Had BBQ on Sunday and had my family over. Alas no pictures of the finished articles, but here are a couple of the prep. Some pork and haggis sausages, some pork and...

What's in those?

Our next big meal is Christmas, I'm going a bit different this year and we're having an Indian buffet style meal.

I'm a bit fluid on temp for all my cooking. Chicken and pork I'm always fastidious on what the gov saya is good. Beef however is always a ballpark of readiness.

It's this guy.

I don't know if this is considered good or what it's called lol.

What I do know is it has enough space for my needs, it got up to temp and held with little fuss, and that...

So I got a smoker in September and today I had the chance to finally try this out. My first time smoking. I used some Oak whisky cask staves to smoke some brisket ribs and chicken wings.

Alas we...

Sorry I don't, I believe this was a standardised Lorne recipe with onion added by the butcher.

Geek

Oddly enough we do 🤣

But only in the last year or two. The Lorne sausage has been a mainstay for generations of us Scots.

Where I grew up we had a butchers, I grew up on their onion Lorne. When...

The famous Scottish Lorne (or square) sausage.

Geek

In Scotland we have the amazing square sausage, a sausage which is perfectly sized and shaped to fit on a piece of plain bread. (That's a type of bread shaped like a long rectangle with a chewy burnt...

There's nothing as far as I'm aware preventing the use of natural casings in UK sausages.

Most manufacturers do use collagen though, but for reasons of cost and ease as opposed to rules.

Also...

Alas as quick as I was taking it off the grill it was getting pilfered ��

Indeed, my 9 year old daughter was happy to see everyone enjoy her efforts.

Geek

Had a BBQ on Sunday with some of the family over, my daughter and I made bratwurst and burgers, then I put some chicken into a BBQ marinade.

All the food vanished including my giant onion rings. I...

wonder if that would work with chipped whisky barrels. We once did bacon slices in an old kettle with some whisky barrel chips, made some good bacon.

Geek

To be fair, she eats a fair few, so she's getting paid. She's my mixer and test 'crabby patty' maker / taster.

Mine always taste good, but I still get quite a few blowouts, I think maybe i'm filling too much. The risk of letting my 9 year old help :shrug:

Geek

So, the huge pig in a blanket went down well, twice, a nice simple sausage with some pork shoulder and sage, wrapped in smoked bacon. Turns out the boy loves them lol.

I made some plain sausage...

That would imply I intend to share :shrug:

Last week I learnt that I need two packs of bacon to make a big pig in a blanket. This was a test run for Christmas and boxing day.

Will do although hopefully nowt with a smoker. Not there yet.

Geek

Thanks for the alternate measurements I've never measured in hundredths lol. I can scale that no issues.

Also looks on paper like only might make a good base for piggy blankets.

I'm on the...

Howdy folks

So I have a wonder. Does anyone have a recipe for a plainish pork sausage? My mum wants me to make some for her and dad but they aren't into herby sausage.

Also, second question,...

Slightly improved effort over yesterday's, pork slightly spicy pork shoulder.

Hoping to bag a goose or two this season, goose sausage sounds good.

Geek

My wife got me a meat grinder for my birthday, so my daughter and I made our first ever sausages, not bad for a first effort.

Pork fillet and streaky bacon.
