July 20, 200224 yr comment_2104 I supose it is quite smelly. I'd forgotten about that part. I've made this stuff dozens of times now so I've sort of gotten used to it. Report
July 21, 200224 yr comment_2120 Still couldn't find any gluten flour, found some "Glutenized rice flour" so I'm trying that. Report
July 22, 200224 yr comment_2135 Well, looks like either glutenized rice flour doesn't work, or I didn't mix it in well enough. Looks pretty interesting when the fish swallow a chunk and then spend 10 seconds puffing white clouds out their gills. Makes them look like they're smoking. It also didn't hold together very well, so there are little fragments floating all over the tank. Now I've gotta decide what to do with what I made, I don't really want to feed it to them if it makes that much of a mess, but there's a pretty big lot of it. Guess the dog might get it, she got what was left of the beefheart and liver, so looks like she'll end up getting ALL of it. Report
July 22, 200224 yr comment_2142 Hi Ira, sounds like you had fun with that stuff. I have not tried using gluten flour before but this is what I do and it works for me. Bleend up some chicken liver, beef heart, fish, and spinich to an almost liquid consistancy then use a bowl and a wooden spoon to mix in some dried breadcrumbs till its a thick paste. Flaten it out betwwen sheets of creaseproof paper and freeze. Report
July 22, 200224 yr comment_2143 Fun? Ick, definitely not fun. Hmmm, You blend your mix to almost liquid? Maybe I didn't blend mine enough. Hey, Warren, wouldn't happen to be willing to sell me a batch next time you do some? hehehe. Report

Do you think Warren that this could be made entirely out of vegies for the BN's?? Cause they are getting thoroughly sick of courgettes, zuchini and cucumber (which have been keeping very well into winter this year). Currently I have lots of carrots, spinach and silverbeet in the garden, but need something to bind it together. Would this gluten work? Or shall I try gelatine? Report
