Sausages

I think I mentioned in an earlier post that for me, the Taste of London festival was a very pork orientated event. So, here is some more pork....We walked past the "Simply Sausages" stand, on the sniff for free samples. There were none to be had just yet, but were told there was to be a demo of sausage making soon, and then tasters. So we hung around for a bit longer to wait to see the sausage

Somehow I’ve managed to make a big mistake, I’m not sure how it happened but I hang my head in shame. I’ve lived in Wisconsin for 8 years and I’m just now finding out about Usinger’s sausages. It seems unthinkable… all the sausages I could have eaten but didn’t. I promise to make up for [...]

Polish Sausages and Vaseline bought separately arouse little or no suspicion … but bought together certainly may raise an eyebrow or two.  Of course the Vaseline could be for dry skin and the sausages simply for eating.  Nothing more.  On the other hand, there could be a little extra something going on [...]

Germany: Two air force sergeants based at Fürstenfeldbruck with an "interest in cookery" are to be court martialed after making Blotwurst sausages using breadcrumbs, onions, spices, bacon - and their own blood.The pair were reportedly trying to increase the scale of their productions and had asked for blood donations from other servicemen and their families. Pictures of the cooking process were posted online by one of the two.The pair were only caught when another soldier approached military officials and said, "I have been asked to give blood for sausage-making and I want to know if this is against regulations."

On a trip to Puerto Rico I tried some blood sausage.  I didn’t like it but at least I can say I have tried it.  I never really gave much thought as to where the blood came from.  Maybe I should have.  Two German army cooks were recently busted for making sausages with their own [...]

I'll get the Write-Away Contest results out later this morning, they're coming I promise--but for the moment here's a thought to let you savor:Andrew was reading on the couch after dinner--probably his Fortune magazine--when Lillian approached with a very serious face."Dad?""Hmmm?""What if you were doing a handstand?"He turned a page and she continued, "And then what if when you were doing the handstand you had your eyes closed and then when you were doing the handstand and had your eyes closed you had sausages hanging from your feet. What would you do?""What?" He said, looking up from the magazine."Do you like sausages?""Sure, yea I like sausages.""Okay."Ah, life with Lillian. And with sausages.

It’s time for another round of food review and this time, the focus is on the famous Pork Ball and Pork Sausage Noodles from San Jian Zhuang. This however, is not the San Jian Chuang which you find in shopping centres. Rather, this is the San Jian Zhuang which is found at many hawker stalls which display the name in Chinese, meaning “3 adjoining shops”. For this review, I went to the proprietor’s stall at Lot 3474, Main Street, Jinjang Utara, KL. Operating from a stall within a coffee shop in Jinjang next to Public Bank, Mr. Yap Yok Foo has been in the business of selling pork ball noodles for about 30 years after learning the trade from his late father. Word has it that his father learnt the skills from one Chan Fatt Kam, who in turn learned the skills from a mainland Chinese who came to Malaya before World War 2. The name San Jian Zhuang was said to have been the referral point to this famous pork ball noodles sold during the days of Chan Fatt Kam at Jalan Silang and hence

The Jaunt presents some of the best tailgating recipes from around the web or from good old-fashioned cook books. Each month we will post a new recipe that we probably aren't talented enough to cook up ourselves. The featured concoction this month is similar to the fare served at Coors Field; home to the white-hot Colorado Rockies. "When making Ballpark Sausages, I add a secret ingredient — fresh fennel — to my sautéed veggies when it’s available. This aromatic plant has pale green, celery-like stems and bright green, feathery foliage. It has a broad, bulbous base that is treated like a vegetable. Fennel is often mislabeled “sweet anise.” The flavor of fennel, however, is sweeter and more delicate than anise and, when cooked, becomes even lighter and more elusive than when it is raw."Ballpark SausagesFrom the kitchen of Carol Ann Kates, author of “Secret Recipes from the Corner Market”Serves 6This is a fun, creative way to serve your favorite sausage.

The European Food Safety Authority has released a human-health warning against the food coloring E128, also known as Red 2G, citing new scientific evidence of its carcinogenicity.E128 is a water-soluble, synthetic red azo dye. Once in the body, it converts into an oily substance called aniline. Rats and mice injected with aniline developed cancerous tumors, leading the EFSA panel to release a statement saying, "... it cannot be excluded that aniline's carcinogenic potential is due to damage to the genetic material of the cells," and recommended that the dye should no longer be considered safe for human consumption.The Food Safety Authority of Ireland banned the additive as of July, after the release of the findings. E128 is already banned in many other countries, including Australia, Norway, Sweden and--according to Wikipedia--the United States.The fact that the concerns about aniline's safety goes all the way back to the 1980's should tell you something abo

Mr Hopgood has a Play Station 3. I know because he let me have a go on it this afternoon at his barbecue. He also has a 50" wide screen plasma TV. We have only got an old flat screen thing and Dad has hardly got a telly at all. He watches Crimewatch on a portable on top of a chest of drawers in his room at Granny Leeks'.The food was all right I suppose. Mr Hopgood had one of those barbecues you don't need coal for. It was lit by gas. Mr Hopgood did all the cooking. He wore this embarrassing apron which made him look like he had a hairy chest and medallion. Mum seemed to think it was really funny but then she thinks anything is funny after a couple of Bacardi Breezers.I ate two burgers, three sausages, four chicken drumsticks and a kebab.Miv refused to eat anything. Instead she sulked all afternoon because she wanted to go down the Rec. but Mum wouldn't let her. Miv can be a real pain sometimes.Fat Bob ate four and a half sausages then spent the rest of the afternoon digging up Mr Pu

Tesco's shop assistants are so inner.Next they'll be asking me if my nan enjoyed her bath after her dinner.Mind your business, *twitchs* I said.. I said Mind YOUR BUSINESS.

A Welsh sausage maker has been warned that it must clearly label is Welsh Dragon Sausages to meet regulations. Just think of all those people who thought they were eating a mythical beast! But it doesn't end there. What about Monster Munch? Fairy Washing Up Liquid? and Lion Bars??? There's so much deception in this twisted world of ours. It's time we were told the truth for once!
