Are there edible vegetarian sausage casings?
Boca, Turtle Island, Lightlife, Yves, El Burrito and others all make great vegetarian sausages and hot dogs. Most of these seem to be cased with something, and are edible.
I've done countless searches on the internet and have only come up with this: edible cellulose casings, starch based casings, and an alginous coating, ala vegicase.
But what I can't find is where can I get some of these casings? I make veggie sausage at home and use plastic casings. You can't eat those, and you certainly can't grill them.
Answers:
For small batches I normally use bakers parchment paper. For large batches I use the company listed below

Can you believe it? There is actually an association for Sausage Casing makers!!
The first address is for the association, the second is for a supplier that sells to the public.
they are made out of gelitan (spelling?)
I would recommend them to vegetarians and omnivores alike.
