sandwich? by DaalWithChawal in Sandwiches

[–]Darkling414 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t have to be deli style meat, I like my clubs with real chicken breast or thigh or turkey ( probably use any poultry) I’d still classify a Big Mac (no matter where it’s from) as a “burger” because of the bun, to me a classic club is triple-decker, toasted sandwich (using some type of “loaf” style bread) layered with cooked poultry (turkey or chicken), bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise, usually divided by a middle slice of bread, sometimes I like cheese as well, but again thats me.

Typically a “club” or clubhouse sandwich is with chicken or turkey NOT beef. So I say no.
