Meat!

I have completed my family's annual "ground hogs day" once more! Our freezers now contain varying portions of pork. Though the quantity of pork has been dwindling over the years as my uncles are all dieting and not eating so much pork and my cousins are moving away from home leaving the households to be smaller. Still, we produce significant portions of sausage. You cannot buy good sausage in a store. Homemade stuff is the only way to go. Just don't ask what's in liver sausage, because I have intentionally blanked the ingredients of that particular type of sausage from my memory.

So does anyone else around here partake in the meat-making practices? Can store-bought sausage actually be good? Is there something decidedly unhealthy about eating pork? Is this even worth making a thread about? I leave you to decide!

    Heck, deer meat is always better.

    A mixture of venison and pork and maybe some beef too actually comes out pretty good. Deer are very lean by themselves. The venison tends to be dry on its own.

    I don't like Venison, I don't know why.

    I always picture a prancing happy deer frolicking around the forest when I'm eating it.

    That's why it's so good.

    I had maple sausage one time. It was pretty bad.

    You can cook venison so it's not dry. I've had it salt-casted, and it comes out awesome.

    Meat can be soo good when it’s turned into jerky. Beef jerky, venison jerky, turkey jerky, and bacon are all so delicious. I just need better jerky making recipes. It seems that when I try making jerky, it doesn’t turn out as savory and spicy as when my uncles prepare it.

    Blood sausage >:3

    Liver sausage is good, the pork kind.

    Blood jelly and fried brains are yumyum.

    I'm not always sure that Exah isn't a zombie. I don't think she is but I'm open to the possibility.
    Furthermore, I've heard that liver sausage of the pork kind is good many times, but it's harder to eat it when you know what it is. And blood sausage just make me shiver to even think of it. I don't like blood.

    Exah's a girl? A girl on MY INTERNET!?

    It's a trick. Get an axe.

    Soylent green is people!

    I tried ostrich jerky over the weekend, it tasted like salami, but I didn't really like it.

    If you're ever in San Fran, hit up Rosamunde's Sausage Grill and if you're 21, Toronado's next door. Awesome sausage place next door to beer heaven.

    If you're ever in Baton Rouge, leave.

    If you're ever in North Dakota, you clearly made a wrong turn somewhere.
