I've used these guys for all my sausage making needs for several years. After I got the "Sausage Making and Meat Curing" book by Rytek Kutas where there are hundreds of sausage recipes I never looked pack. Rytek was a lifetime sausage maker, owned several shops, invented equipment and marketed all the stuff you need - seasonings, cures, casings natural and synthetic, equipment and info.
The book is a great read. Try their web page. Rytek is dead now, but his life work lives on.

That Chinese Pork and Shrimp Sausage looks really interesting. Next on the list!

[Ka Honu]

I can see it now...

Ka Honu - "Remember we decided that I would not buy a grinder and stuffer and the other accouterments and start making sausage?"

SWMBO - "Yes, and it was a wonderful decision - you've already got enough toys cluttering up the kitchen, lanai, pantry, and several closets."  

Ka Honu - "Well, maybe I should just get a small starter kit, Honey, so I can treat you to some of these awesome recipes from 10.5.  They look terrific and I know you'll like them."

SWMBO - "Isn't he the guy in the orange G-string?"

Ka Honu -  "Uhhh, yeah."

SWMBO - "And you want to let his sausage in the house?  I don't think so, you pervert!"

Ka Honu to SWMBO -  "Yes, dear."
