Abe Froman Sausage King

It was not Ferris Bueller (aka Abe Froman Sausage King of Chicago)'s Day off, it was Zeb Scherer's Day off. Today Zeb was the Sausage King... of Nome.

For Christmas I got Zeb a meat grinder, good deal at the local AC store during a 50% off sale. Zeb saved some deer meat from his Wisconsin Hunt to be later processed into burger or sausage. Today after the big Packer Win, was a great day to complete the processing task. Considering it was -30 with the wind.

We purchased some pork fat last time we were in Anchorage. No sausage would be complete without a bit of fat.

After you grind it through once with the fat, then add in the seasonings, ours came from The Sausage Maker.com.

After it is seasoned, grind a second time and put into freezer bags.
This sideways video gives you an indication of the noise factor and fun from this sausage party:)

What a fun way to party during the Packer "WIN". Good job Zeb. You look like a pro. Can't wait to have some breakfast sausage in March. See you all soon!

Best wishes,
SP

Ha. I do that every week, except with sheep meat and it is a hand meat grinder.

And it is not sausage, it is just because I want ground meat..:)
