A method is provided for coating tubular food casings (2), especially intestines, with flavoring substances in particle form, especially spices, wherein the tubular casing (2) is wetted on the inside with adhesive (3) and the desired flavoring substances (6) are deposited on the formed adhesive layer. Here, it is essential that the casing (2), wetted on the inside with adhesive (3), is brought through a particle-shaped flavoring substance supply (6), formed in the interior of the tube, and a gas cushion (7), in particular an air cushion, into a non-flat, open cross-sectional shape. The casing wetted with adhesive on its inner side carries along flavoring substances from the flavoring substance supply (6), when it is pulled through the flavoring substance supply. The casing (2) at least on the inside is made from a hydrophilic plastic.
