I'd like any recipes I can get for pickling ukranian (sp?) sausages,
preferably with a relatively spicey taste.  Any tips to insure that
everything goes well would also be appreciated.
Say, since I'm at it, any tips on pickled eggs would also be appreciated- as
you might gather, I'm on a bit of a pickling kick.
One last question- once sealed in canning jars, how long are pickled sausages
or eggs expected to last??

  How about this one....
 Are they (truffles) really that exquisite, or is it more of the
 mystic and the expense of finding them that creates the price.  I
 think I'll stick to the more common fungus.  Although, an
 occasional morel would fill my needs.
I turned on the checker in my meal master to import them.  TOOK
HOURS.  I finally gave up, turned off the dup check and they ran in
like water under a bridge.
3500 mains.  Do you realize that if you fixed one a day it would
take almost 10 years to get them all tried  :)~

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.04
      Title: Tarte Aux Champignons Des Bois
 Categories: Starters, Pastries, Vegetables, French
      Yield: 8 servings
    350 g  Shortcrust pastry
    500 g  Horn of Plenty/Chanterelles
     20 ml Oil  OR
     20 g  Butter
      1    Finely chopped onion
      1    Crushed garlic clove
           Chopped parsley (lots)
           Salt & pepper
    150 ml Creme fraiche
     35 g  Grated gruyere
           Oil
  Clean the mushrooms carefully. Cut the largest in four, leave the
  little ones and cut the rest in two. If you're using chanterelles and
  the stalks are very long, you can cut them into bits first.
  Put a little oil into a frying pan, heat gently and add the mushrooms
  so that they can release their liquid. Remove and reserve. (You can,
  if you like, reduce this liquid almost to nothing before adding oil
  or butter in the next stage). Add the oil or butter and heat on a
  moderate flame. Add the onion, the garlic and the parsley, cover and
  sweat without taking colour, till they are tender, stirring from time
  to time. Add the mushrooms and continue to cook for more or less 5
  minutes more till the liquid has gone. Cool, and chill in the fridge
  till needed. Roll out the pastry and line an 8" tart ring with it.
  Put it in the fridge 20 mins or so to relax. *you can cook ahead to
  this point.*
  Preheat the oven to 220C (450F). Spread the mushroom mixture on the
  raw pastry and pour the cream over it. Sprinkle with the grated
  cheese and put it in the oven. After a few minutes reduce to 200C
  (400F). Total cooking time is around 20-25 minutes. Serve hot, warm
  or cold.

Hi folks; I discovered a way of making no egg eggnog by accident.  First
I made a cooked eggnog and realized this was very close in consistency to
the custard I make with custard powder.  So I made a batch with the custard
powder (Harry Hornes) Probably any make would do.  Then I add rum flavouring
to taste and nutmeg.  Here's the recipe for any others who like to indulge

___--  ------------     --------------------------------------------------
    1  head             iceberg lettuce, cut into 1-1/2 in cubes
    4  extra-large      eggs, hard-boiled and cut into 1/8-in slices
  3/4  cup              boiler onions or small onions, thinly sliced
  1/2  cup              salad or pimento-stuffed olives, sliced
  3/4  cup              mayonnaise
  1/4  cup              bottled French dressing
  In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, half of the eggs, half of the
onions and half of the olives.  Toss lightly.  Garnish with remaining
eggs, onions, and olives.  Cover and chill.
  In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and dressing until well blended.
Drizzle the mixture over the salad.
Makes 6 servings.
TIP:  In a saucepan, place the eggs in a single layer.  Add cold water to
        cover by at least 1-inch.
      Cover the saucepan and bring to a boil.
      Remove from the heat.  Let stand, covered, for about 18 minutes for
        extra-large eggs, 3 minutes less for each size smaller.
      Immediately run cold water over the eggs or place ice water until
        cold.
      To remove the shells, crackle by gently tapping the egg all over.
        Roll between your hands to loosen the shell, then peel starting
        at the large end.  Hold under cold running water to ease off the
        shell.

TIPS:  Buy greens that are crisp and free of bruises and blemishes.
       Wash the greens gently under cool running water to remove any sand
