So I finally get the smell out of my nostrils from my idiotic move of trying to sear some food that was to cold for Missy, forgetting I had smthered it with omega 3 oil :yuck: . Then I decide to try some of this dogfood mix I get from up the road, it's basically the stuff thats to small to sell, unable to sell, won't sell. They have decided it's easier to make dog food than sausages as it sells easier and they get as much back. I defrosted one of the kilo blocks and stood over it to spoon into the bowls. The smell assaulted me the same time I remembered the full ingredients, TRIPE, lungs, trachea, off cuts of meat, kidney, heart.
So I now know what tripe smells of :sick: , added to that the look of this stuff. I was quite happy handling it when it was frozen in blocks and looked like a sand picture with the layers of color, but once the stuff defrosted, with lumps of white stuff, honeycombed brown stinky bits, and other stuff I couldn't identify, I was less keen on touching it.
The dogs, well needless to say they went mad for it, Riley is not allowed in the kitchen when we prepair food, but on smelling this stuff he went and sat at his mat and refused to leave, he almost growled at me when I escorted him out of the kitchen, only to turn around and go back and try and hide in the corner waiting for this new food :laughing: . Missy usually waits for Riley to finish before she comes to eat her food but even she decided to wonder in to get her food early.
Bowls were polished like they were not meant to have eaten from them and each revisited them to see if the mystery product reappeared.
While I was at the butchers I took my neighbour, on hearing the ingredients he mentioned he had to pay for them to dispose of those products when he gets his animals slaughtered, and could I have them. I don't know how much there would be from a calf but he seems to think about 150 lbs at least :eek: I guess that means 2 freezers.
His meat is all organic (goes as far as his own crops top feed livestock (they love pumpkins) so if the number is correct I'll be distributing this stuff as he has 4-6 calfs a year butchered, I need to sort out a list of what I want from this waste stuff. I'm guessing the whole digestive system, Lungs and trachea. Anything else I should put on my list?, I will see about the neck bone but I have little use for that :confused: .
