Duck - the "other" turkey

[Le Canard de Barbarie]

Steve, the recipe looks simple enough that I might give it a try. Never having done this before, what should I use for sausage casings?

That recipe sounds delicious!

We just use natural sausage casings from a local meat store. If you have any stores near you that make their own they might sell you some or order some for you. They come packed in salt and keep for years in the fridge. There are online places as well. sausage maker .com is one that I have used before.

One thing I learned from a German sausage maker along time ago. shhhhhhhhhhh don't tell anybody.

Grind mix grind.

Grind the meat thru a course grinding plate, we use a 3/4 inch. mix in very well the seasonings/spices and put in the fridge over night. Grind it again the next day thru a finer grinding plate. It helps the seasoning get all the way thru the meat.

Well I just went out and bought a small electric meat grinder off eBay and thought I would give it a try.

Steve, what do you use for casings? Is it duck's own intestings or do you buy them somewhere?
(My grandma used pig's intestines to make sausage)

We get them from a local meat store. If your local grocery store makes their own sausage you might be able to buy some or have them order you some. If not google sausage maker .com They carry everything but are sort of pricey.
