Casings, Natural

Just out of curiosity, I've seen some sausage making recipes that speak of stuffing beef stomachs or bladders, and I don't believe I've ever seen such casings offered to sausage makers. Are they available?

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....

Chaudin is commonly available in south Louisiana sausage shops and meat markets. It's a pork stomach stuffed with a sausage mixture, sort of like the south Louisiana version of haggis. It's also called ponce, depending on where you are, and some people call it hog maw, although either ponce and chaudin are the more common names in Louisiana.

It's good stuff(ed). I plan to make one for Christmas dinner this year. I've eaten it, but never made one, so I expect it will be fun.

I bought some fresh pork stomachs once from a local Asian meat counter, and they were so stinky I threw them out. They were probably not very fresh, like you would get from a slaughterhouse. When I saved some from my own pigs and cleaned them well, there was no foul odor at all. I ground them up and put them in liver sausage, though. Didn't stuff them. Maybe next time.
