DIY Food @ May Meeting

I’ve signed up to do a DIY food demo @ the May meeting. I’m looking to see if there is enough interest from other people in using this food to make a large batch. The contents of recipe are listed below.

So here’s the deal … A gallon-sized zip-loc that’s about 1/4" thick. Cost to you - $10.

If I can get enough interest (about 20 bags …), I’ll have them premade for the May meeting, with a bit left over for the demo. If not, I’ll just be doing a very small batch for the demo.

Pretty long. We made some a year or so ago and we still have alot and it’s still good. A little of this goes a long way.

I want one as long as you promise to NOT label the bag. I always get a kick out of watching the wife open things up and smell them.

ahh seafood pâté

I will do a bag, any idea what you expect the final viscosity to be?

3

You guess the units …

In fact, if you figure out what the units are, drop me a PM so I know …

Hotdogs, the viscosity equal to that of 3 hot dogs.

Hi ho hi ho, its off to google we go

Am I correct in assuming you’re asking about viscosity with thoughts towards the slurry feeder you’re tinkering with?
