Pork

[cdub]

Don't forget to buy your 1$/lb pork at thriftys this week

[Glenny]

All over it. Hitten them tomorrow morn. Snaussage O plenty.

[Daybreak]

Mmmm snaussage.

You have a good sense of humour Glenny.

[Glenny]

Thanks Db. Kudos to your snaussage making abilities. Hows the killer Kilbasa? Gone I bet. lol

Thanks for the heads up too Cdub.

Made a small batch of frankfurters today. Have never tried emulsifying before but all seemed to work with about 5hrs in smoker and finnished in water. Nice light brown colour and plump.

[Glenny]

Cewl. Pretty fine grind on those puppies eh?

[Daybreak]

Whipped up a second batch. Made it a bit more flavourful by increasing a few spices. It's really good but man,... a guys got to watch out for eating too much. Too easy to hack a chunk off and again and again and again. I give at least half of it away to friends and family and then freeze what's left to prevent me living off the stuff.

No Thrifty's in the interior but I'll watch the local stores for a comparable deal.

Holy crap man... you make me laugh! Nobody talks about frankfurters like that.

[Glenny]

Stop, you're killing me.

Hi Cdubs. Got pics of the Frankenfurters?
haaaallalalalallaal.

[Getbent]

Do you guy's get back fat to add to the leg that is on sale?
Not as high a fat content in the leg as the shoulder...for making sausage.

Great for doing as a prosciutto or smoking as a ham.
Definitely cheap and back fat can be purchased for sure, just gotta get your ratios right I assume?

just wondering...

[Sharpish]

Giddy up! I was walking through Thrifty's and saw them, they are pretty freakin huge. I passed, thinking they weren't fatty enough for sausage making. But now I think I will give it a shot.

Those legs on sale at TF are front legs so plenty of fat. What I will do is cut some roasts as well and trim down the fat on those roasts and the spare fat go for snaussage.

[Daybreak]

Like Christmas all over again eh Glenny!:)

[Sharpish]

Thanks Glenny I'm going to do that.

[Glenny]

Well for sure the best boxing week deal going, year after year.:grin:

[Getbent]

The Thrifty's Flyer shows how to debone the leg and they explain how to remove the aitch bone which is a hip bone.
No hip bone in the front leg...has anyone bought one yet this year?
Only curious as I have to go out of the way to get some and don't want hams at this point only shoulders....

Clarification would be great...actually just called them...they are indeed hind legs, still an awesome price however....

[Sharpish]

I just bought one. Fairly sure it's the hind. The diameter of at the thickest part is 14". Hey glenny, can you grind up the skin as well for snausage or is that not recommended?

[cdub]

Tease me all you want. I know you want to come to my sausage parties

[Glenny]

Think it might be hard on the blades and the bite. I save the skin for kracklins party's or chicharones (sp?) So dubs you can come to my kracklins parties if I can come to your saasitch parties. :-)

I did think they were front portions (Butt) ,my mistake, but they do have plenty o fat on them. They have always worked good for my snaussages and never had to buy extro fat as I will take aome of the leanest parts for roasts. But if you need extra you will most likely pay more for it that the meat.

[Glenny]

The yield from my leg du puerko.
The rolls are the skin for kracklins. Mound o fat and long cut strips of pork as they just slide down the spout into the grinder. A little pile of lean for the hand diced hunks that go in my really course snaussage and a couple nice roasts ready to cook with scored kracklins on top.

[Philcott]

Damn, I was caught sleeping and missed the sale. If anyone hears of another please post here.

[bighornbob]

Save-on should have theirs on sale in the next few weeks

[Sharpish]

Just cut mine up, you were right glenny, PLENTY of fat on these suckers. About an inch of beautiful hard white fat under the skin. It's a lot harder than breaking down a deer!!! Slippery suckers and the skin is tough to get off the fat. I think next time I will cut the skin with the fat off the muscle and then remove the fat from the skin in a second step.

[elkhunterette]

Yes, missed it too....need to know when one of the other stores has it on.......please!!!!

yes pretty much what I did this time. way easier. I just skinned the whole leg, then boned,,,,,

[44inchStone]

I missed it too!!!! sucks! was out of town.
last year I bought over 300 lbs worth. Butcher hated me!! Especially walking out the door with that much I think he lost money. Never heard of save on selling the legs but if anyone hears of when their sale is, please post ASAP! Thanks

[MBOGO]

Save On usually has the hinds on sale the 3rd week of January.

[Sharpish]

Made up a batch of breakfast sausage last night, 50% moose chuck, 25% fatty pork meat, 25% pork fat. Ground it up really fine, added spices, pressed it into patties. Delicious!

[elkhunterette]

I heard that Save On might be having their pork legs on next week.
