I could easily find sodium nitrate, sodium nitrite and potassium nitrate in any general store of the period. Pink salt is not the iron rich salt from the Himalayas but the curing salts which are dyed pink to distinguish them from common table and kosher salts. Mixing these salts up would be very bad indeed.It would be easier to find them in the past when more people used them.
Powdered eggs yeah you're right I'd have to venture to a camp supply store or make them myself as a general store won't do until the 1930's.
I'm shit out of luck on avocados though as the current breed we eat wasn't around until the 1950's when that postman got ripped off.
I was hoping for a single time travel trip as its a hassle.
good luck trying to find avocados, pink salt, and powdered eggs in the same 19th century store.
