I wish more people were as excited about sausage and salami as I am.
I was raised poor and we couldn't afford such things from a store even if the had it.
It was when I was maybe 15-16 years old that I had my first taste of summer sausage at a rich ladies house.
We were watching the Good the Bad and the Ugly movie.
My parents weren't there.
I thought I had died and went to haven.
Then around 22 or so I had my first Bratwurst.
It was in Germany, again heaven.
Somewhere around the age of 24 or so I started making my own with a little chop wright meat grinder that belonged to my wife's grandmother.
We had lots meat growing up but not cured smoked sausage and salami.
There was talk of a smoke house and so on but it never came to pass.

To me cured sausage and salami was for rich folks.

Then in the service I discovered dry salami, what the thing to behold.
From then on I never looked back and continued my quest for the perfect salami.
I didn't even know what yogurt was until I was in the Marines.
But my mom made the best corned beef from fresh meat.
