I got  home yesterday and saw that while I was at work, the Beautiful Mrs. Tas had actually read my shopping list this time, and got some hog casings for me at the local grocery in havre, which is 25 miles from home. I left a note on the list advising her to talk to the meat department guy if she had any troubles, and it looks like they got it figured out.

Here's what she got (she got one package, not 2):


It's an 8-ounce package, and looks to be enough to last me for a while, since my batches are probably going to averagre 5 to 6 pounds each.
 
Thankful for having a wife who is supportive of my endeavours, and looking forward to trying these!

Atta boy Ron....you know how to turn em inside out if there's a lot of those little hair like thingies on em?

It's really pretty easy....the water turns them inside out for you.
Go ahead...play with your food!

Hi, Dave - I did see that method, and will definitely try it for some projects.
 
On the other hand, I kind of like the "natural" and unique look that gut casings can put on a sausage, making it a truly individual piece of work.
 
It will depend on the projects, I guess - and how "rustic" I will want each one to be! Thumbs Up
