A friend sent me this photo of the sausage stuffer she uses. Although she isn`t certain of its history other than she got it from her aunt`s grandchildren in Alaska, she thinks it is possible her Grandmother brought it with her when she immigrated to Canada from Hungary in the early 1900`s.

Hello,

That sausage stuffer maybe from Hungary, but possibly anywhere from Europe.
That's what they used when I was a little kid, in the 1950's.
More accurately translated, it's a kiszka, (blood sausage) stuffer. It's also one of my favorite kind of sausage......

Some of those are still for sale....

And You can see many different kinds of the same thing here.

Gulyás! Hol voltál? We miss you and your stories here. Are you no longer making kolbasz, paprikasz, and other delectables?

Ohhh, I was reading here often.....
I was busier than "normal", because the very harsh winter we had around here.
I was also helping a very dear friend of ours, because they had health problems.
Lately I made only fresh sausages, and plenty of it to find out that mixers are not for me.
I add very little water to the meat, not enough for the ground meat to flow easily.

In a few weeks I start to work on my garden plants, but sausage is for breakfast, lunch, supper, and desert.
...........why? what else is there?
