Yendan attack

We're pretty excited to be getting entries from all round Australia now. We thought the Capulet versus Montague of King Valley against Barossa might all get a little too much, but the WISS gear has been coming in from all over. Due to arrive shortly is the Yarran Wines submission all the way from Yenda in New South Wales. They breed their pigs as big as their vineyards down in the Riverina, so we're expecting some mighty entries from winemaker Sam Brewer and his pig mincing team.

Sam says his 'tribe of salami makers' comes from all over, with mates from Griffith to Sydney chipping in during the two day pig fiesta. Sam's butcher was met via a neighbour over the paddock fence - his name is Mumbly 'because that's what he does after a few ales', but Mumbly's butcher mate is 'just named plain old Hendo'. Just to get things straight... 

Meanwhile, we've heard of centaurs, but we're not sure what kind of animal this is... Looks tasty though. Seems to be smiling too. 


Riverina pigs walk themselves to their own slaughter 


Nothing like a friend and family get together over bits of dead animal. Brings out the best in all of us. 

Bits of pig, lots of bits of pig



After the pig is pulled apart into its various bits, it is reassembled into smaller, more interesting portions. Just like postmodernism. 


Tooheys Extra Dry powers the meat handling

Then, a magician ties the sausages. Why is it when you put your earphone cables into a bag they always come out in inexplicable knots? So too sausages it seems. 

Fella did good at scouts tying knots

Whoa! Look out Johnny Holmes! Packing some serious length and girth here. 

Intimidating...
We're looking forward to Yarran Wines entry...
