This is exactly that I'm on about BP.
Knowing the names of the processes is great, and knowing they're available is also a great thing, but unless the skills are practiced they are just pretty words.
I've heard of drying, curing, smoking, salting, pickling, and many others. Truth is, I've not done any of them. Preserving meat isn't my thing, but I see the benefits it has.
WTF?!??!? YOU'VE NOT LEARNED TO PRESERVE MEAT!?!?!?!?!?
No, I've not. Why not...? Because I'm learning to butcher a deer, rabbit, and even rats. What I'm trying to do is learn the full process, one step as a time. I'd rather master butchering, and thus know I can get pure clean meat, than learn to preserve and know I can't make sure the meat is pure and clean enough to eat. Make sense?
I guess this is the reason for the forum....to share our knowledge.
