Hot Dogs
Jacob Springs Farm has been experimenting with making hotdogs as a way to use organ meats and blood that is in less demand from customers.
There seems to be some shame on the part of manufacturers in admitting that they are using these ingredients in hot dogs - however organ meats are wonderful, nutrient dense, tasty and underutilized (i.e. wasted) Companies should be as proud of using organ meats as they are of including recycled materials and having environmentally friendly products.
Little information seems to be available about how to include organ meats in a hot dog recipe

Preparing your own sausage casings
This is a messy, but satisfying job - however it is difficult to get consistent results comparable to professionally done casings.
The FAO has an excellent guide to preparing casings.
Buying sausage casings
Comparing suppliers and types of sausage casing
- Allied Kenco "we cater to the home butcher" - seems to be a good place to get smaller quantities and good information on sausage casings
- Butcher & Packer potentially the best prices on bulk purchase of items without having to make a phone call
- de Wied "making a 'strong case' for sausages" - have to call in
- Heinsohn's Country Store - good accessories
