Buddy came back from down south and brought us boudin balls. They were frozen, like meatballs. He put them in a deep fryer, don't know temp or how long. Excellent. I tried them defrosted and they just fell apart.

Here's one I've used and enjoy. As with most recipes, you'll have to adjust seasonings to your taste but it's a good start.. Anything from Emeril has come out good for me. Enjoy, good luck.

Thanks, BB. Being from Polish descent, I'll be happy to try things like that and raised by depression era parents, like my Father said, "You'll be surprised what you'll eat when you're hungry enough". Thanks.

From the show, I got the impression it had foul odor once done. Also, they seemed to cook vegetables in it for flavor.

Sausage. Cure was #2 and didn't get sick. No cure chamber, just air dried in basement. Was very tasty but needed to chewed for awhile. Don't eat much dry cured, so don't know if that's normal. Coppa was done same way and once done, had a taste of fine aged cheese. Len Poli's recipes. Thanks.

Did some dry cured meats. 1/2 was red, perfect color, other 1/2 was gray color. All tasted good but one was less visually appealing.

Anyone ever use a spray bottle to more evenly distribute the starter cultures. The small amount called for seems it would be tough to distribute it on the amount of meat involved. I figure even if diluted with water, it would cover a greater area, therefore getting more meat in contact with the star...

I remember this discussion awhile ago. Remember my post was, that soon, we'd be in the woods like moonshiners making our products, due to government regulations. Guess commercial producers are worried about competition, as our products are much better than mass produced.
