    Something like this? My Humphrey's Market features "Bacon Sizzler
    Patties" every few weeks in ntheir ad. I always buy at least a pound
    of the 4 oz. patties and me and my Geiorge Foreman have a party.

    Laugh, exactly like this. I've made them once, I just checked and it
    was before I started keeping track so I may have just found a recipe online and used it as a starting point.

    Title: Ground Bacon Burger
    in a food processor and roughly chop.

    I do know I used a food processor as I don't have a grinder anymore.

    I've got ... comes back from checking shelf in pantry .... a food/meat
    grinfer, full-size food processor, a small food processor (mini-chopper)
    a set of shredder/slicer blades for the food processor, a set of attachments for the stand mixer and a pasta roller machine. You've seen pixtures of my
    work area so you know it's a major job to clear enough space to employ any
    of those tools.

    Oh, yeah, I've got a sausage stuffer set-up for both the meat grinder and
    the CuisinArt Stand mixer.

    I made a batch of this sausage (one of my favourites) to take to the
    Canadian Caper picnic last century. To get it ready to serve I borrowed
    the top of an oval roasting pan and filled it with LaBatts beer to cook
    the sausages, then grilled them over open flame. Served on bratwurst
    sized rolls with the sliced onions and bell peppers that c ooked in the
    beer whilst simmering the sausages. No leftovers.

    Thinking back on it - I believe my sister and I are the only attendees
    of that picnic still above the grass ... except possibly Benita Bell.

    Title: Garlic Sausage
    Categories: Sausage, Pork, Chilies
    Yield: 3 Pounds

    2 lb Pork butt
    1/2 lb Pork fat
    1/3 lb Ham and ham fat
    10 cl Garlic; peeled
    1 ts White pepper
    2 tb Sage
    1/2 ts Cayenne
    2 ts Black pepper
    2 ts Quatre epices *
    2 tb Salt

    * 1 part nutmeg, 1 part ginger and 7 parts white pepper -
    (which is only THREE spices - UDD)

    Grind the pork butt, pork fat, ham and garlic on the
    large hole plate of a meat grinder.

    Place ground meat in a bowl, add spices and mix
    thoroughly.

    You can sautee a small quantity of the mixture and taste
    for seasoning.

    You may want to add more spices, salt, pepper or garlic.

    Stuff sausages into pork casings (available at most large
    meat stores or your friendly local butcher).

    You can saute sausages over low heat with a little butter
    for 15 to 20 minutes, or poach in simmering liquid.

    You may grill them as well.

    Serve with cold beer.

    I'm keeping all of the attachments with the mixer. But it's on its last legs

    My Kitchen Aid went to my S-I-L when I lived in the tin can. When I bought

    Well, if you're doing lasagne "noodles" (sheets) then it makes sense
    to treat it like pie crust. But from angel hair through fettucine I

    Title: Shrimp Sausage
    Categories: Seafood, Vegetables, Herbs
    Yield: 10 servings

    45 g (3 tb) unsalted butter
    325 g (3 c) minced white onion
    1 kg (35 oz) peeld, deveined,
    - tails off chrimp; diced
    - small
    +=PLUS=+
    1 tb Butter
    21 g (2 tb) salt
    4 g (1 ts) white pepper
    4 g (i ts) ground anise or
    - fennel seed
    6 g (2 ts) whole anise or
    - fennel seed
    4 tb Chopped chives
    4 tb Chopped parsley or lovage
    Sheep casings

    Soak the sheep casings in warm water to rehydrate.

    Heat the butter in a pan over medium heat and saute the
    minced onion until soft and translucent, but without
    browning it, about 8 minutes. Turn off the heat and let
    this cool, then refrigerate the onions. You want them
    cold before proceeding.

    Put the shrimp and the tablespoon of butter into a food
    processor, along with a handful of crushed ice. Process
    into a fluffy puree, about 1 minute or so. Move this to
    a large bowl.

    Add all the remaining ingredients, along with the cooled
    onions and any butter you can scrape from the bowl, and
    mix well with your (very clean) hands until it all comes
    together in one big ball. This should take about 90
    seconds to 2 minutes of kneading and mixing.

    Put this mixture into a sausage stuffer and thread the
    sheep casings onto the funnel. Fill the casings, erring
    on a little looser than tighter, as sheep casings are
    fragile. If you break one, move the fish mixture away
    from the break so you can tie it off, then continue with
    a new coil. It happens.

    When you have the mixture all stuffed, you will want to
    pinch off links. I like links in sheep casings about
    four to five inches long. To do this you can tie them
    off with string, or pinch down with your fingers to make
    two links - the end link and the one between your
    fingers. Spin the link between your fingers away from
    you to tighten the link. You may see air pockets forming
    underneath the casing; we’ll deal with them in a bit.
    Now move down the coil and pinch off another two links.
    This time you spin the link towards you. Repeat this
    process, away from you, then towards you, all the way
    down the coils.

    When you are done, gently compress the fish mixture in a
    link at the end, then tie off that link. Do the same on
    the other end. Now get a needle or a sausage pricker and
    set the point in a burner until it glows; you are
    sterilizing it. Us this to prick every air pocket you
    can find in the links. When you get them all from a
    link, rotate it in the direction it was made (toward or
    away from you) to compress the meat into the link and
    seal up any air pockets.

    Put your links in the fridge, uncovered, for up to a
    day. This tightens them and allows the links to bloom a
    bit. They will keep for a few days in the fridge and
    freeze well. I generally grill or pan fry them and serve
    with a seasonal salad.

    Sounds like my place. Zippiness to taste. This morning I was having the
    "early bird breakfast at on of my favourite stops. Part of my order, since
    I have already had my doctor allowed quota of coffee is a large glass of
    tomato juice - which i wake up with a tablespoon or so for Frank's Hot
    Sauce = which is fairly mild for a hot sauce. Another guy saw me adding
    and stirring mthe juice. So he grabs the hot sauce bottle on his table
    and goes to town with it. Except he was in for a "treat" - his hot sauce
    was Tabasco. Bv)=

    This is tonight's supper. My sister-in-law is poorly so I'm cooking for
    them. I'll probably do linguine instead of fettucine because I know Phil
    and Vicky stock the skinny noodles.

    Salt
    Green pepper
    +=OR=+
    Dill

    Not for the faint-hearted. The thick part of the rectum
    is washed, without removing the fat, and then carefully
    turned inside out so that the fat is inside. It's washed
    once more and then tied up at both ends. Karta can be
    dried or smoked.

    To dry karta it is covered with fine salt and kept in a
    cool place for 1-2 days, then dried out.

    Karta needs to be smoked for 24 hours and then dried for
    2-3 days. After washing it well karta is boiled for 2
    hours on a slow fire.

    It is served cut into rings and decorated with green
    pepper or dill.

    worm is back (and active) in RFK's brain.

    Which is directly counter to my experience.

    Goes to show you everyone's taste buds are different. :)

    Looking at the ingredients list/recipe for each sauce shows that the
    chilies used are widely separated on the Scoville Heat Index with the
    chilies used in Frank's coming in at less than halfs as hot asa the
    tabasco chiliesused in Tabasco sauce.

    I hadn't considered that they use flour as a thickener in those
    soups. Makes me glad I don't got culiac. Bv)=

    Trust me you should be glad. I'm used to it now and can look at ingredient lists in a fraction of the time I used to. :)

    Fortunately the only food to which I an allergic is bananananas. And I
    never did like then anyway. Haven't tried their cousins like plantains
    ot cherimoya.

    I got a scare whenm researching the botanical relatives of 'nanners.
    The article mentioned mangoes and jack fruit. Fortunately it was a
    taste and texture reference. PHEW.

    Title: Seared Swordfish w/Mango Salsa
    Categories: Seafood, Fruits, Chilies, Herbs
    Yield: 2 Servings

    1 tb Olive oil
    2 Swordfish steaks; 150 g/5
    - oz ea)
    1/2 Mango; peeled, chopped
    2 Spring onions; thin sliced
    1 Red chile; seeded, fine
    - chopped *
    1/2 Lime; zest & juice
    Handful coriander leaves;
    - chopped
    Salad leaves; to serve

    * Pick your heat. I favour a ripe Big Jim/NuMex/Anaheim
    as it give a bit of bite and lets the other flavours
    shine through. Jalapeno/serrano or (heavens forfend) a
    red Habanero may light you up past enjoyment. -- UDD

    Rub the oil all over the fish and season. Heat a griddle
    pan or BBQ, cook the fish for 3 mins, then turn over and
    cook for 3 mins on the other side until charred and just
    cooked through.

    For the salsa, toss together the mango, spring onions,
    chile, lime zest and juice and coriander. Serve with
    the grilled fish and salad leaves.

    I still find tabasco more mild. LOL Maybe I just have a really got bottle
    of Frank's?

    I don't like banananananananas on their own, but I really like them in a
    muffin or bread or something like that.

    Title: Copycat Franks Red Hot Sauce
    Categories: Five, Chilies, Vegetables
    Yield: 6 servings

    18 Fresh cayenne peppers;
    - stemmed
    1 1/2 c White vinegar
    2 ts Minced garlic
    1 ta Salt
    1 ts Garlic powder

    There are two different ways to prepare this sauce. You
    can use fresh cayenne peppers, or you can use cayenne
    peppers from your garden that you have canned.


    If you're using fresh cayenne peppers, simply remove the
    ends and measure all of the ingredients into a small
    saucepan.

    Heat over medium heat until boiling.

    Reduce the heat slightly, but so the mixture continues
    to boil.

    Simmer about 20-25 minutes.

    Remove the mixture from heat, carefully pour it into a
    blender & puree until thick and smooth.

    Transfer the mixture back into the saucepan and simmer
    another 15 minutes.

    USING CANNED CAYENNE PEPPERS. If you're using canned
    cayenne peppers, which is what we used in this
    particular recipe --.

    In a blender add 18 peppers, 1 cup of vinegar (we used
    the juice from our home-canned peppers), garlic, salt,
    and garlic powder.

    Cover and puree until smooth.

    Transfer to a saucepan and bring to a boil.

    Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

    The sauce is much better if you allow the flavors to
    marry overnight in the fridge, but if you don't have
    enough time to let it marinate overnight it will still
    turn out great wings!

    MMMMM---- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Tabasco Sauce
    Categories: Five, Chilies
    Yield:

    MMMMM-----------------FERMENTED TABASCO SAUCE------------------------
    5 oz Tbasco peppers; rough chop'd
    2 1/2 tb Sea salt
    1 qt Uchlorinated water
    1 c Wite wine vinegar

    MMMMM---------------NON-FERMENTED TABASCO SAUCE----------------------
    5 oz Tabasco peppers
    1/4 ts Slt
    1 c Ewhite wine vinegar

    FOR THE FERMENTED VERSION First, ferment the tabasco
    peppers. You can process them to coarsely chop them or
    rough chop them with a knife. Pack them into a jar,
    leaving at least 1 inch of head space.

    The peppers may rise a bit when fermenting.

    Next, mix 1 quart unchlorinated water with 2 tablespoons
    sea salt. Pour just enough brine over the peppers to
    cover them, pressing them down a bit as you go.

    It is important to keep the peppers covered with brine
    to avoid spoilage. Check this daily.

    Screw on the lid and set the jar away from direct
    sunlight to ferment for at least 1 week. Ideal
    temperatures are between 55-75 degrees F.

    The most active fermentation period is between 1-2
    weeks, so be sure to monitor it during this time. “Burp”
    the jars often by unscrewing the lid a bit to let out
    some of the accumulating gases.

    Or, use an airlock or membrane for easier fermenting.
    See our page, “How to Make Fermented Pepper Mash”, for
    further instruction.

    After 1-2 weeks, the fermenting activity will diminish
    and the brine will turn cloudy and taste acidic.
    Fermenting red serrano peppers in a jar with brine

    Pour the fermented tabasco peppers, including brine,
    into a pot along with vinegar.

    Alternatively, you can strain and toss the brine, then
    add the solids to a pot with vinegar and 1/2 cup water
    or more as desired + 1/4 teaspoon salt.

    Or use only a part of the brine for a thicker sauce.
    More brine = more salty. Bring to a quick boil. Reduce
    heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

    Cool slightly then add to a food processor. Process
    until smooth.

    Strain the mixture to remove the solids. Pour into hot
    sauce bottles and enjoy. You can adjust the volume with
    additional water and/or vinegar.

    FOR THE NON-FERMENTED VERSION Add the tabasco peppers,
    vinegar and ¼ teaspoon salt to a small pot.

    Bring the mixture to a quick boil, then reduce the heat
    and simmer for 15 minutes to soften.

    Cool slightly, then add to a food processor. Process
    until smooth.

    Strain the pepper seeds and pulp mixture to remove the
    solids. Look at how much of the seeds and pulp remains.

    Pour into hot sauce bottles and enjoy.
