If you're in the US, you can purchase casings and a lot of other neat stuff at: www.sausagemaker.com Dave Anderson TLCC http://www.tough-love.com It shouldn't be that hard to get casings if you have any supermarkets that make their own sausage, even if they don't have them out or have a meat counter. Just ring the buzzer or ask the manager. Odds are they'll be happy to sell you casings. It's always worked for me. David Cook <nofill>
