thanks. some of these look great. i have a 5 lifetime supply of applewood, so am going to try the bacon, plus others [i'll make lomo unsmoked and smoked. i generally prefer smoked, in the austro-hungarian style]. for what it is worth, i made some pancetta which i heavily cold hickory smoked. the best bacon i've ever had by far. can be eaten raw or fried.

What are the odds of 2 people from Milwaukee WI on a primarily UK based forum?

Thank you Phil for the link. This chef is contradicting the accepted business model that you can't produce foods in-house and be profitable. I love when that happens!

for vindii regarding the odds of 2 people from milwaukee: there was a fellow using "croat" as a "name" a while back; he was also from milwaukee. i suppose the suasage tradition of the central/eastern europeans that live in the milwaukee area, plus the many superb sausage makers on every block when we were kids in the 1950s/60s, plus nearby usingers/johnsonville/klements etc, plus the many breweries when we were kids [brats and beer], plus the homade sausages at ethnic weddings and ethnic festivals when we were kids [and even now], plus making sausage with grandfather [when we were kids], plus the ready availability of ingredients and suppplies locally; plus pure co-incidence, because the same could be said for chicago, pittsbutgh, cleveland etc. probably just co-incidence. wisconsin is sausage heaven. i just toured pennsylvania from west to east and did not find even one rural shop that sold ho-made sausages; not even in lncaster county. here in wisonsin you fall all over them. pleased to meet you, bro!

Funny you mention your PA trip. Some of the guys on my grilling forum that live down south say they cant even buy sausage at the grocery store. Almost every local store around here sells homemade sausage. Must be rough.
