What’s for supper, Grandpa?

I didn’t think anything would be worse than that beef liver I bought last week to cut up for the dogs. Did you know you don’t really have to cut liver? It kind of tears. (Shudder.) Then today, I found…


Kidneys!

Organs not to your taste? Okay, then how ’bout some nice:


Pork feet quarters?

In the words of Grandpa Jones’s appreciative Hee Haw audience and The Compound Canines, “Yum, yum!”

      1. A Saturday night staple in the Beagle household. I had planned to get my dad a dvd with several episodes for chrustmas the year he passed away in August. He LOVED Buck Owens. Now I have to go to the site.

  1. Ok, I know I’m the odd guy out, but I like beef liver. Now mind you I’m not allowed to make it at home, in fact, no idea how to fry it. I do order it take out from a little place in town, but my family won’t even go near me when I eat it. Liver and onions, yum.
    Now, the kidneys and gizards are a totally different thing, ick. And I have real pigs so pigs feet and snouts or whatever they call them, is just wrong. lol.

  2. Here is what i remember from Hee Haw

    Where o where are you tonight
    Why did you leave me here all alone
    I searched the world over and thought I found true love
    You met another and

    PFFT

    you was gone.

      1. I still sing that song too … when I was little it madme laugh out loud…I don’t know why more people aren’t familar with it… American Classic I say

  3. OY VEY!

    Wait until your get to kidneys! Back in the “specialty meat” class at food inspector school the teacher said the only way to cook a kidney is to boil the piss our of it. What did you expect from food inspector humor. Ms. Nickie won’t eat raw liver, it has to be poached to suit her palate. Oskar LeChat will only eat raw chicken liver — chopped please. He also won’t each raw fish, He likes it poached. Feeding pets is more work than feeding humans these days.

      Margot and Guinness inhaled their kidney chunks so fast today that I don’t think they tasted piss or anything else. Rex, however, sniffed the kidney piece I gave him (just as a treat–he eats dinner much later than the girls). Then he licked it. Put it in his mouth. Dropped it. Licked it again. Then Guinness moved in and ate it. Rex didn’t seem too broken up about losing it to her.

    1. Organs are CHEAP! Kidneys as well as liver. However, the ox tail last night was a lot more than it was the time Tim and I got some.

      You know, that last sentence is not something I ever thought I’d hear myself say…

        And this explains why we never get mass e-mails about a cow waking up in a hotel bathtub full of ice with a note and a telephone nearby.
