Cool! My dad used to use one of those. I have the grinder attachment for my KitchenAid stnad mixer, but I don’t use it very often.

I’d be interested in knowing what mix you finally settle on.

BTW, didn’t you say you have a Syrian friend? Syrians make some awesome sausage with spices & pine nuts, so if you could get a good recipe I’d feel seriously indebted to you… ;)

So far, a mixture of brisket and chuck or brisket and sirloin or top sirloin and shoulder,

Seems to me if you add in short ribs, the mixtures really improve.

Also, I ran across these formulas, as yet untried )ask me again by the weekend):

1) Hanger steak, short rib, and brisket.

2) Two parts chuck, two parts boneless short rib, and one part brisket.

As for my Syrian friends, lamb is their real forte. Unbelievable recipes- and friends wife won’t give them up. Her excuse? ‘You won’t come visit any more’.

She knows better but she loves the drama- I ask every time I’m there!
