A little over a dozen members of the Estonian Society of Central Florida (Kesk Florida Eesti Selts) gathered together for our annual verivorst-making party at the home of Maare and Jaan Kuuskvere in Bradenton, Florida, on Saturday, December 13, 2014. Members brought their own “sisu” made from their own secret recipes while the intestines and blood were provided by our hosts. This year saw a mix of old and new technology when Triin and Edward Karr introduced Edward’s grandfather’s metal sausage maker. All of us remembered seeing that meat grinder/sausage maker in our homes when we were growing up; where are they now?! Though we know others stuff their sausages with the assistance of electric mixers, we’re still making hand-crafted sausages. Yum! Many thanks to the Kuuskveres for hosting us so generously in their home. Here’s to a delicious Christmas celebration for all!
