We had a bunch of Guinea Hen Legs left over so it was decided to make mortadella. We recently used all of the bung casings for other various cured and cooked farces so made two large mortadella's with the hen skin being the casing but still had a lot of farce left over so, decided to bag it and poach it, I thought the shape looked like a purse which amused me. The other two mortadella that were wrapped in skin came out much better; the food saver doesn't quite have enough strength to remove all the small holes that can appear when making mortadella, hand rolling in plastic wrap or using the sausage stuffer is the way to go. Regardless, it's a funny looking piece of meat.
