Frankfurt Style.

—This popular sausage is made from a variety of formulas. Perhaps there is no one piece of sausage as susceptible of being made so excellent or so tasteless, it being entirely a matter of what it is made from. The better grades are made from freshly killed bull beef, hashed warm. The process consists in boning bull beef and opening the meats along the seams, so to speak, skinning each bundle of muscle to remove the wrapping and cutting out all ligaments. Fresh pork, preferably, shoulder meat is treated in the same manner. The meats are then passed through a ⁷⁄₆₄ “Enterprise” plate, and passed to a silent cutter. Here cracked ice is added in quantity and the meats cut until they are a light fluffy pulp. The spices are added during the last five minutes of cutting, and the whole mass transferred to a shelving room for twenty-four hours, when it is ready to stuff, smoke, cook, cool and sell. Wide sheep casings are used for stuffing. Make the links uniform. The proportions of meat used should be as follows:

60pounds bull beef,
40pounds pork shoulder (fat),
35pounds ice,
10pounds corn flour,
4pounds salt,
12ounces pepper,
3ounces saltpetre,
3ounces mace,
6ounces sugar.
