The Gift Of Sausage Making For Father’s Day

Saturday, May 9th, 2009 by theidel

Now that you have taken care of Mother’s Day gifts, it’s time to start planning for Father’s Day.  Picking a gift for Mom is relatively easy.  You can choose flowers, jewelry and even go out for brunch and more times then not, she will be very happy.  Father’s Day get a bit tougher since many find themselves in the dilemma of “What do you get for Dad?”.  What do you get for the guy that has everything?  Give him the gift of Sausage Making.  The gift that keeps giving year after year.

The most memorable gifts I have received over the years are those that are different.  Those gifts that are interesting, fun and rewarding, but not necessarily expensive.  Therein lies the problem.  Home Food Gourmet has made that an easy decision.  If your father likes to grill, cook or create things with his hands, the gift of Sausage Making will be memorable and appreciated.  It can begin a hobby for your Dad or anyone that will give them years of enjoyment, satisfaction and cause amazement from family and friends.

Home Food Gourmet has created 3 sausage and jerky making kits for under $60 that give your loved ones everything they need to get started making multiple varieties of delicious sausage or jerky.  Whether they decide to use beef, pork, venison or other game meats, they will be able to create gastronomical works of art.  Every batch of sausage or jerky made has it’s own personality created by the sausage maker.

A sample of the sausage and jerky varieties included in the 3 Home Food Gourmet “Ultimate” kits are Sausage Sticks, Salami, Polish, Summer, Bologna, Pepperoni, Dry Cure Hard Salami, Cajun, Pepper, Teriyaki, Mesquite and Barbeque.  As someone gets hooked on the art of making sausage or jerky, they can begin to experiment with different seasoning blends, adding other ingredients such as cranberries, apples and more.

Is preserving your food necessary? For some it is.

Most of the posts on Home Food Gourmet are about the hobby of preserving food as in canning, dehydrating, fermenting, curing & smoking and freezing.  While for most of us preserving food is a hobby, for others it is an economical way to save money and have healthy food year round.  Some of us like gardening to get that sense of satisfaction of doing it yourself and getting good produce.  For others it is about putting food on the table.  The economy and environmental factors may cause some to switch from the hobby side to the putting food on the table side.

It’s not news to anyone that our economy has taken a nosedive into the curb.  For the over 90% that are still employed simple things like being able to put food on the table is not yet an issue. For many of the others that is not the case.  Having access to a garden can mean the difference of having vegetables for the kids or not.  Having a garden can generate a tremendous amount of fresh produce that can save money.  Money that can be used for other things such as meat, gas, clothes, medical expense and others.

It’s no surprise that internet searches for topics such as gardening, canning, preserving food, home food preservation, dehydrating and dehydrators is up 40% or more over last year at the same time.  Many people are looking at preserving food as a means of subsistence rather than a hobby. (more…)
