  1. Wish I could speak dutch! You can just imagine how the recipes will come out if I try to interrup them!

    Did you really eat in the dining room or was that staged?

    We have some fantastic meals at the oldjinks home in Houston with the help of his lady friend.

  3. Hi Jinks,

    I am an (not yet retired I hope) old Deventer Tropische Landbouwschool dutch guy living in South East Mexico not far from you (South of Cancun near Chetumal on the Belize border) I still work as an International Consultant on Agro-Forestry issues, have a farm here, sail a lot and.......... like to cook too! I enjoy your blog, go for it and have as much fun as you can bear ha ha ha.

    Boy I am jealous about your set-up, your equipment for making sausages and other dry meat recipes. I have Mennonite neighbours and friends here where we make smoke sausages the old way.....still very tasty of course.

    Give me a note (agrocons@msn.com) if you travel in our direction, maybe we can meet up somewhere.

    Cheers,
    Hans

  4. Hi Hans,

    Hope you find some stuff here you like to make yourself..
    the airdried meats and some sausage recipes from Lou Poli's site are fantastic.. (you can find the site on my links page..)
    To get going on airdried meats is pretty simple - I started with a College type fridge (with peltier element type cooling) which I picked up for ~ $80 and a good meat slicer - beyond that you just need patience...
    also an incubator to start the cultures in Fermented sausages is pretty easy to put together yourself from some Alu-clad plywood, a 100 W bulb and a linevoltage switching thermostat..

    anyway - if I ever get that far south I'll drop you a note.

    Thanks,

    oldjinks.

    1. Hi Henriette,

      Ik heb een kijkje genomen op je blog. Ik spreek helaas geen Portugees - Engels, Duits, Frans, Nederlands en "een poco" Espagnol is genoeg om in moeilijkheden te komen.. of eruit te blijven..

      Zo te zien aan je blog wordt daar veel japans gegeten - ik heb mezelf ook geleerd om Sushi en Sashimi hier te maken.

      Voor de rest ben ik niet picky wat eten aangaat - op mijn vele reizen heb ik altijd van alles - op zijn minst - geproefd en als ik het lekker vond vroeg ik de recepten of scharrelde ze ergens op om het later thuis ook zelf te maken.

      Go ahead en kijk hier af en toe maar rond - en probeer en proef af en toe maar eens wat !!
