Submitted by Aaron Santos on Tue, 2013-07-16 13:46
Thought I'd share a photo from the weekend.,
In my opinion its a definite contender for POTM.
The only good thing about the colder months is we get to make these.
Now bring back summer.

Terry Because you are using

Because you are using real intestines, they are naturally coiled in your abdomen.
We also use the real deal intestines. They seem to be more resistant to filling (less chances of the skin ripping whilst filling).

Making mine this weekend,
Making mine this weekend, but this year I am going to use ox intestines. They are a little fatter so when they dry and shrink they are a decent size still. My cousin made them last week and they were mint. Love this time of the year.

nice - do you smoke any?
We did our first pig last year and built a smoker. Did 4 varieties of sausage out of it plus cured and smoked some speck, pancetta and bacon.
Also made some smoked Spanish mack which came up pretty well too.
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

this is a tradition my Nonno
this is a tradition my Nonno passed down to my Dad and he has taught me. It will be passed onto my kids as well. It really is like Christmas when we do it. on the Vino and liquors first thing in the morning to warm us up with a couple of espressos. usually finished by 12 and then the big feast with family and friends. Food comas that arvo.
Great to be a part of.
