I suppose I will be paying the piper someday on that one as well. Glad your feeling better, my friend. Did somebody say bacon??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 You need to watch more TV, TW. You'd harden up your stomach enough you could laugh at the allowable % of insects and rodent feces in prepared foods. Half an hour watching the news and you could harvest rodent feces for a snack. Probably better for you too. You have a polite wife Scott, most folks don't say "nostrils." Hot dogs are emulsified meat that is squirted into I don't know what it's made of casing. Speaking of emulsified meat, it's getting hard to keep weight on our old cat. She loves canned chicken in gravy but only licks the gravy off, leaving the . . .pieces. I bought an emersion blender and make cat food smoothy a can at a time. She can't lick the gravy off without lapping up the rest. I'm wondering if I squirted it into casings if I could serve it as custom chicken sausage at parties. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott NC Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Of course, years ago the casing used to be the intestines, like Thomas said, "everything but the oink", today, who knows. Probably synthetic plastic of some sort. You are an inventive fellow with that emersion blender. Good for your old cat. Whats her name. Don't recall....

TWISTEDWILLOW Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Jerry’s pet mountain lion is named Damascus! Many many moons ago, my family spent 15 years operating a commercial chicken farm, 10 houses 440’ long an 40’ wide, with 25000 birds per house… there was two dumpsters one for each of the five houses, every day you had to walk through an cull the sick or deformed ones as well as pick up all the dead, then haul them out to the dumpsters, twice a week a truck would come empty the dumpsters… then it picked up dead chickens on all the other farms in the area, when full it would either go to a plant in Little Rock or up to Missouri, where they would chop up the dead rotting chickens and make dog and cat food with them! and if y’all like that story I can tell you things you don’t wanna know about that Tyson chicken you been buying at Wally World! Lol, Jerry I don’t watch much tv maybe 30-40 minutes a day with my toddler in the evening, fun fact about me though In my time around the woods an creek here and as well as my time overseas I’ve eaten some stuff that most people wouldn’t get close to lol, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Our downstairs cat's full name is, "Empress Damascus, Bug's Bane." Geeze TW, if you think that's shocking you REALLY need to watch more TV! Cat's are obligatory carnivores, their food must be mostly meat or they die from internal organ failure. They've evolved for million of years to be resistant to "aged" meat and internal organs. What's in dog food? Have you ever watched what a dog will eat, eagerly and with relish? We used to have a dog that would bury fish heads for a couple days before digging them up and enjoying the RIPENESS. Modern pet food is all cooked or cans would be opening themselves and kibble would have a distinct . . . aroma. I thought EVERYBODY knew not to drink the water in Mexico, Scott. Cooked food is usually okay but beer is about the only soft quenchant safe to drink. Coffee or Tea from bottled water isn't so risky. Frosty The Lucky.

Scott NC Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I have no excuse, Jerry. I was young and went haywire down there. They eventually concluded I ate a toxic fish. I don't think the water could have done THAT to me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I went to the scrapyard today; only took out 65# (US$13). Best find was a drilling hammer head stamped Solid Cast Steel, 7 lbs, E.H.J????????, St Louis? Now I have a nice old hammer blank to reforge. Some deep wall sockets to use as monkey tools, a small toolbox with a magnetic parts dish in it, 2 car rattler speakers for their magnets, pair of diagonal cutters, some small chain, a pressurized gas cylinder, small, marked Matheson Propane, with the valve already pulled, a plastic milk crate to put a BBQ propane bottle in for transport, a piece of blackpipe for a roller, misc nuts & bolts.

Frosty Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I hear you Scott. The first few times Dad and I went fishing in Ensenada he didn't let me out of his sight the whole time. His orders to the hotel restaurant was no more than 2 beers per meal. I didn't like the wine and when they seated you they brought a glass of wine or a beer instead of water. Frosty The Lucky.

ThomasPowers Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I used to eat in the employee cafeteria in the Foxconn factory in Juarez when I worked there. However after having some GI issues my Dr told me to pack a lunch for the rest of the time I was there; brought my own iced tea every day too.

George N. M. Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 TW, they do the same thing with dead animals at dairies and feed lots. Seeing a truck go by filled with a pile of carcasses will make you swallow hard. Once cut up it was sometimes hard to tell the origin of the meat. So, there was a legal requirement that each piece be sprinkled with powdered charcoal so that it couldn't be diverted into human consumption. Disposal of dead animals and animal waste is a major issue in the food industry. Composting is a surprisingly good way of dealing with this. "By hammer and hand all arts do stand."

Frosty Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Mike Rowe did a couple episodes of Dirty Jobs about disposing of animal carcasses ad pet food. Another episode was about a pig farmer who collected all the food disposed of by Las Vegas hotels and casinos. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Now days around here all the commercial farms installed incinerator's to burn the dead birds up on site, what’s funny about raising tens of thousands of chickens commercially for public consumption, is the birds are harvested every 7-8 weeks… to put that in perspective for those of you who have no experience with raising chickens, a normal yard bird in farmer Johns barn yard running around chasing grasshoppers and eating scratch grains or even high protein feed and grass an weeds can’t reach the weight commercial birds do in 6 to 8 months vs 7 weeks… what do you think is in the feed to grow em that fast? they put no antibiotics on the label? We dumped five gallon buckets at a time of antibiotics into the mixing barrels that fed into the water lines… In all fairness to all the commercial companies, this was all practice in the 90s and early 2000s, I don’t know what they do now, but….. kinda makes ya wonder?
