Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought three brands of hog casings; Oversea was the best, Hi-Country the worst, and Home Pack/DeWied in-between. The Hi-Country casings are completely packed in salt and dehydrated, needing a lot of soaking to get them ready to use. Because the contents are one-stiff block, you have to use them all at once. Finally, they are so rank that there is a notice on the package that the stench is normal. Someone once told me: “Only ever eat chitlins made by a woman who loves you”. Now it is clear why. The Home Pack brand is okay, although they do tend to get tangled up a lot. In contrast, the Oversea casings are cut into similar lengths and threaded through a plastic ring. This makes them easier to lay out and separate, with hardly any tangling. In addition, they seemed to be much more pliable than the others with very few bad spots. This is the brand I will use from now on.
