You can get salami here, now and then. The Bent and Twisted Expats were not impressed. It wasn’t really salami. This is really salami. When I got to Samoa I wanted some salami. Sorry lad, you be SOL. Crickey. Had my dad dig up and send me a recipe. Read more He sent the spices along with the recipe, having a smart dad is cool. It was 1989 and the internet was still a gleam in J.C.R. Licklider’s eye. I’ve tweaked it over the years but it’s still, basically, the recipe my dad talked one of his dago friends out of. Thanks dad. Making sausage is easy: Pick the meat. Have the butcher trim and grind it to your needs. Take it home and add spices, etc. Blend. Let sit a while. Stuff or make rolls or patties and smoke, if necessary. Freeze or refrigerate, as needed.

- For stuffed Salami:
- • Get some Salami casings, locally or online.
- • Stuff the meat mix into the casings. Make links about 12 inches (30 cm.) long.
- • Refrigerate overnight.
- Not stuffed:
- 1. Shape into 2 or 3 rolls and wrap in foil. Refrigerate overnight.
- For both:
- 2. Prick bottoms of rolls with a fat needle and bake at 350 F. (175 C.) on rack over a pan to catch the grease for 1 1/2 hours.

- These will last a very long time in the fridge and maybe forever in the freezer.
- You can leave out the liquid smoke and smoke these for four or five hours. Really great.
