I’ve had this a few times..very tasty..this is the cold summer version ..even better hot off the stove..
Can’t believe I didn’t get one response from the hamster helper..I thought it was funny as hell..I was laughing the whole time I was posting it..boy oh boy it’s a tough crowd here…
It can be....
Ever hear of a Chaffle?? It's kind of like a Waffle, except it's made with egg and cheese, so no carbs.
Well, I don't own a wafflemaker, but I do have a Panini Press, Good Enough!!
So, taking the Chaffle one step further, tonight I made a Salami Chaffle!!
Basic chaffle is: Break one egg into a measuring cup, beat it like it owes you money, then grate 59g of mozza and mix it in with the egg.
After pre-heating the Panini Press, cove about 80% of the lower surface with overlapping slices of salami
Add the egg/cheese mix onto the salami, but not all the way to the edges
Cover the who thing with another layer of salami
Close the press and let'er cook!!
In the end, you'll have something similar to this:
Chaffle Top view
Chaffle Bottom Surface (**The bottom gets cooked a bit more, as it's had a slightly longer cook time. mmmmm crispy!!)

BACON you say??
Well, tonight I took 1.052kg of ground moose, then ground 0.6kg of bacon on my hand grinder. Next I thoroughly mixed the two together. I was running late, so I quickly made two 6oz patties, and took them outside and threw them on the grille (which had been pre-heating whilst I mixed everything)
Anyways, they were yummy, but a bit crumbly
(Any hot tips on how to keep them together that don't involve crumbs or eggs?)
Sorry, big rush tonight, so no pics. But I will turn the big mixing bowl full of meat into patties tomorrow before supper time, and will try to get a couple pics then!
Alright, finally getting back to what I promised a few days back. Below are pics of the remainder of the moose/bacon patties I made the other day. I used my scale to weigh the mixture of ground moose & ground bacon, using a small plastic storage container. After it was weighed out, I would take the container, and pack the mixture into the container to get it all leveled out. Then, by turning it upside down, two to three smaks on the countertop would break the mixture loose. They were then placed on a platter (aka: the turntable from my last microwave with a layer of parchment. got 5 on the bottom layer, which only left the final two to go on top.
This yielded better results than my first attempt, but there was still some crumbling Today, I grilled the last three, and decided to spray the grill with cooking spray first so there was no sticking (which leads to breaking/crumbling to get them loose).
The results were better than the previous attempts, but still not flawless. So, despite my previous desire to avoid the use of egg as a binder, the next time I do this, that is exactly what I will do.
Anyways, there are pics of the patties, the container I shaped them in, the patties after they were grilled, and finally, the Burger press a friend 3D printed for me overnight from a free STL file I found on the internet
And for anyone looking for 3D print files, GOOGLE is your friend!!
There are any number of sites, the file that was used for the burger press below came from stlfinder.com

This is the file I emailed to Jarred, but the pic in the link doesn't look like what got printed?? I dunno?? but I'm over it already

cults3d supposedly has free files, but a very high percentage of the ones I opened then had a price? (most were pocket change, but that's not the point, if it say it's free, it ought to ACTUALLY be free!!)

Still needs a binder agent of sorts to stop the crumbling.

Well, a couple weeks back, NOFRILLS had Pork Loin on sale for $2.00/lb, so I bought one that was (IIRC) ~3.x kg. When I got it home, I promptly cut it up into Cutlets. Of course they're never uniform in shape or diameter, so I had some that were as small as 340g, and the largest was just over 500g.
Anyways, I defrosted one, and being as it was still 10 deg C outside, I fired up the BBQ and after it had been pre-heated and brushed down, I went to work! First thing I took the tongs and set the fatty side on the grill for several minutes, then seared bot top and bottom before grilling it properly.
So, this one was ~416g (just over 14.5 oz), and about 1.75" thick. The only seasoning was a liberal dosing of salt on all sides prior to bringing it outside to the grille.
Finished product below, and the fatty side was CRISPY, the rest was tender and juicy, and I'm no longer hungry!!
And in the new real Cdn Superstore Flyer (same parent Co as NoFrills), they have Pork loins on for $2.00/lb, may have to grab another and cut it up!!

No drooling face emoji here on the quick-like button…. But 
Ha! Went to RealCanadianSuperstore on Friday, and just like last time, the Pork loins they had on sale for $2.00/lb were HUGE!!
I'm talking almost 3 feet long!! (and these were shorter than the last time)
Started chatting with a lady who also thought they were way too big, and she mention that back on the farm, the only time you saw loins that size was from a really old sow!
Anyways, last time this happened, the following week NoFrills had them on for the same price but they were a much more reasonable size, so I guess I'll wait it out!!
