The SALAMEDITURGIA file fell out from the post ,digit salamediturgia and click lavorazione.
It is the ancient way to keep the second choice meat of non suine animals in pre fridge days.
The big first choice pieces were dried or smoked or salted,the small pieces vent into salami.
I am struggling to lose weight and fit into last year' s hunting clothes,this salame recipe study is a painful struggle for me.

Here is the recipe of cow meat salami.If the file attaches correctly.
You will see the salame filling machine. Notice:The meat grinder is considered Wicked & sinful.
They use 25 to 30 % of Non smoked bacon or pork lard and add ,wine spices an potassium nitrate.
I believe that saltpeter and pepper allows seasoning and getting the hard salami you want.
While soppressata in the Veneto is a large caliber salame,in some zones of the South is a flat or bent salame containing a lot of chili peppers.
I'll have more accurate news after opening day from my hillibilly friends.

I am also very interested in any hung sausage recipes I do make fresh sausage with Deer,Moose,duck and goose and I would love to have the ability to make the hard dry sausage like soprasata as my family can go through it pretty quickly! Jonathan

:cowboy:Its a crazy world we live in now. I think its leading up to something but only the good Lord knows what and when. All we can do is keep below the horizon and keep our powder dry and wait it out. Best of luck to you.

speaking of greenies,
here in Australia, we have just had the Federal election resulting in a hung parliament with the greens due to control the senate from July next year.
Greens here are animal liberationists/anti mining, anti hunting, anti gun ownership etc etc.
God only knows what will happen.
Election last saturday, 21/8 and we still don't know which party will govern Australia at this time...

We can sometimes get a salame cotto ( might not be the same thing ) and yes, if boiled in water its not the best at all. However have found that if placed in a small skillet then boiled in beer till the beer is about evaporated then taken and grilled on the BBQ its very good. Made up a batch a couple of years ago with pork ( domestic ) and deer meat and when cooked like this ,it was excellent. Have found I need to learn much more about the uses of spices as they actually , along with the process itself , actually make the finished product. Also what would the differance would be with cutting the meat with a knife verses the grinding of the meat? I do not doubt the differance but wonder what it would be. Glad you got your boar, now, enjoy !!

I'll tell you what I know of the SALAME CRUDO,as it is called in this part of the province of Alessandria.
Salame cotto,or to be cooked ( boiled in water)is different,and I do not like it.
Every township has different recipes and the spoken dialect is different ang they give different names to the same sausage.
Salame crudo is made of raw non cooked pork meat or boar meat,it should be cut with the knife,not with the Hamburger making machine.wit a good ,around 30% part of pork fat,i.e.,fresh bacon,or the cheeks or the chin..
KNO3,saltpeter is added with table salt ,malabar pepper,black and white ,a little garlic and some people add a little red or white wine..
The mixture is injected in dry budello,intestines of bovines, tightly bound with natural strings and left hanged in a ventilated cellar in hilly regions.
It was the way they conserved meat in pre refrigerators times.
A local butcher has promised to make me boar “cacciatorini",small salami with my boar meat ,that is waiting in the freezer,as soon the temperature will become colder,in october.So I'll be able to be more exaustive in october.
In the present august heat salami go bad,if you use the old recipes.

And here's Piri appreciating corn.
I am standing upon a high wall,throwing corn to the hog,like being on a castle wall looking down into the ditch.
Attached Files
Here's Piri,a lone mature male ,waiting hidden in the brush and thorns.
We pass on the main road and drop some corn ,and call him and he comes to eat the corn.
The road is winding and in a steep hill,it would be impossible to render Piri under our possession without been seen prom the passing vehicles.
But when the season will open we are planning to throw in the hounds and ambush Piri away from the road,where shooting is legal.

Giorgio; You have no idea how much pleasure I get from watching your posts regarding hunting in Europe. We are beginning to be bothered by the “greenies” who understand NOTHING, here in the USA. It will only get worse as time goes on. It can be REALLY frustrating.
At any rate, I enjoy your posts on hunting and shooting in Europe. When my oldest son was stationed in Europe my wife and I made several trips there and thoroughly enjoyed our excursions.
Keep up the good work!

I know what skatàmeans in ancient Greek.,and I acnowledge that the outer appearance does not make justice to my Wild boar bonbons.
Yesterday evening I ate the last survivor.
As soon as the temperatures cool down ,in september or october,a local butcher will make salamini crudi,called cacciatorini,with the boar meat that waits in my freezer.
And when it will be cold enough to light the kitchen wood stove,I'll make some stew with onions white wine and polenta.
Pic :butchering boars,in the last season.

Looks delicious. I always enjoy the pictures. I was just teasing about the scat. Sometimes my twisted sense of humor goes too far.

Italian home made salami are not made to be pleasing to the eye but to please the palate 's taste.
This is the cellar of a Farm in Tuscany,you can see big wooden wine casks and a triumph of salami hanging from the ceiling.of various ages.
They are made from domestic pork.

I am also interested in the RD molds. Got my first one a few months ago, used. It's a 265 gr. .444 mold.
I will be back in business, full time around November 1. I should have about 90% of my bullet designs available all of the time and special runs of the others as needed. Lube & Size Kits will also be available.
One problem I had in the past was storage, I just finished a new building on my ranch that will take care of all my needs. Molds and Kits take up a lot of room and need to be keep in a temperature/humidity controlled environment. My web site also needed to be reconsidered. Updates are painful and there is no accounting. I'm taking care of that right now. Every thing should be in place in a couple of months.
So as to keep this reply on topic, I have this fellow about 300 yards behind my new building. I try to keep bullet test media available at all times ;)

Thanks for the picture Mr. Buffalo! I see you have succumbed to the seductive call of the .444. I am also interested in the RD molds. Got my first one a few months ago, used. It's a 265 gr. .444 mold. I haven't tried it yet in my new H&R single shot accessory barrel, but did try it in a postal match in a Ruger SBH .44 mag with a Red Dot sight. I figured I would be getting groups like Dale does but no cigar. The red dot sight is not magic afterall and a mediocre shooter is still a mediocre shooter regardless of the fancy sights used. By the way, when I first saw the picture of the sausage links I thought it was some scat somebody saved for some reason! I'm sure it tastes better than it looks.

Everything is big in Texas.Texan guts included.
In Italy the provinces of Genoa and Alessandria,are ruled by catholic -marxist greenies,that are the usual ignorant ,envious losers,and they are skizophrenic about hunting,and game management.
They do not want to pay to the landowners (Horrible capitalists) for the damages made by the herds of pigs,but they do not want us to kill them,so the pig population
is abundant ,and the hunting season is short.
As anybody who has a little serious knowledge in game management knows the legal hunting pressure will not eradicate any varmint if the environement can furnish shelter ,food and water to the critters.
Theese idiots are spending lots of public money for a study the high mortality rate among the ibex kids in the Gran Paradiso Park.,where any hunting is illegal.since 1943 .
Being liberal greenies they do not understand that the park is overpopulate by the ibex,and when a territory is overpopupulated only the adults eat,the kids starve.
Judicious hunting would solve the problem ,bringing big money to the Park authority.
Admire some Valtrebbia pigs enjoying biscuit crumbs.
