I buy pork stomachs (for HogMaw and the like) and pork and beef bladders (for culatello and the like) from a local slaughter house.

Butcher and Packer sells dried bladders....

A powerful food processor does an okay job of emulsifying meat batters from pre-ground meat, but it's not a good replacement for a grinder.

re: nitrite/nitrite free nonsense. Just to clarify...

How are you defining "cure?" The folks at the SausageMaker sum it up best...
