More cold smoking

White lump in top right = Borgonzola, a blue Brie from Aldi.

Lurking in the cherry wood smoke was what started as 2lb salmon. After an overnight dry brine it went from around 910g to 671g, a roughly 24% weight loss. I'll post back here once it's all smoked with any further weight loss.

Looking good! That borgonzola from aldi is some good stuff. I did a borgonzola and pear stuffed pork chop not too long ago.

I don't do mouldy food.

I eat the heck out of that Borgonzola.

And I never thought of using it to stuff a pork chop, so that's a new option ;)

Here is how I did mine. A little bacon would have been nice with it. I bet it would be good with that hunk you have smoking.

BORGONZOLA STUFFED CHOPS W/CARAMELIZED ONION AND PEAR

Last night I decided to try something a little different. I picked up some borgonzola cheese from Aldi a couple weeks ago and put it to use. If you have never had borgonzola before it has a creamy texture and earthy rind kind of like a brie or camembert cheese and a hint of blue cheese flavor...

after around 10 hours cold smoking, down to 571g, a 37% weight loss. If I smoked it for the full 12 hours Raichlen suggests it may be down 40%+, but Imma hit my bed cos I'm knackered and have enjoyed a decent amount of beer and Spanish brandy tonight

end result with the salmon - salmon kippers. Too smoky, too salty.

But this made Mrs happy, because I am now making kedgeree, and kippers are stupid difficult and expensive to find. Happy wife, happy life
