Homemade Sausage Making

This was a fun read about the history of bratwurst:

Ohh yes, they used every part, including the tail.

That jelly takes so long and is so involved I think I'll leave the toe nails with the butcher

My father(German immigrant)always told us they used everything from the hog, except the squeel. They collected all of the squeels from the neighbourhood and sold them to the Scots for their bagpipes, and then had an excuse for a neighbourhood beer, saurkraut, and sausage fest!!!!!

There'll be lots of squeels in Scotland in the next 24 hours whatever the outcome.

Brats with mustard and a cold beer. Life is good !

Enjoyed reading both articles thanks for the postings.

Gulyas,
I liked the artice on Hungarian Jelly, although I only use bones, certain meats, skins, ears and trotters for the Jelly, of course sweet Paprika, garlic and some hot Chillies are included as standard ingredients.
Thanks for posting the article.
Cheers,
Jan.
