A sausage fest, indeed.

nightbocci and her husband John, aka the New Apprentice, came over yesterday. She socialized upstairs while John and I played in our kitchen. Part of our contract is that John owes me a corvee of twelve work days per year - which really means that we schedule a monthly work day to focus on something. This was the first one and we had a terrific time. Plus, we both learned things.
Hand chopping the meat is the more authentic way to make the sausage. Does it make a meaningful difference, given that it is much more effort than getting pre-ground meat or grinding it yourself? That's what we wanted to find out. It was a good experiment and I'm using it as this week's Resolution Recipe since while I've made this before, we tried four different ways.
( Or, four variations on a theme. )
