marcus Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I have found the recipes, ordered a meat grinder, so I'm almost ready to make my home made Franfurters and Salamis. Just one thing is missing : I have no idea where to buy the casings. Anyone has a suggestion ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Not sure about what you use for franks and salami but we use fresh pig small intestine for UK style bangers, comes from Tesco or your local butcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeInSurin Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Macro also has casings. It looks like intestine to me. It was frozen in the frozen meat section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will check it out this evening ! Think I found them, and it look indeed like intestines I'm afraid that they are useless for sausages. What I heard is that you have to clean them carefully just after the animal died, and take away all the fat around them - a quite dirty job. The result would look completely different as the intestines you buy for Thai food. In Western countries you can just order them online. What I really hope to find are the collagen ones, just as on this site . Of course I can ship them from the UK, but it would be much easier if I can buy them over here.

appleman Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 We make sausages, and casings, which are typically intestines just about anywhere in the world, are difficut to buy because all the real sausage makers in the markets buy them up first. Makro sells them but we only saw them in 5+ kilo bags, probably for sale to those real sausage makers. That's a lot of sausages. But they were frozen so you could keep them for a long while. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanaFoods Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I have used casing from Tesco and with a little cleaning and trimming they work just fine. I have made my own salami as well using collagen casings bought in Thailand.... I ordered them via snail mail. I have also been able to obtain salted sheep casings in Thailand for use in making breakfast links as well as salami meat sticks (SlimJim type snacks). They worked great.

Good luck. I found them ! Here they sell in bags of 1 kg, still enough to make enough sausages to feed the whole village, but better as 5 kg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean by "bought collagen casings in Thailand by snail mail " ? You found a supplier in Thailand or just let them ship from overseas ?

NanaFoods Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 What do you mean by "bought collagen casings in Thailand by snail mail " ? You found a supplier in Thailand or just let them ship from overseas ? They were shipped from within Thailand. I cant remember if it was the same company as above, but they sent my wife a whole pack of free samples.... However, my fuzzy memory recalls the origin may have been either Europe or China (no lead, I'm sure). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipperx Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I am also looking for collagen casings or cleaned natural casings but having trawled through the internet can't find a supplier here in Thailand. Can anyone help with a contact number. Globo foods were helpful on the cure and seasons though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowgard Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) In makro you can buy 900g inestine pack for 315,- baht. Look in the long frozen meat boxes. They allready cleaned and salted. Before you use it you must put it arround 1-2 hours in water before use clean it inside under running water.
