Spam Sausage Links.

I got to wondering,Tried Mr Google and could not find any Sausage information using Spam.
I think I may know why, but more on that later.:tsk:
Grabbed some tins of Spam,
My plan was to use the meat as a sausage base.
Wife was a bit skeptical but, I forged ahead. Nothing Ventured Blah Blah.
When mixed it she said it smelt like Dog Food:icon_shy

The recipe in case you want to try it.

3.3/4 Lb of Spam.
1 level TBLS Slap Ya Mama Seasoning, white Blend.
1 level TBLS of powdered Garlic
9 jalapeno's
1/2 lb of Cheddar cheese.



Diced the peppers.
Mixed in the Spam,peppers and seasonings.

Stuffed our little new toy, does 2 lb of meat at a stuffing, Its simple and good

I guess whatever binder was in Spam had already been cooked out.

Love the taste but ,the texture is awful.
I will try again but I'm thinking some Milk powder may fix the texture.
Anyone have any thoughts?
 
I like spam, but..... You are gutsier than I am in this endeavor! Will give you an A for effort. Get it to stick together and you may have a winner. Like your little "device".

Hey, you'll never know unless you try.

Kudos for giving it a try, sorry it wasn't what you expected, but maybe next time. At least you can say you gave it a try.....

Bold move, Cotton!

Love the idea... sorry to hear that Round 1 didn't pan out so well...
 
Can't speak as to how it tastes, but it looks like food...

Nothing wrong with experimentation! That flavor profile does sound tasty.
 
Sounds good to me. Keep us posted on fixing the texture issue.
Where did you get the stuffer Its a great idea for the small batches.

If you get "real" andouille from LaPlace Louisiana, it is stuffed with a mixture of ground and cubed pork. In the end product, you have 1/2" (approximately 1-1.5 cm in Australian) cubes suspended in the meat batter.

Perhaps you could do the same: Use ground pork as your base and mix in cubes of Spam?

Just a thought.

Thats some smart thinking:clap2:
 
The cajun boudin sausage uses rice for texture. You might consider that as an option.
 
Spam is made from pork shoulder and processed and cured to have a (remote) resemblance to ham. The mush is because it has already been broken down from mechanical and chemical processing and cooking before you even started. Perhaps try making your own ham cured pork shoulder and grind it raw.
