That's a bit further 'down under' than us :))
I don't need carp and I'll be eating any pigeons I manage 'aux petit pois' with big fat chunks of Kaiserfleisch, thank you.
Have you ever tried Hungarian Fisherman's stew.
I used to go to goulash comps and sample everything in sight! Can be fantastic with Lángos and copious amounts of beer.
I'd recommend a small carp out of very clean water. Bleed it well and cut off all skin before cooking.
You seem to have a thing for caraway, I usually put a bit in mine.
We tried cooking carp one time. Took a fillet off one about 3 or 4 kilo and then tried to bone it. I've never seen a fish with that many bones. My mate knows his way around a fish, as i do i, but we ended up with three bits the size of a fish finger and they were still full of bones. One bite he took and spat it out was enough to convince me.
He's a real garbage guts and ate an esky full of Long Toms once, so if it comes from the water and he won't eat it, i wasn't tasting it either.
You'll never get the bones out. They're not like a normal fish, they actually 'branch' out through the flesh.
My next challenge in catching one one fly.
I'm thinking about a cold pellet / chip smoker to hook up to the 6 burner bbq. Want to do ribs, chook, wings, pulled pork, ham, bacon, cheese etc.
Anyone recommend needed gear eg syringe, temp probes etc? I am also wondering if anyone has recommendations for a unit eg smokai or have plans to build one?
SD smoke generator? B-)
I started building one a few years ago with an old aquarium pump I had lying around but never finished it.
Keen to hear any advice too.
I've also got a half read copy of this too, these guys are good for reference stuff. I have a few of their books.
Someday I will get around to piping the top center outlet to a cold chamber... did some pork butts last weekend with 4-roses oak barrel head chunks... oaky, oaky, oaky....
Yes, i also have a 5 shelf one but i built it myself. It has control of the temperature in the smoke box via a hotplate with dial, control of the temp in the remote hotplate for generating the smoke and control of the fan in the smoke box via a switch. This one is V3
The fan was in the floor originally, it's now in the middle back of the smoke box and is a stronger exhaust fan. I only use this for jerky when i make it.
There is a switch for the fan installed since the construction
Fire box is in the bottom section.
It'll cold smoke at about 15C above ambient, i don't do much true cold smoking although i cold smoked some salami a couple weeks ago before putting it up for air drying, i mostly use it for hams, bacon, smoked chicken, sausage and jerky. All those things except the jerky are brought up to 69C internal or greater over a day or more.
Satay chicken skewers marinating now for the bbq tonight. The'll be combined with the evil hot peanut sauce i just made with 3 types of chilli including Naga Dorset.
I'll be eating the sauce alone, just haven't broke the news yet.
Used the Chinese BBQ Pork (Char Sui) recipe to marinade a split short beaked pelican for 24 hours and then pumped the marinade in an hour before sitting it in the oven.
Came up really nice and enough leftovers to do Spring Rolls for dinner tonight.
Chopped in the real chinese style to make sure that every bite had at least one bone in it =))
Egg battered spring rolls made with left overs. Leftover jasmine rice fried in chilli oil with strips of chinese style egg and crispy bacon and peas.
Then added to parboiled carrot and celery, some fresh cabbage and left over chinese chicken with some herbs from the garden and some sauce.
Pan seared scallops, black bean and black pepper sauce with chilli oil, jasmine boiled rice with star anise and ginger. All home made. I'll try to get a pic if i remember.
Bourbon Girl doesn't like most seafood so is having processed deep fried Sweet Chilli Chicken tender strips in a wrap :))
On the flipside a mate is due shortly with the 100kg dressed Large Black pig we killed and skinned on Tuesday. We'll be cutting it up and going halves today. The whole thing will go to chacuterie and sausage/salami. I'm really looking forward to trying air dried heritage free range pork versus the commercial stuff i've been using.
Sure, I'll send them through later this morning.
There's a butcher supplies Adelaide called mblsa.
You should get some SPX starter from them, it'll make all the difference.

I'll swap ya some carp for the rabbits or some pidgeons if you like :ar!

My Mouth is Watering looks Good !!
Allgäuer Käsespätzle
Looks like comfort food. Will you explain please.

Spätzle are traditional swabian noodles made from scratch.
Then layered with Emmentaler cheese in a casserole and topped off with breadcrumbs into the oven. Final touch is to cover it with caramelized onions.
In essence is my grams version of mac and cheese...

Uuni 2 - Wood-Fired Oven for Pizza and Beyond
2 min wood fired pizzas in a tabletop oven that takes ten minutes to heat up?
Sounds pretty good.

Looks interesting....
I already have a set-up for my grill, otherwise I would look into

Where do you find the time? Only 24 hours in a day @Punkin. You only get about 3 hours of sleep don't you
Yeah, on the lounge for 3 hours before bed :))
If i couldn't find time to whip up a sauce and boil some rice in the rice cooker there'd be something wrong.

Some things are worth putting the time aside for.

I've got some pretty good salami recipes if you want try them.
Have you got any starter?
I haven't used starter up to this point. I have a few recipes but would love to look yours over if you could email them.

For those of us who don't make sausage, what is a starter?
