I followed the last thread and I am really keen on making my own pancetta. However I live in the UK and can't seem to find curing salt anywhere. I asked a couple of butchers and they don't sell it. Googling "pink salt" just brings up a load of Jamie Oliver recommended himalayan posh salt. Am I right in thinking what I actually want is sodium nitrate? Information I have found indicates there is more than one type of "curing salt." Can any UK goons help point me in the right direction?

Thanks so much! I didn't want to just get something when I wasn't sure exactly what I was looking for. I had visions of us ending up in ER from eating poorly cured bacon.

I have only just started smoking stuff since I found out in the other thread that I don't need to buy anything fancy and I can just use my bbq. I bought a big bag of Jack Daniels barrel chips from Waitrose and some hickory and apple chips from Lakeland. I am considering placing an order with these people when I run out as they have more variety and are cheaper than Lakeland. But I haven't ordered from them yet so I can't vouch for their customer service etc.
