Experimental salchichas at Bordaila

Encarni told me that this was the first time they had tried to make sausages. 'It's an experiment' she said. Our neighbours bought 15 kilos of leg of pork which the men minced up by hand. Fortunately they had a house full of friends to help.

The women were in charge of the mixing. In go minced garlic, minced red peppers and a variety of other spices - my spanish isn't good enough to catch what they all were.

Then, mix well. Take a little, fry and taste. Lubricate the whole proceedings with a little homemade vino dulce.

We missed the next bit as we had to leave for Salobrena but it was going to be filling the intestines.
