Tongmaster 🤮

[Nimrod1960]

Bought and used some of Tongmaster’s “Premium” Venison and Juniper seasoning.

Way too strong, very strange taste.

Eatable when sausages are cold but not great hot.

Anybody else had similar experience ?

Less is often more, especially with Juniper - a little goes a long way, for most.

Not a lover of juniper at all in anything way to strong for me

SWMBO just kicked off! I wind her up with the phrase “Eatable”

Absolutely this ^^^
Same with the Weschenfelder mixes. As a general rule I'd halve whatever quantity they're recommending.

Yes. Even halving (or less) the Tongmaster mix I found them a weird taste and never going to use them again.

Makes everything taste of gin…

 

[6mmarc]

Exactly

I have used some of their other mixes. Didn’t find them strong enough and of course they have preservative **** in them. I am just going to mix my own there aren’t many key ingredients if you take out the preservatives and stuff that has to be added to bread

We've found that with some of the mixes and then other ones have been lacking in flavour. Had some 'Chilli' burger mix and they didn't taste much more than a plain burger.
Starting to do our own mixes now.
100g Pinhead rusk & 30g of flavouring to each 1kg of meat.

I use a single mix but increase the rest to yield 10kg per mix. With lots of additional fresh herbs it makes a great sausages

Learnt years ago I’m not a fan of juniper with venison. It’s only good in gin !
