For one reason or another I haven't got round to it, but I'm going back to London in an hour or so and provided there's a packet of bactoferm in my postbox (which there ought to be!) I am back on the sausage-making trail this weekend!!<br /><br />I'm going to hit the butchers in the morning to try to get hold of some pig's liver for figatellu. If not I think I'll just knock-up another batch of saucisson sec....maybe chuck an interesting flavour or two in there...<br /><br />Been checking out your blog mate - salami looks awesome!The Sausage Jockeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646538080611193998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4957204371850582308.post-10834534969944663372012-07-06T10:27:22.172-07:002012-07-06T10:27:22.172-07:00Have you had a chance to have a go at your figatel...Have you had a chance to have a go at your figatellu yet?Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11958646931750600520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4957204371850582308.post-74601445292351042422012-05-22T05:59:14.413-07:002012-05-22T05:59:14.413-07:00Fractal Angel, thanks for the link.

I must say though, it's not the most scientific of recipes - I will still have to follow my basic saucisson sec recipe for amount of curing salt, drying time etc.<br /><br />Max, nice work on the smoker, and good thinking on the dustbin incinerator - keep me posted on how you get on. Having posted this figatellu blog I've realised, sadly, that I'm not going to be able to actually make it until the second week of June....so you might use your proQ in anger before I do, so can give me some tips! :)The Sausage Jockeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646538080611193998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4957204371850582308.post-80777163658062071742012-05-22T01:13:19.216-07:002012-05-22T01:13:19.216-07:00My proQ cold smoker arrived yesterday, sadly I hav...My proQ cold smoker arrived yesterday, sadly I have nothing to smoke.

Only £30 too - the manufacturer's called proQ. The major benefit is that it doesn't require a constant flame, so you can use any old vessel for the smoking - the website suggests putting it in the bottom of a lidded barbeque in place of the coals and lying the stuff to be smoked on the grill.<br /><br />...will let you know how it works on my sausages.The Sausage Jockeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646538080611193998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4957204371850582308.post-20472063966709169322012-05-16T02:11:09.568-07:002012-05-16T02:11:09.568-07:00The cold smoke generator looks good, I had no idea...The cold smoke generator looks good, I had no idea those small doodads existed. I've been wanting to try my hand at German knackwuerst but it needs to be smoked to get the proper effect.
