Instructions: This recipe makes enough to serve 6-10. If you are able to find a sheeps stomach, double the amounts. Rinse and repeat till clean.

If the butcher has not trimmed the heart, liver and lungs, do that first.

(Cut the heart open to rinse it so it may cook more quickly.) Put them in a large pot with 1 to 1/2 cups water, bring to a boil and simmer for about an hour and a half. Let it all cool and keep the broth. Run the liver and heart through the meat grinder. Take the lungs (lights) and cut out as much grisly part as you can and run them through a grinder too. Next put the raw beef suet through the grinder. As you finish grinding each thing, put it in the big pot. Peel, slice and chop onions and then add them to the meat in the kettle. Add the salt and spices and mix.

Toast or brown oatmeal lightly in heavy bottomed pan on top of the stove. Add to pot and mix thoroughly. Add 1 to 1/2 cup broth left from boiling the meat.

Check if it sticks together when you grab a handful of the mixture. If not, add more broth
so that it holds together. Stuff in plastic baking bag till about 3/4 full.

If you are using a sheep stomach, have the smooth side out and stuff it about 3/4 full and sew up the opening. Wrap in cheesecloth so that when it is cooked, you can handle it. Prick with a skewer (so it wont explode from the steam).

(You may
wish to do this occasionally early on when cooking). Fill large pot with at least 1 gallon of water and bring to a boil. Boil gently for 4 to 5 hours. Serve with neeps (turnips) or clapshot (mashed turnips & potatoes).
