Those are kidneys. You can always tell by the smell, though Kidney smells a little pee-like.

I never thought I'd see the day that I'd know one organ from another. Much less be able to identify them by smell.

 

No kidding? They just didn't look right to me! But they were just about 6-7oz each - we feed each 60lb dog between 3-4oz of organ a day - so they were SUPER easy to portion - and they were only $1.19 a pound, which I thought was a decent deal!

THANKS Ania's mom - thankfully, I do not have a sensitive sense of smell and I did not smell them at all!

 

Yep kidneys alright. Buy they're huge!!!

 

Definitely kidney. I've been sticking to beef as it tends to smell less for some reason. My first experience was horrible with pork kidney. Jordan wouldn't eat it so I thought to sear it a little with garlic and it stunk up my whole house of urine. HOT URINE. Lol.

 

Thanks everyone for your responses! I should have just "image searched" it on google - there were plenty of photos there when I thought to do it later!

I'm really lucky - my dogs have yet to turn their noses up to any of the organ meat I have fed them - GOOD DOGGIES! :tongue:

 

Lucky, I was suprised that Jordan is a picky eater. I never knew. Jubilee will eat anything but he is kind of slow and picky to try new things. Now he eats them no problem but I haven't tried the pork kidney again yet. I'll admit, I'm scared. I put that on the top of one of the dumbest things I've ever done. LOL.

 

those ARE huge.....almost looked like lungs at first glance...mine are so much smaller...

good find!

 

Kidneys, you can tell by the 'veins' & fat in the middle. As well as the smell, I can't ever get the smell of beef kidneys off my skin even with wearing gloves.

 

Lamb kidneys are the perfect size and you don't have alot of smell!:biggrin:
