Post a CommentOh my! I've never known anyone who made their own salami. It was popular with my family, but grandma got it from the butcher shop! I haven't had some in a long time.
Roni, deer meat is a great idea. Lean pork would be good too.
Wow... I need to try this with deer meat.
I might have to try this. Thanks!
