Same with the other animals. <br /><br />And as far as the game hens go... I raised chickens once a long time ago, for a project. I'm familiar with 'em. It only seems to me a little inefficient... chickens aren't exactly brainy, and a young one isn't missing anything over an old one. They honestly appeared to me about as intelligent as a walking vegetable capable of scratching for it's own sustenance.Dr. StrangeGunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03349076338197668654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-36051506808344705662010-12-27T12:52:29.912-05:002010-12-27T12:52:29.912-05:00I am quite familiar with an individual who set up ...I am quite familiar with an individual who set up a leasing deal during the mid nineties. He had to go check out the equipment. The company would set up shop across from a slaughter house and buy for very cheap what the house would have been discarding. Ugh. Then they had these new machines and sluries which would spin the product at crazy speeds and collect what flung off. He will not eat at Taco Bell.<br />I think they have also changed or abandoned the term "by-products"mchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11571641888235183785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-66715783994918771602010-12-26T08:48:10.463-05:002010-12-26T08:48:10.463-05:00Statesmen?

One of my duties was making patties. The process required a 40lb box of frozen cow parts (everything but bones and hooves). A bandsaw, ice pick, sausage grinder, very large mixing tub, a 55 gal barrel of fat chunks, a scale, and a patty shaping/stacking machine was used. The scale was used to add the required amount of fat to the mixing tub to make the three grades of burgers. IIRC, 10-20-30% fat content.<br /><br />I avoided eating hamburgers for a while after that job.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-91165718710332386482010-12-25T16:03:30.834-05:002010-12-25T16:03:30.834-05:00Certainly the amendment was in force during Roman ...Certainly the amendment was in force during Roman days-<br /><br />"Cui Bono?"<br /><br />And, speaking as the lawyer who roved that it was legal to commercially sell salmonella infected chicken in the Western District of Virginia, the CFR often contains some pretty eye opening and stomach unsettling stuff.<br /><br />For example, do you know what a "Cornish game hen" is?<br /><br />A baby chicken.staghoundshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05976667812875074135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-46701240565169787032010-12-25T12:50:46.853-05:002010-12-25T12:50:46.853-05:00This'd be a whole lot more interesting with pi...This'd be a whole lot more interesting with pictures:<br /><br />http://www.suratnaturopathic.com/blog/wdycf/<br /><br />nummyShermhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07098953206824247173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-61473165025909222212010-12-25T12:10:54.517-05:002010-12-25T12:10:54.517-05:00Politicians are frustrated philosophers who grew b...Politicians are frustrated philosophers who grew bored with proving that cats were ducks.damaged justicenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-38958708130703089772010-12-25T12:09:41.090-05:002010-12-25T12:09:41.090-05:00I'll have to admit that the government knows b...I'll have to admit that the government knows best on this one. <br /><br />After all, they get 100% of the pork pushed through the congress.ViolentIndifferencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01074840251055457615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-27488189717899115662010-12-25T11:58:28.324-05:002010-12-25T11:58:28.324-05:00I think our government is currently scraping our b...I think our government is currently scraping our bones.Robert Langhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16497658569363397644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-40092213088733566952010-12-25T11:50:18.643-05:002010-12-25T11:50:18.643-05:00The right seasoning and/or libation can make even ...The right seasoning and/or libation can make even bad sausage palatable.<br /><br />The same cannot be said about bad law.<br /><br />'Sausage' is a noun that describes a particular something before it enters the digestive tract; that which emerges at the end of that canal is sometimes analogous to 'law'.<br /><br />Merry Christmas to you & Rx & the cats.
