A few months back I happily supported Steven Furgiuele through his ATB’s BoostR campaign to raise $20,000 to help buy a walk-in curing fridge to help expand his business – Fuge Fine Meat Inc. – and become a local salumiere and sausage maker.
Steve met his goal, so now I’m patiently waiting for a backpack full of meat to cure, which I will receive later this year as part of my financial support of his campaign. In the meantime, I still want to support Steve, and of course, be able to enjoy some of his ready made product. When I saw that he was going to be back at the 124 Grand Market this week, I made a special trip to pick up some sausage.
To make his fresh sausages, Steve sources his Alberta Pork from The Meat Shop at Pine Haven Colony. Here are the five sausage flavours you can pick up at the market:
In addition to the 124 Grand Market on Thursday nights and the French Quarter Farmer’s Market on Sundays, you can also find Fuge Fine Meat sausages at Otto Food & Drink, The Sugar Bowl Cafe, Culina & Dogwood Cafe, Chartier, Tienda Latina, Park Distillery Restaurant & Bar in Banff, and Bonjour Bakery.
I cooked up some of Steve’s Italian Fennel sausages for breakfast on Saturday morning, which I oven roasted along with some duck fat fried potatoes and onions; I really am just a meat and potatoes kind of girl. Connect with and follow Fuge Fine Meat Inc. at:
