In preparation for our Oktvemberfest party this Saturday, a co-worker and I made a bit of fresh sausage - a 45 lb bit! This is what you get from the two shoulders of a pig (~250 lb) from a local farmer. We made two kinds, a Weisswurst style made with pork only and a garlic brat. The photos are of the weisswurst. I finally motorized the grinder and man was that sweet!
I made pretzels last night and I had already decided to make rods instead of twisting as I could fill the baking sheets better. I'd been contemplating a way to not have to roll out all the dough and I though I'd try extruding it with my Kitchen aid stuffing attachment. I omitted the ring that normally holds the auger in place (this would split the dough) figuring back pressure would hold the auger in place. It did!! All I needed was a little oil lube in the horn.
