LOL Spice mix looked well tasty...can only imagine what the meat would taste like 😟 That fucking smoker! lmao....a ringer for 'Stephenson's Rocket' haha.....them sausages looked lovely coming out of it though 😋 I was kinda pleased you wasn't a fan of cougar/bear as i cant get it 😉 but surprised at carnivore/ vegan comparison!

    Man, love your content. I've had a similar experience with bear meat. Not my favorite. To the extent when I had the opportunity to harvest one I passed. But like the pork analogy, the meat is only as good as what is consumed in diet. A baited bear might not taste the same as a bear feeding on acorn and corn fields. Bravo for giving it a go.

    • @SamSeth
      @SamSeth 5 днів тому

      As a starting point, wild animals don't bathe. Any gamey flavor is multiplied the longer the carcass is out of refrigeration. A botched field dressing will add to this when the juice from entrails contaminates the meat. Every animal tastes different - think chicken vs beef. When harvesting game, the three most important things are shot placement (don't shoot through the guts), a clean field dressing, and getting it cold asap. In the worst case, "gamey" simply means spoilage or rancidity caused by improper care

    That's not a hind leg, that's a front leg, in pretty rough shape. That's not gaminess you are trying to cut, that's spoilage. Good venison, although has it's own flavour, isn't "gamey".

    To make it easier to get the netting onto the meat, get yourself off-cuts of PVC downpipes in different diameters, 4, 6, and 8 inches or thereabouts. You only need a piece about 6 inches long of each. Find a pipe just big enough to fit the meat through. Put the netting around the outside of the pipe, pull it over on one end so it just closes the opening, then push the meat through from the other end. As you push, the meat drags the netting with it, so it wraps itself very neatly around the the muscle, without tearing the collagen sheet.

      @@aileensmith3062 A dedicated sausage stuffer will definitely up your sausage making game and improve the quality of your sausage. The friction created by stand mixer and meat grinder stuffer attachments creates heat that can smear fat. A dedicated stuffer will also make the whole experience more enjoyable as they are much easier to use than stuffer attachments. I haven't used enough different brands to have an opinion of one over another but I can tell you one detail I would pay attention to if (when) I were buying a new stuffer. Every stuffer will leave some meat behind in the area where the horn attaches to the cylinder. Different manufacturers have different details at this juncture. The stuffer I use leaves a fair amount of meat in the elbow at the bottom of the cylinder where the horn attaches. I have seen stuffers that seem to have a better, more low profile transition that would seem like they would leave less meat behind. This is one detail I would pay attention to. I have plans for a video early next year showing how I made my drying chamber out of a used refrigerator. Keep your eye out for that one if you haven't made a drying chamber yet.

Girlfriend says it is a little spicy for her taste, but it is perfect for mine. This is just with the patties I just fried up.

    I checked one of the English sausage text books for chips. 23lbs including dry rusk/bread crumbs and water calls for 6 oz salt or pretty much 1.5% salt.

      1.5% salt is what I use in almost all of my sausages

    As an additional measure, after cleaning off the mold with vinegar, you can brush the meat with a 5 % potassium sorbate solution (5 g in 100 ml of water). This is very effective at suppressing mold. The same thing works if you want to cure something without growing mold in the first place. The potassium sorbate prevents mold spores that are floating around in the curing chamber from establishing themselves.

    Alright Greg, I made this sausage today and said I was going to let my girlfriend try it first before I did. I fried 4 small patties. She took her first bite and said, MMM and started shaking her head yes. lol I ate some and am in agreement with her. Excellent sausage. I cut the salt back to 1.5 % and that is the only thing I changed. It looked like there was going to be too much seasoning, but Greg, that flavor was is on point. Thank you so much for the time you put in to making these recipes and putting them on UA-cam. Tomorrow will be Andouille. I have a SmokinTex smoker and I'm going to dry the sausage and pour the smoke to it after it develops a pellicle. I'll give you a report when it's done. Thanks again.

      Awsome! I'm glad you liked the recipe. Keep in mind that Andouille is usually used in cajun and creole dishes and not typically eaten as a stand alone sausage, it's a bit bold to eat on it's own.
