Gooing to do the other Teriyaki stick first (Meat mixer post)

The Droewors will take around 6-7 days.

Is this the stuff that has a slightly sour fermented taste?  My buddies wife is from SA and he occasionally brings in stuff for us to try.

In light of my recent posts regarding a certain swimming mammal, I have to say "how can you eat those cute little lambs. They run around and play and have such sweet little faces". OK I will go back to my corner now.  How do you pronounce this word "Droewors".

"how can you eat those cute little lambs.

Generally speaking, with plenty of garlic, a slice of etorki, some crusty sheepherder Bread and nice bottle of Rioja.
Eskerrik asko! ;) :D

Ok got the GB and lamb going.

Bonless lamb. Only need 1 3/4 lb but might as well grind er up.
(http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab242/nepas1/new/DSC01267.jpg)


My dry in the bowl.
(http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab242/nepas1/new/DSC01269.jpg)


Mixed together good.
(http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab242/nepas1/new/DSC01272.jpg)


The wet items.
(http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab242/nepas1/new/DSC01270.jpg)


Ground beef and lamb. Mixing this by hand because i dont want to render to much of the fat out. Its hot out today.

Normally i mix the dry with the wet but i'm going another route by shaking the dry into the meat, mixing well then adding the wet.

Before the dry and wet. 3 1/4 lb GB and 1 3/4 lb lamb
(http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab242/nepas1/new/DSC01271.jpg)


After
(http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab242/nepas1/new/DSC01273.jpg)

Cover tight and fridge for 24 hours. Then stuff.

Dunno what a Droewor is, but that's a beast of a dehydrator!

How do you pronounce this word "Droewors".

Late to the party, but I can answer with some authority on this one...  an ex-girlfriend that I spent 7 years with is a born and bred Saffer from the foothills of the Drakensburg.  The word means "Dry Sausage"....  and said like a South African is pretty much like "Dra vose".... although it's a bit difficult to phonetically write in an Afrikaner english accent  :-\
