After reading the post about 'drain boards" for purge issues I remember something interesting.
We went deep see fishing earlier this year and when we anchored the captain poured a "liquid chum" into the water. He said it will attract the fish. Yea I thought, probably sharks! LOL> I ask him what was in the chum and he told me that his brother in law was a meat cutter and he brings it home to him for free. He said I store it in a refrigerator until I use it. The stinker the better and it works. Yep it was boxed beef purge.
So now a light-bulb goes on in my head. Can box beef purge be sold at retail for fishing? Why not! It is an edible item right?
Many fishermen buy all kinds of meat for fishing; chicken livers, backs and necks for crabbing and gizzards, so why not beef purge?
Maybe you can put it into the pint cups and sell it frozen. Who would be willing to try this?? Its better than going down the drain.
One more thing while I am thinking about it. One of the most expensive fertilizers for your garden is dried blood. Just 12 ounces is about $8.00. Dried blood was the big money maker in rendering although you need lots of energy to produce it. So one day my wife says bring me home some of that purge and I put it on my plants. Wow! It work. The only thing was I put the purge in her house plants. In about 3 days she called me and said you need to come home. I said why. She said there is a dreadful smell in our house. The first thing I thought was maybe a sewer leak but it wasn't. It was the purge in all her indoor plants. I thought she was going to kill me. So I had to re-pot all 10 plants. But boy were they green!LOL>
Hmmmm. Well you let the cat out of the bag on that one. I would take an idea like that and make it mine and sell it under my brand. Maybe I would pick it up from local markets for free. Doing it for the store however would only benefit the owners though. Then we would be overwhelmed by fishermen demanding frozen purge for 49 cents. These fishermen will likely only buy their purge and maybe beer then be out of the store. To me it sounds like a good enterpreour opportunity.

That's a super good idea! Best I've heard in a long time. I'd check with some gardeners, check gardening Internet forums and ask if anyone knows if that's good fertilizer or not and which plants it's good for and which it might not be good for and is it "organic" fertilizer? If it's truly good fertilizer, then why not sell it?

Well now fdarn I'm to old to start anything else but maybe some of our members can make a few bucks with it. I am putting money making ideas out here because Leon said that I have to help him bring in more donations or else! LOL>LOL> We need to keep this thing going for the meat-cutter-grandkids out there. LOL, LOL> Further more maybe I can get royalties out of it like I am getting from A & P, IBP, Excel, AFD, Mopac, and Murco for all the money I helped them make while employed with them! (If you believe that, I've got some prime water front-swamp land available cheap down in Florida. LOL>LOL>LOL>LOL>
Even better (not really) when I worked for the independents (as a cutter not a manager!) I worked for some guys who would dump the purge into the blender to add weight to the ground beef. But then, those stores also had crushed ice machines to dump into the blender to "chill' (and of course add weight) to the grinds.
