Träipen
Träipen, sometimes treipen, is the Luxembourg variant of black pudding. The sausages are traditionally prepared from hog's head (or offal and any other scraps of pork) and fat, blood, and (winter) vegetables (such as white cabbage and onions). Other ingredients include white bread and mostly regional spices, that always include savory, and a hint of caraway. There are many variants to local recipes for its preparation but basically the meat and fat are boiled with salt, then minced and mixed with the finely ground vegetables. Fresh blood is added together with breadcrumbs and spices, and the mixture is put into larger intestine casings. The sausages are then boiled for 15 minutes in a large saucepan until cooked (when punctured, only clear liquid should emerge). , ''RTL.lu''. Retrieved 1 December 2011.

Apple Sauce
Apple sauce is a purée (not necessarily served as a true sauce) made of apples. It can be made with peeled or unpeeled apples and can be spiced or sweetened. Apple sauce is inexpensive and is widely consumed in North America and some parts of Europe. A wide range of apple varieties are used to make apple sauce, depending on the preference for sweetness or tartness. Formerly, sour apples were usually used to make savory apple sauce. Commercial versions of apple sauce are readily available at supermarkets and other retail outlets. Preparation Apple sauce is made by cooking apples with water or apple cider (fresh apple juice). More acidic apples will render a finer purée; the highly acidic Bramley apple creates a very fine purée. The apples may or may not be peeled. If they are not peeled, the peels and seeds are typically separated in a food mill. Sugar and spices such as cinnamon, allspice, and even Red Hot candies may be added for flavor. Lemon juice, citric acid, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Casing (sausage)
Sausage casing, also known as sausage skin or simply casing, is the material that encloses the filling of a sausage. Natural casings are made from animal intestines or skin; artificial casings, introduced in the early 20th century, are made of collagen and cellulose. The material is then shaped via a continuous extrusion process—producing a single sausage casing of indefinite length—which is then cut into desired lengths, usually while the extrusion process continues. Natural casings Origin Natural sausage casings are made from the Submucosa, sub-mucosa of the small intestine of meat animals, a layer of the intestine that consists mainly of naturally occurring collagen. In Western European cuisine and Chinese cuisine, most casings come from pigs, but elsewhere the intestines of sheep, goats, cattle and sometimes horses are also used. To prepare the intestines as casings, they are flushed, scraped and cleaned with water and salt by hand or with machinery; today they are pri ...

Midnight Mass
In many Western Christian traditions, Midnight Mass is the first liturgy of Christmastide that is celebrated on the night of Christmas Eve, traditionally beginning at midnight when Christmas Eve gives way to Christmas Day.
