Last night: Germany

We made a Bavarian hot pork sausage and a Frankfurter style sausage.

First, I prepared the casings by rinsing off the salt, soaking, checking for leaks, then softening with in water with vinegar.

Results: The Bavarian hot sausage is almost too hot. The Frankfurter is good, although one of the casings burst in the water bath making quite a mess. (Also, I've now typed Frankenfurter instead of Frankfurter three times, sigh). Last night was a comedy of error and the sausages weren't ready until after midnight hence waiting to post until this morning.
