Traditional Butchery in Poland.
...would love to read about the topic. If the efforts of the Marianski family are any indication, there's plenty to learn. How in the world did they manage to do any of it during the Soviet days? Surely cure was hard to come by, and equipment must have been pretty basic. Then again, I once toured a ...

I am going to play devil's advocate here :twisted:. I don't think trying to replace ingredients is a good practice. What makes a clove a clove is it's individuality from other ingredients. Sure there are similarities, but nothing else shares the same chemical makeup of complex phenolic compounds, w...

http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/savoryherbs/savoryherbs.html ...very good, very thorough paper, even better if you correctly spell maRjoram. It's interesting that oregano is never mentioned. (Maybe it's a reaction to too much hype about Italian food. I am told, decent Italian can't be found outsi...

Recipe substitutions
When I want to try a new recipe, I'm usually out of at least one ingredient. Typically it's something like coriander seed (nearest Indian grocery store is 50 miles away) or Mexican oregano (obtainable at any grocery store, back home in Texas, but here in North Carolina it's impossible to find). Alte...

I'm thinking more along the lines of the belts driving a bucket belt that lifts a bowling ball up to a trough, where it rolls down, bounces off a couple of pins that have been glued down, then drops into another bucket that pulls on a rope. The rope goes through a couple of pulleys (as opposed to pu...

Thanks, guys. Great ideas. Anyone know where I could buy silicone gaskets? (...me neither, but I'll look.) The nylon windbreaker idea sounds easy to do, too, which is always good. ...much appreciated. But the most intriguing is using socks. Imagine the spiciness and the hint of clay grit that dirty ...

Maybe this isn't my favorite stuffer, but maybe it deserves mention along with the others. I bought a "Uniworld UST-05" five pound horn-shaped stuffer from Sears over the holidays. ...cheap. It's cast iron, tin plate. ...weighs a ton. The throat measures 3-1/4 inches and the plunger only 3-1/8 inche...

Applause for a great idea with many uses. It works for large pieces as well as small. All it lacks is racing stripes. Maybe I'll... Naah. Thanks for this thing- - a great idea. You wouldn't know where to get a meat stomper to fit the large diameter section, would you? (Looks like you made yours. Nic...

Fractured Engrish Department: The instructions on the side of my new Kitchener electric grinder say, in part, "To avoid short circuit, please don't hit the 'off' switch twice at the same time." ...any ideas how I might go about doing that? :idea: Obviously, quantum mechanics and time travel are invo...

"...looks like a great way to stuff the stuff that's left over ..." I made one similar to what was posted, but tried to get tight glued joints rather than use any threaded sections. This way, it is easier to keep clean. Mine worked great- - I stuffed an extra three sausages from the heel of material...

Maybe try a bloody mary with smoke dried andouille sausage sticks in addition to the celery. As ol' Justin Wilson should have said (but probably didn't), "Me, I lack diss, I gaw-ron-tee."

I have one and they are terrific ice crushers. Just put a plastic bag over the output end and feed it ice cubes. I bet you could lap the cutting edges in the same manner as seating valves in an engine. Place some grinding compound between the faces and crank away. Mine is called a food chopper not ...
