What does Willies taste like?

[salmonmaster]

Just wondering what the Willies snack stick seasoning taste like. Is it a pepperoni tasting seasoning? My buddies like the pepperoni tasting sticks, so that’s what I’m looking for.

It’s all I use. Has a good pepperoni flavor and a nice heat level. Try a small test batch and then you can extra spices or pepper to fit your liking.

It’s a good seasoning and a popular one. I added some crushed red pepper the last time for a little extra kick.

[salmonmaster]

dawg thanks!

[salmonmaster]

mdseaside thanks! Just looking for something a little better than the hi cou***y brand we use now. Maybe make some salmon sticks with it. I lived in seaside for awhile.

salmonmaster kinda pepperoni I guess, with a good kick. I pretty much use Willie’s exclusively for snacksticks now, it is good. I’ve rolled my own pepperoni and a few others. But for venison and beef, Willies is a great flavor.

salmonmaster Willie's Snack Stick Seasoning is the best selling snack stick seasoning we have. It’s not the one that I get the most pumped up to make or eat but it IS the one I want to eat the most…if that makes any sense? There is somewhat of a pepperoni flavor but a little more pepper than you would expect from a pepperoni.

Also, consider the Willie's Snack Stick Seasoning-MSG with MSG…I really think it has a little more flavor as long as you aren’t sensitive to MSG. The downside to that one is that it only is available in seasoning that is enough to do 100 lb of meat

Dave in AZ thanks for the feed back!

salmonmaster Willies tastes moreish. Meaning…you eat one you want more. My Grandpa used to say beer was moreish…lol!

[salmonmaster]

Jonathon No, that doesn’t make any sence. But half the stuff I say doesn’t make any sence either. So I guess, what you said does make sence to me, if that makes any sence so what about the pepperoni seasoning from Waltons, does it have a good pepperoni flavor, and would it make a good snack stick without the heat?

[Jonathon]

salmonmaster I have made the pepperoni into snack sticks once or twice. It works way better with beef for some reason. If using pork/deer then its not close, prefer Willies every time!

[salmonmaster]

ND Mike perfect, I like moreish

Jonathon rodger that

Was thinking about splitting my 20#s of deer and pork up using pepperoni excalibur unit ,wondering if it would have any flavor like 30mm smoked tubes I was going to make.
Has anyone made them that way.
Thanks

[Jonathon]

tarp Using a different protein is going to change the flavor for sure. Using deer with pork fat (in my mind) is the best way to get the venison taste with good fat content. If you add the lean muscle from pork as well then that has a tendency to come through more than the deer and it tastes like a pork stick with something else in it.

That’s what was bothering me about doing that. And yes it is pork fat. Thanks for the reply. Well back to plan A. Lots pepperoni which everyone around here like.

Jonathon If using Willie’s Snack Stick Seasoning with out MSG, wow much msg would you add to “X” pounds of meat to achieve the same flavor boost of “Willie’s” that had msg in the seasoning mix?
