Packing-houses
_Tongue Sausage._--For Tongue Sausage the following formula is given:
50 pounds hog or sheep tongue,
130 pounds shoulder fat,
34 pounds hog skins,
30 pounds blood,
8 pounds salt,
1 pound, 4 ounces white pepper,
2 pounds onions,
10 ounces marjoram,
4 ounces cloves.
Use pickled shoulder fat, skin and cook for one hour at a temperature
of 210° F. and run through fat cutting machine or cut into size of
small dice. Use beef blood, passed through a fine sieve in order to
separate any foreign material. Cook hog skins for about two hours at a
temperature of 210° F. and grind through a ⁷⁄₆₄th inch plate. Pickled
sheep tongues are preferable to pickled hog tongues, as they are
smaller and make a better appearing sausage when cut. The tongue should
be cooked one and three-quarter hours at a temperature of 210° F.
Before mixing the above ingredients, rinse the fat off the tongues
with hot water in order to remove as much grease as possible. Mix
the ingredients thoroughly with the seasoning by hand. When stuffing
put about four pieces of tongue to each bung. However, this varies
according to the size of the bungs used. Cap end bungs should be used
in all cases. Smoking and cooking to be done as indicated in schedule.
_Minced Ham._--The following formula for Minced Ham is given:
50 pounds beef trimmings,
20 pounds pork cheek meat,
80 pounds regular pork trimmings,
5 pounds corn flour,
20 pounds water,
5 pounds salt,
8 ounces sugar,
3¹⁄₂ ounces white pepper,
3¹⁄₂ ounces saltpetre.
Grind meats through a ⁷⁄₆₄th plate; pass to “Silent Cutter,” add water
and spices; chop three minutes and shelve for curing. Stuff in calf
bladders if available, otherwise small beef bladders.
In tying the bladders, it is best to use a wooden skewer and twine and
it is preferable to use small calf bladders in place of large ones,
as the time required for smoking and cooling is so long that if large
bladders are used the weight of them would break the bladders where
they are skewered or tied and would result in shrinkage or loss.
_New England or Pressed Ham._--This ham is made from dry cured pork
trimmings put down under the formula given. The best and leanest
trimmings obtainable are cured for this purpose. Shoulder blade
trimmings or lean shoulder trimmings are more desirable than any other
kind.
