Grinding Mild Sausage & First Taste Test
At 9:16 in
FINAL DAY 3: Appalachian Heritage Old Timey Hog Killing...Seasoning Bacon.. How to Make Sausage
What happens here
A small portion of the thoroughly mixed and seasoned pork is fed into the 'General Model D' sausage grinder, which has a 3/16-inch plate. The meat is pushed through, emerging as freshly ground sausage into a clean metal pan. A small patty is formed from this ground meat and then cooked in a frying pan on a stovetop. After cooking, the patty is inspected for texture (it should not fall apart) and then taste-tested. The presenter notes that this first test batch needs "a touch more seasoning" and emphasizes that additional salt can always be added after cooking. The texture is deemed perfect, with enough grease to make gravy.
Goal: Test the seasoning of the mild sausage batch by grinding and cooking a small sample.
