English Sausages Made In Portugal...

Such language Mr Hughes... :Eeek:

Surely "a very, very long one" would have made the point just as well... :Wink:

(I hope Tilly can't read some of your posts... she would be really shocked!" :Rofl1:)

(Obviously Lynn is used to them by now...)

JJ :Cool:
 
I assume they would stretch and you would get less than 5 yards (due to circumerance increasing thus making the total shorter). you should end up with between 50 and 60 sausages depending of course how long you make them (as long as your frying pan is wide), after all why cook two at a time when you can do one. hee hee Store them in your flat freezer and they will soon get eaten by visitors, ha ha
 
I hope should I decide to visit Portugal JJ, you will treat me to a Snoopy-on-a-bike shaped sausage?

God knows how you'd fry that evenly though!

Do any of you experienced sausage makers know how many sausages I can make with 5 yards of sausage casing? :BigGrin:

when you first try about 6 odd shaped ones:Rofl1::Rofl1::Rofl1:
then you will throw the rest in the bin if you are anything like me:Eeek:
Saying whos stupid idea was this:Rofl1:
 
i reckon 1 very long one cooked in a paella pan would do nicely, curled round and round like those cumberland sausages, but i would wait till you have visitors for that one - otherwise you might 'over sausage' yourself and never fancy another one :thumb:

Could this be the perfect use for an empty FB Pie tin - to gauge the optimum length of sausage? :Laughing:
 
The sausage making equipment arrived this morning... :thumb:

I have been to the supermarket and bought the meats...

I have bought kitchen scales and a mixing bowl from the Chinese shop...

I have returned to the Wagon and washed all the equipment...

Just having a coffee before I do a test run and manufacture 1lb of Traditional Style English Sausages...

Exciting or what?...

JJ :Cool:

PS... not happy about the mincer or burger press colour but what can you do?

all awaiting a video of the sausage making and the result in a frying pan, so get a move one, hee hee:Rofl1::Rofl1::Rofl1::Rofl1::Rofl1:
 
Hi JJ
Having been in the trade and made sausages for over 25 years I will try and help you,in my day beef sausage had to be 40% meat and pork,sausage50% ,meat being a mix
of lean and fat for pork sausage best to use belly pork,and for beef brisket the rest of the sausage was made up from rusk and seasoning.As has been said this will make one long sausage that is your aim, sausages are not strung but linked a bit like long balloons it's a matter of twisting .Skins (sheep) come salted and need to be soaked.After mincing and making sausage mix put nozzle on mincer and skins on the nozzle (tip) open end of skin with 2 fingers inserted and dip into bowl of water forming a small bubble in the skin apply skin to nozzle holding back the bubble with thumb and forefinger in left hand with right hand feed on to nozzle till all skin is on.Are you still with me!! the art is to not over fill thus enabling the twisting to form the links with out it bursting.4 sausages to the foot to link.Squeeze the sausage meat so theres no meat between the thumb and forefinger this is your first sausage,now squeeze again 2 sausage lengths down and connect by twisting where the first sausage was formed you now have 1 sausage and a loop now take long sausage in right hand while holding up with the left and feeding through loop you have now completed your first link by pressing the long bit at the bottom of the loop and twisting.Or you could go out for a curry.

PPS HOW DID EVERTON AND CITY GO ON.

Thanks for the professional advice Dave... surprised I didn't hear from you earlier...and not about the sausages... :Rofl1:

HERE THEY ARE FUNSTERS...

The first, test batch...

Just going to fry a bit of left over mix... fingers crossed on the taste...

Have just had a taste and OMG! Just as I wanted them... yummy... I did, as suspected, put in a little too much seasoning but will adjust with the next batch... well happy...

JJ :Cool:

Just read your tips and hints Dave... top stuff and thanks so much... did most of what you say re mix but you have really helped me with the "stringing" the sausages. Don't mind your lot getting three points off us now....

Good advice Dave but I wanted them to be "smooth" like the cheap crappy sausages I love from Sainsburys... so I minced with a 6 and then re-minced the mix again... 75% pork, lean and belly pork mixed...

We can talk sausages and footy at Marjal! :thumb:

JJ :Cool:

Well done JJ,at least you know what is in your sausages :thumb:Proper meat not the reclaimed spin dryer stuff from the big boys.:Eeek: ENJOY :Wink:

Well I have to say, all knocking aside, to me those sausages do, actually, look good enough to eat, JJ ! Mind you, I expected you to be able to 'link' bearing in mind the practice you've had with balloons!

Incidentally although I normally turn my nose straight up at 'manufactured' stuff - including FB pies - I'm afraid I don't really like 'too much meat' sausages, or rather I think it might be because the ones you get in France aren't minced fine enough for me whereas I do enjoy good quality butcher's sausages here. Just don't know a local good quality butcher! Portugal is a bit off my normal shopping route ......

I wish to announce that there will soon be an English Sausage Maker located in Central Portugal...

Although it is possible to buy frozen English Bangers in the Algarve (which is frequented by hoards of Brits), it is not possible for me to get the sort of sausages I like around here.

Stimulated by the recent success of my home made burgers, I decided to try to make my own sausages. Guided by Mel and Christine (Heyupluv) and the internet, I have just ordered all the necessary equipment from Blighty and at the end of next week I hope to produce a batch of superb, tasteless, English sausages just like I use to buy back home...:BigGrin:
