Mom and Dad stay with us most of the time as Dad has had several strokes and the on set of Dementia Mom cannot handle Him by herself. This weekend they went to My youngest Brothers house. Dad went wheeling through the kitchen and sees a bowl on the counter thinking it is a bowl of peanuts He grabs a handful and heads on to the living room. When My brother comes in a few minutes later and dad tells him he needs to get some fresh peanuts cause the ones over there are terrible.Brother says "Yea but its pretty good for dog food". Mom and dad are back with us but the dog food story has been a running joke ever since.

Years ago, guy came to work at the shop. He was a wanna-be biker/tough guy. First day at break, he has this little brown paper bag with dog food... that is what he had for a snack. Brought the same snack most days for the year or so he worked there..
 
My Father loves jerky of just about any kind. He also has a very weak stomach. You can get him gagging very easily. About 10 years ago he is talking to my wife in our kitchen. He see a bag of "Jerky" on the side counter. He takes out a big piece and proceeds to eat it. When he is about done my wife sees him eating it and tells him the "Jerky" is really dog treats. LAMO HE was out gagging off the porch. He is real careful now when he mooches things around here.
 
Gravy Train.

That was good stuff.

Little kid, I think I am not supposed to remember back that far, it would really melt in your mouth into a little gravy with the nuggets.

I can still see mom coming around the corner, hollering at me, and me getting one more handful in my mouth before she got it me......

Read an atricle some time back about strange jobs, or something to that effect. Anyway, there is at least one guy whose job it is to taste test dog food. Over the years I've heard many times about people trying doggie treats, etc as snacks, and they all said they are both good, and cheap. Still, I simply can't stomach the idea of trying it myself....
 
MY MIL is always on the lookout for "good deals". Few years back she found some tuna and some cat food that were both missing their labels. She stacked em separate and knew which stack was which. SO one day she's shopping with her sister and my FIL decided he's like tuna sandwiches for lunch.....he claimed the cat food was better than tuna any day.

Paul , I did the same thing when I was 5,6 yro. We had a bunch of us at home and our dogs ate the table scraps . Up at the nieghbors there was always a open 50 lb. bag of dog food and I always grabed a handful when I ran by . I thought it was great stuff , the rest of the kids thought I was nuts , they may have been right !
 
A friend told me this years ago.His brothers were always saying how good the meatball sandwiches were at this bar & grill.He went with them and tried the meat ball sandwich.Not so good, smelled funny.He went out back and looked in the dumpster.It was full of Rival dog food cans.He said his brothers had a lot of beer before they had the sandwiches.Rival dog food sold for 15 cents a can back then, had a pix of a German Shepard on the label.Dont see it in stores now,guess dogs didnt like it .
 
They say you wouldn't want to see what goes into making hot dogs, for sure I bet you wouldn't want to see what goes into dog food.
 
Had a guy at work that was always asking,if you had anything in your lunch you didn't want. Someone made him a cat tuna sandwich and brought it to work. Well he gobbled it down and said it was good. After that he was known as fat cat and they would start meowing when he came around.
 
I ate several boxes of those Gaines Dog Bone Biscuits when I was young and had a dog. They were very good. Thought about seeing if they still made them a few months ago and then got to thinking, you don't know what is in them these days. Gave the idea up right quick.
 
Rode with my son once when he delivered a tanker of chicken guts, etc., from Golden Plump in Cold Spring, MN, to Mattoon, Ill. Pet food plant sprays a slurry of that crap onto the production line, and label the product "chicken flavored". They used two tankers a week.
 
Grabbed a clear plastic jar of "Cookies", figured the Mrs. had been to Costco, and popped one in my mouth before reading the "horse" before the Cookies.

They were a little dry, and sure could have used some sugar.

I decided to try to make a little hay out of it (pun intended) when I told Mrs. (WA) about it- said I was so excited to see some cookies around here, for once, that I couldn't stop myself.

I still didn't get any cookies. . .
 
Way back in the day, was invited to a party by a young girl from a well-to-do family in town.

One particular guest was upset because she thought her "social standing" was much better than mine and that I should not have been invited.

I volunteered to help "grill" the burgers for the party.

Made sure that the upset guest got <a href="http://youtu.be/z0hht-BX17o">a very special burger</a>.
 
TGIN, Paul,

Damn, you could be one of the family! I had also "sampled" some dog food.

I did not get sick, don"t exactly remember the taste, but hopefully am not worse for wear.

Any of you "older" guys remember Jacky Gleason and the "Honey Mooners"?Remember the episode where he and Norton came up with the snack spread for crackers.Served it to his boss and a few other people.Everyone thought it ws great stuff.
