Beauty. Did you coat them in acidophilus? I've got some pals over for a session next Sunday, might take some pics.

And why isn't your shed full of spiders' webs?

We made them at Brownbear's on Sunday. Haven't coated them with anything but they've got starter culture in the meat mix.
Can't remember the exact quantities of stuff used. Sorry. Basically it's coarsely minced belly pork, seasoning, salt, nitrate, and starter culture. The quantities were whatever/kilo it said on the packet.

and just how tough is your chorizo that you need those tools to cut a slice?

No, if you look closely the third nail from the left is bent.... clearly 'one of us'.....

What does the starter culture turn things into?

It's acidophilus (I think), which is a benign wee beastie and prevents the nasties from taking over your sausage.
