Dog Chef : List Famous Liver Bread

Now for your four legged friends, the all time favorite LIVER BREAD:

It has been a long time since I saw last or baked this scrumptious recipe. How come time flyes so fast? ...Oh well, I was just thinking how much my Bela-Bu loved Liver Bread. You couldn't possibly be in the house when I was baking THIS stuff. Stinky bake for most of you...but for the rest of US (dog+dog_chef), it was gold :)

I was first introduced to Liver Bread and the Barf Diet in late 2000 by my dearest friend and Vizsla breeder in Northern California: Kit Richards. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

To learn about the Barf Diet please read an article I wrote and published sometime ago HERE in this same blog :)

MESSIEST

THING TO MAKE. Although this may sound revolting to two-legged creatures, the four-legged critters love it. Liver Bread is great for baiting in the ring, not messy and great for snacks. Be forewarned though, Liver Bread is the ugliest and messiest thing you've ever seen when preparing it. If you can get pass that, your dogs will love you! Will Snyder. Napa, California, USA.

So, here you have THE recipe:

Ingredients:

1 lb. beef liver, 2 cups flour and 1/2 tsp. garlic powder.

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Place the raw liver in a blender and process on high until smooth and frothy. Pour into a mixing bowl and add flour and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly and spread out onto a greased 8x8" baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes. Cut into squares while warm. When cool store in airtight containers in the refrigerator or freezer.

The Barf Diet dit it!

Today I read an excellent article (Fixing an Epileptic Pug, by Bob Wallace) and was very happy to learn that I am not the only one feeding my dogs good, healthy, fresh food. Not the horrible kibble most of the people feed their beloved pets, not knowing they are actually making them sick.

I am quoting this paragraph from the BARF website:

"BARF is an acronym for Biologically Appropriate Raw Food and also stands for Bones And Raw Food. Other apt terms include evolutionary diet, natural diet and species appropriate diet. Every living animal requires a biologically appropriate diet. If you think about it, not one animal on earth is adapted by evolution to eat a cooked food diet. This means our BARF World diet is exactly what we should be feeding to our pets."

Actually, we -humans- will all be healthy IF we put ourselves on this kind of diet. BUT, to tell you the truth I do not feel like eating raw liver and bones every day! So, to make sure WE are eating the best, I do all my shopping selecting always the freshest and more colorful fruits, vegetables and meats.

The raw food principle is not new. Some groups have tried for many many years to educate US about nutrition. One of my favorite is The Weston A. Price Foundation, with their -Wise Traditions in Food, Farming and the Healing Arts- magazine. They are a GREAT source of knowledge.

Have a fantastic weekend!

P.S. Take a look at this photo album and meet my two beloved companions: Silky-Lu (weimaraner) and Hannibal (basset hound). They BARF every day and love it!
