In this episode, Adam Berkelmans and Justin Townsend join Nick on the show to discuss the intricacies of sausage making, focusing on the newly released book 'The Art of Venison Sausage Making.' They explore the science behind sausage making, essential tips for novices, and the social aspects of the craft. The conversation also delves into various types of sausages, the importance of casings, and the joy of creating unique flavors. The hosts emphasize that sausage making is not only a culinary skill but also a fun and engaging activity that can be enjoyed with friends and family. Sausage making is both an art and a science, requiring attention to detail and a willingness to learn. One of the most important aspects is keeping all ingredients cold throughout the process to ensure a quality product. For beginners, using pre-made seasonings can simplify the experience and lead to more consistent results. Beyond the technical side, sausage making can also be a social and enjoyable event—perfect for gatherings or "sausage parties" where friends and family come together to learn and create. Experimenting with different flavors, ingredients, and techniques adds a personal touch, while understanding the role and types of casings is crucial for success. The process does demand time and patience, but it's rewarding. For those just getting started, the referenced book serves as an excellent introduction to the craft of sausage making.
