Dog Food Geek on Aisle Four

 One day, at Food Lion, I had a guy come up and start telling me how to COOK the stuff in my cart. He was recipe sharing. It was soooo cute, but.... *gag* No thank you! This is dog food!

LOl Becca the first time I went to Compare I was surveying all the offal etc and there were these three elderly black ladies, they looked like they had just left church - that was my imagination working - but they were stood in front of the bull's testicles which are these ginormous orbs.  One said now what in the world is that and no one knew so I told them - Their reaction was priceless.  Right next to the testicles were the penises - we were having a laugh so I told them what that was and they nearly passed out.  It was a fantastic laugh.

I have been getting some stuff from there but their beef heart is 1.99/lb vs Food LIon at .99/lb

I have been buying lots of limes for Mojitos though

They sell calf nuts?  I can get them for free!  They are a great product for dogs but it does do weird things to them reproductively.  Not a prb for our sterile pets but I have a friend who has BCs that have litters of 13 to 15 - they mostly eat calf nuts and cull chickens from their broiler houses.  And they live and are active into their late teens. 

Yes the beef heart was pricey.  I can't get heart at FL but Wally World has it for $1.09.  But, I'm talking to a guy up here in Yanceyville who has grass fed beef and I'm hoping to get him to sell me cull meat and organs.  These guys - they are fifteen minutes from us and he's interrested in our grass fed lamb, too - how cool is that? http://www.baldwingrassfedbeef.com

They sell calf nuts? 

not calf's nuts - BULL'S nuts they are huge, some larger than a grapefruit 

I'll check out the link in the morning 

Priceless!!!!

You could have mentioned the special "menudo" you have planned on making for the entire family....lol.  After all, your pets are family members!!

Chinese medicine, Becca.... Chinese medicine!!! LOL Like helps like, you know. Skin contains vitamin e and selenium. Brains have DHA and B12. Testicles have "oomph!" LOL

Yes.......... chinese medicine!! lol.....

The pizzle (to put it nicely), is practically viagra like..lol.

Would you like to come and clean the diet coke off my keyboard!

This thread is hilarious.  Carry on! 

Okey dokey!

Nope, ya got calf nuts there.  Bull nuts are waaaay bigger than grapefruit.  Ram testicles are about small grapefruit sized.  They still would call them bull parts though, since a "calf" can go either way (male/female) and it might not be immediately clear what you were looking at.  Like most pizzles are in fact steer parts because 90% of male beef slaughtered is steers.

Everything you always wanted to know, but were afraid to ask......*giggle*

Ben says "wow I get fed boring stuff compared to those guys!"

And I've been out west for the Rocky Mountain Oyster festivals and those are no bigger than a golf ball - thus my confusion.

Anyway I couldn't feed them to Bugs - heck I know if it's a body part he'd eat it but no no no way I could plop one of those in his bowl or goodness I couldn't cut it up, they are huge

I'm less squeamish with it all but still struggling - same for pizzle

Oh and they are both pretty pricey for dog food anyway  

By the way if I can make it to the farm on Saturday do you want some pancreas - mine  (Compare) always has that in 

Yes, please on the pancreas! 

We should do regular meat exchanges.  I'll make sure you get some of one of these culls I just marked out.  I'll bring it down later and we can meet halfway somewhere - Saturday you can meet him!

Heh.  The friend I mentioned above has a preconditioning place where they feed up calves that aren't ready for the feed lots.  Most of these come from small time farmers and less-well-managed operations where they don't bother to cut them.  The calves are newly weaned most of them, and intact, but are generally from 11 months to 18 months old.  Part of their workup on arrival is the little snip-snip. 

She's got a mountain feist, which is about the size of a JRT.  He's about nineteen years old and the chickens and bull nuts is about his diet.  One of those is pretty much a meal!  You should see him carrying the thing around, almost as big as his head. 

I can't imagine trying to slice one.  They are tough!  I'd describe what it takes to eat one but this is a family site and that would start straying into the realm of porn if one had one's mind down that road.

Now fingers crossed that I have my car back by then - I got rear ended at the end of May and it's been in repair shop for 10 days now   Supposed to be ready late today, please please please.
