And you have NO IDEA how happy I am to have the marvelous-sounding recipe.
Once I track down a cleaned sheep or lamb's stomach bag, the chopped mutton suet, and the sheep heart, I'm all set.
And so ... back to giving green tripe to dogs (and after this recipe, it doesn't sound as bad as it used to).
I do not have a steady supply (very sporadic, in fact), and I wish I did. Most of the produce I do feed is in lieu of, or as close as I can get it to, green tripe.
I agree Connie, I want to make sure IMO that people have to watch how much sugars they give rather it's in the fruits, or other items they throw in ...A big bowl of fruit is not good.I read some threads where people might read "berries and other fruits" and may not realize that very small quantities of it is fine but too much is not.

YES!
Some dogs really love fruit, but having read a ton of stuff about sugar being even more contributory to canine cancers than to human cancers (even aside from digestive issues), I keep fruits minimal. And I don't give the sugary ones (bananas, etc.) at all.
Well, not "never." But I don't think my dogs get more than a taste every few months of anything sugary.
I buy frozen wild blueberries (fresh in the summer), a few raspberries, pieces of melon in season.
No dried fruit, mangoes, bananas, or any of the other high-sugar fruits.
My dogs have refused to eat any veggies ever since I switched to raw, even though they used to like them. So I figured, if they need any plant stuff, they can eat the grass outside, which they sometimes do.
As for tripe, I buy my green tripe (green = unprocessed; not for human consumption in the US, so in the stores here you can only buy the cleaned "white" tripe, which is inferior) from a local raw feeder co-op (yahoo groups)in 40 lb cases.... We order roughly 3000 lbs of raw meat/bones/tripe every month now, which brings the shipping costs down to abour $14 cents per pound, which is awesome...... These co-op groups are popping up all over the place and most of them have a source for green tripe. I get my ground beef (cheaper then Walmart's! even with s/h), trachea, whole ox tails and knuckle bones from them.
I heard there's a really big co-op in California, and they even get exotic meats like emu and ostrich and water buffalo...
Acquiring a dog, may be the only time a person gets to choose a relative....
