Bear Salami???

[bucket]

Well, I was 99.99% sure I *told* the butcher I wanted half Bear Sausage, half Bear Salami -- but bringing things in from a hunting trip you are kind of out of it so I am not saying anyones done wrong, nor am I upset!

Anyhow, went to pick it up and I have half cheddar/jalapeno smokies (correct!) and half bear salami. Bit of a curveball, all the recipe work I've been doing was more for sausage meat - wanted to do burritos, spaghetti etc..


Anyone have hints as to what can be *cooked* from bear salami ? I dont' care if there is extra work. I just want to have some fun with it, and not just eat 1000 salami sandwiches haha..

Thanks guys!

lots of sausage fprom a bear eh.? you"ll be eating it for a long while. I found that it goes pretty quick jusut cutting big chunks of salami and cooking them on a stick over the fire when youve got 10 other hungry beer drinkers around. you'll be the hit of the party

salami sticks cooked over a campfire while ice fishing always good, sliced thin pan fried with eggs for breaky.

I put my bear salami on pizza. Get a meat slicer and away you go!

Cheese and crackers are awesome too

This past spring I did chorizo, farmer sausage, salami & peperoni from Kurt at Sumas Meats... All of it is fantastic as usual.. the farmer sausage is a huge hit with everyone. The salami I have been running through the meat slicer and using it on pizza and it also makes fantastic lunch meat for sandwiches.

Cube it up and use it in chili.

i'm also a little confussed

I thought half Summer Sausage and half Salami -- but it came as Half Cheddar/Jalapeno Smokie and half Salami. I was hoping to have some uncooked in casings to make with.. But i think i will just cube up the smokies and make a chilli, but only put the meat in for the last hour.

Smokies vs Sausage is just cured vs uncured, no ?

Cheers!

A smokie is a type of sausage, just like salami, pepperoni, bratwurst, chorizo, summer sausage, bangers etc. Pretty much any meat in a natural or synthetic casing is a sausage, whether or not it's cured. Both smokies and summer sausage are typically cured.

I have made smokies both cured and uncured, but I pretty much make all my sausage cured these days other than english bangers and breakfast sausage, just in case you are too inebriated to make sure you cook it through.

I have a 300 page Sausage Bible that has been passed down and it's ridiculous the amount of information and different types of sausage there are.

your only restricted in its use by your imagination. Its a meat product that is ready to eat or you can heat it, get er done!

put in omlettes
fry it with perogies
cube it in mac and cheese

OK, well, I just had 2 of the smokeys they finally arrived. Nevermind the worry, this sh*t is amazing!! Packed up about 120 huge smokies and 6 * 8lb salamis and that's only 2/3 of the meat, my hunting buddy got the rest. All I can say is YUM

[r106]

I think the next bear I get will go half peperoni half smokies. I've never had bear smokies but I have heard they are great

Ya the cheddar jalapeno smokies are delicious man, now that I have gotten working with this stuff its amazing..
