Even if it doesn't, just lie and tell us how great it was. At this point we couldn't handle the disappointment. The whole forum would implode, creating a big black hole in the internet!!!
More like waiting for the wife to give birth..... Hey Al, can't we just induce labor?
It most be beer o'clock by now!
Yea keep it up. I know it's Johnny Walker time now!
This coming from a guy who in another thread said that pastrami is better than good sex!Hey Al,
Did not mean to step on your view.
Got so excited watching you, I couldn't contain myself.
Back to you sir!
Yes I soaked it for a couple of hours. When I fry tested it it turned pink. I wasn't going to eat any but had to see how it tasted & it tasted good.Have you soaked in fresh water yet?
I usually have a dark ring like this on some cured items, not usually that thick. if you followed the cure instructions / pound of meat and it was sub 40F you should be ok.
I'd do a fry test or soak / fry until the right taste.
