If I brought my sausage maker to Cyprus, would I be able to get the skins out there?

lots of the local butchers make Cypriot style sausages, so the answer must be yes

The butchers are very reluctant to part with the tharms (intestines), or the veiling used to make the seftali, local sausage.

If you buy your meat from the same butcher you will have a rapor with him, there should be no problem buying any part of an animal. Especially in the villages. We are a friendly bunch after all.

Please don't compare Sheftali with a sausage, there is no comparison.

Back in the UK collogen skins (synthetic) are widely available and easy to use.

The ones made from intestines are better to eat but require loads of salting and soaking.

I agree Yfred Sheftali and bought shop sausage - no comparison.

But if you know how to make them just as you like them, they are something else, and the general term ' sausage ' is not be-fitting.

Hope some one can help me out with the collogen ones. Or sounds like I might be smiling sweetly at a local butcher!!!

Thanks for all your replies.

I get mine sent out from UK - WESCHENFELDER also supply black pudding mix/dried blood/haggis mix etc - just look on the web.

A packet of casings comes in a small jiffy bag which pass through the postal system OK.

Chap to talk to is Tim who is used to supplying Expats around the globe.

Thanks for that Bufferington. I had a feeling that would be the case.

Veiling or caul is often available from the freezer section in the supermarket. It definitely is across the border in Orphanides and is about €1.40 for a pack which can be re-frozen. It is not sausage skin however as suggested but the type of wrap around sieftalia or faggots.
