I called a couple butchers and asked about "food preservative that looks like salt". One told me he doesn't use it on meat he sells but i can find others who do. I found one who gave le the number of his supplier. I called the number and he hesitated to sell it to me asking if I have a butcher store. I said I want it to cure personal meat for personal use. He then said he doesn't have it. That he just has food conservatives?? So I forgot about it. And a few hours pass and he calls me saying he can send someone to bring it to me. He asked again why I need it. I said we have meat we want to cure at home. He laughed and said : so for personal use? I said yes. Then he said how much do you need? I said 100g. He laughed again and he said the kilo (kg) is 13 dollars. I said ok I will get a kg please. He said he will call me on monday to talk about place of delivery with his guy. Mind you, I don't know if it's sodium nitrite. So does this seem suspicious ti you? Should i get the delivery? Should i get it and test it? From where to get a test kit? Tell me your thoughts
