FORMULA.

120 pounds extra lean selected pork trimmings, pork blade meat being preferred, trimmed free from sinews,
20 pounds extra lean beef chucks, trimmed free from sinews,
10 pounds shoulder fat,
5 pounds salt,
2¹⁄₂ounces white pepper,
1 ounce whole pepper,
1¹⁄₂ounces saltpetre.

It is necessary to use an additional wet seasoning for this sausage; at least six blocks should be chopped so as to mix properly and the seasoning must be added immediately after chopping. For six blocks Lyon sausage use the same formula for wet seasoning as for Milanese salami, and prepare in the same way. Grind the beef through a ⁷⁄₆₄th-inch plate and chop first on the block with the dry seasoning for seven to ten minutes when pork trimmings are added and the whole chopped thirty to thirty-five minutes. This is a very fine chopped sausage. After the beef and pork have been rocked the wet seasoning and shoulder fat, which has been previously cut into the shape of small dice, are mixed with it thoroughly by hand.

The meat is then taken to a cooler for the same period as D’Arles or Milanese salami, when it is stuffed by a hand stuffer into No. 1 hog bungs free from fat, and hung in a dry room where the temperature is about 50° F., and where it can be kept entirely separate from other sausage, with plenty of air and no draft. After it has hung for thirty-six to forty-eight hours and the casings are moderately dry, wrap the sausage with No. 4 flax twine, both lengthwise and around so as to form a mesh about ¹⁄₂-inch square. It is handled the same as D’Arles or Milanese salami.
