I live in Australia (Brisbane - a capital city) and absolutely nowhere that I've been to (delis, butchers, supermarkets) have ever heard of pink curing salt or know what the gently caress I'm talking about. Does anyone know of somewhere that I am able to order this stuff online and have it shipped to Australia?

Also, "Kosher salt" - is that just a variation of sea salt / rock salt (IE: Maldon salt flakes etc?), or is it something else again?

Wait, so given that Nitrate is linked to some types of cancer, why would anyone bother using it if it literally just preserves colour? That seems like a stupid risk to take?
