God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Unless there is within us, that which is above us, we will soon yield to what is around us.

INSTRUCTIONS
For the curious boervors (farmers sausage) is made up as a length and is
not twisted into segments. There are as many recipes for this stuff as
there are for chilli but some idea can be gained from this one.
Stuff casing to 1" to 1 1/2 thick.
Mainly beef and always includes fat, coriander and salt. Pork fat is often
substituted for sheep fat which is probably closer to how it originated.
The best is made from sheep tail fat. May include orange peel as well. A
nice course mince is very important and some recipes call for the meat and
fat to be cut into small cubes. Which obviously is very time consuming but
gives an idea of "course ground"
Cooking is somewhat of an art and under no circumstances must the sausage
case be pieced. It must cook in its own fat. Use tongs to turn. Low heat
over charcoal is best. A quick test of the right heat is the hand just can
be held for two seconds at cooking height repeated twice with a very short
break. No flames. High heat will burst the casing.
9kg of boervors on the wall, some got eaten and then there was.. friends
and fellow chileheads. Don't see this lasting long.
