My Mom was a lousy cook. I didn't know steak came any other way but chicken fried to shoe leather hardness, until I left home.

That is just too funny, Bay!

ETA: As I read further I see you don't know how hard it's going to be go get in and out of the truck bed

Okay, @OneFineAcre. Any suggestions???

We have lifted our 100 lb LGDs onto the tailgate - each of us take a side & lift, with arms under chest & groin area. Not so easy when they don't want to go in the truck.

I'm concerned about getting a 125lb pregnant doe onto the tailgate, without a ramp - unless Goatgurl has a porch we could back up to like it was a loading dock.

I had to run that one through google translate and they didn't get it exactly right. They came up with this...
"What stomach does not have eyes"
I know my Spanish well enough to know that that was not a question but a statement..."The stomach no have eyes" would be more correct.

True, Google translate is far from perfect but usually gets me to the right idea. You should look up the videos of songs run through GT multiple time through different languages then back to English. Pretty funny.

I think the "does not" vs "no" is correct however.

I've never heard of 'texture problems".
???

@greybeard you'd probably recognize it as MRE....

 

[AClark]

Cntry, I doubt it. MRE's frequently have separated things that look gross in them, and you just mix it back in and eat it anyway. The cheese and PB spread the most, that stuff looks nasty if you don't knead the package first.
Grey probably could relate with C-rats.

Personally, I don't get the texture thing myself. I'm not a picky eater by any means.

Everyone has their quirks

I can skin and gut deer with one hand and eat a sandwich with another. Doesn't bother me.
Watching necropsies while eating- doesn't bother me.

I've had grown men freak out over "gross" things I do. I'm not easily grossed out. But food with a particular texture.........

But, like I said- if it was what I could afford or the only thing I had- obviously I'd eat it.

If I have a potato, I'm going to make it into something I like.

 

[AClark]

I'm much the same way. Nothing grosses me out other than snot. My 5 year old will rocket that stuff and it gets a gag out of me. Animal snot, not at all. Blood, guts, bodily fluids other than snot are all whatever.

There are plenty of foods I don't care much for, liver being one of them. I think that's been the only thing I actually spit out rather than just sucking it up and eating that piece and calling it good. That wasn't texture, that was just the nasty flavor of it though. It's like cutting yourself off a slice of your trucks oil filter, and I can attest to the fact that 15w40 tastes better than liver.

 

[CntryBoy777]

Well, I really hate to disagree, because we Love liver and onions w/gravy on Mashed potatoes.
As far as being "Grossed" out, heck I'm a country boy, so about the only thing that gets me is "Dirty Diapers"...with 4 daughters and grandkids there have been Plenty and will change them, but it isn't without a Gag or 2.

@Devonviolet all ya need is a step for them and a bucket with some pellets in it...they will Hop up on their own, or if she has a stanchion it could be that step.
