At first I went to one of our local chain grocery stores, and found out that the meat department has their sausage shipped in from a warehouse associated with the store. However, on their advice I went to a restaurant supply-type store who of course didnt have them either. They in turn recommended another restaurant store, but in the process of following up one last idea, I ended up going to my old standby Whole Foods Market. They, of course, were the ones who had what I needed. I managed to tentatively get enough of what I assume is natural salted pork casing for a few pounds of sausage cheap. Hopefully the approach I am taking will work. Originally this was going to be jam packed weekend and I was on the fence about this TD. but I may be able to do something. If not, I'll have at least tried.
