On Saturday, December 7, 2013, a small group from the membership of the Estonian Society of Central Florida (Kesk Florida Eesti Selts) gathered once again to make traditional Estonian verivorst at the home of Leena and Väino Aare in Bradenton, Florida. Five pairs of sausage-makers took turns in the kitchen, stuffing casings with fillings individually prepared according to secret recipes. Allspice? sage? marjoram? ham? bacon? fresh ham? salt pork? Yum! Bring on the traditional Estonian Christmas feast! Our labors concluded with our annual celebration of Väino Aare’s birthday, 91 years young this year. The birthday kringel was scrumptious! How many Estonians in the United States had a day like the day we had today to make verivorstid: 83 degrees and a clear blue sunny sky?!
