One of the sausage recipes I was making called for Dextrose. Seemed like a simple thing.
Grocery store: nope! they didn't even know what it was
Small family grocery store that actually sells causings and lots of seasonings: yes/nope! they had a box of it but said they weren't licensed to sell it. Really?? I offer to buy a couple of steaks if they would throw in a small baggy in the bottom of the bag since I only need 2TB. nope! I was looking at the box but they wouldn't sell me any. how frustrating!!
Meat locker: nope! they said they buy all their spices premixed
finally gave up because it was time to head into work. at work we discussed it. One guy headed off and checked his computer. Apparently GNC health food folks like it and so do homebrew beer makers. I headed off to a large wine/beer store the next day.
Friar Tuck: YEP!! $2/lb they call it corn sugar instead of dextrose
oh, one of my searches was on here. I didn't find any info so I thought I would add this thread to help the next guy. maybe someday I'll even get my first "point". lol
happy smoking!
