It varies from day to day and week to week depending on what I have, what I have bought, and what has been given to me.

Generally speaking one meal per day is RMB and another is something else.

So Chicken, lamb,beef, pork, pheasant, venison, rabbit, partridge, turkey, duck, the occasional bit of ostrich etc thrown in.

Tripe, lungs, liver, kidneys, kidneys, tongue, trotters, necks, backs, ribs, legs, thighs, chunks, mince, the occasional head.

Bones large and small for recreational use.

Fish both tinned and fresh.

Eggs

Live yoghurt

Fruit and vegetables

Herbs

As well as some supplements thrown in.

Yesterday they had guinea fowl.

I'll just go by what I ordered last and what I'm ordering this month..

This month they had:

Minces:
- Beef and Liver
- Beef and Heart
- Chicken
- Rabbit
- Lamb
- Tripe and Oily fish

Whole foods (sort of):
- Chicken carcasses
- Whole rabbit

Chunks:
- Beef chunks
- Heart chunks

Other:
- Mixed lamb bones
- Half a cows pelvis (for recreation)

I also give them Sardines and eggs and they get the odd carrot every now and then..

I'm ordering next:

Minces:
- Beef and liver
- Beef and heart
- Lamb and Beef Tripe

Whole foods:
- Duck necks
- Whole Rabbits

Chunks:
- Beef
- Heart

Other:
- Mixed beef bones
- Lamb ribs

They'll also be getting some fish from the supermarket - if I can get there later at night, some yogurt and I'm going to make a SB Smoothie for them a few times a week, so that'll probably be some fruit and veg in there... (it'll make my normal shopping trolley look healthier anyway )

My basic menu is

Mon: Chicken mince and pig/ox/lamb heart
Tues: Minced tripe & lamb, chicken wings, pig/ox/lamb/chicken liver
Weds: Chicken mince, white fish, pig/ox/lamb kidney
Thurs: Chunky tripe and chicken carcass
Fri: Beef chunks, pig lungs, oily fish, raw egg
Sat: Chicken mince, chicken wings, pig/ox/lamb/chicken liver
Sun: Eco mince, half a furred rabbit

The chicken carcass is often replaced by chicken quarters, lamb ribs or pig trotters

He gets recreational bones for chewing. Gets the odd lamb head, hoping to get a pig head

I throw in any left over cooked veg. Daily raw carrot. Bits of fruit stuffed in toys (usually apple and banana).

ETA: rabbit is sometimes replaced with turkey leg or the occassional pork shoulder

This is an "on-paper" meal but in reality, like most raw feeders, it varies from day to day, week to week. Mine get fed two meals a day

Mon - Chicken, fish
Tues - Green tripe, chicken necks, mixed (pork) offal
Weds - Chunky tripe, chicken
Thurs - Lamb & tripe mince, chicken wings, liver
Fri - 'Economy' (mixed meats/offal) mince, fish
Sat - Chicken, ox heart
Sun - Beef mince, chicken necks, mixed (pork) offal

Chicken varies - sometimes its mince, sometimes it's breast meat, sometimes it's a meaty leg, sometimes its a whole chicken body (minus wings/legs/head). This is actually an older example and I tend not to feed necks nowadays, and only wings occasionally - mostly it's chicken carcasses. Fish can vary from fillets, whole fish, tinned fish or even Fish4Dogs salmon mousse (99% salmon) - the latter I try to keep in stock for convenience or to stuff the Kong with.
I pick up reduced meats at the supermarket to swap meals just for something different, e.g. steaks, pork chops, turkey fillets, etc. plus they have half a whole rabbit each a couple of times a month. My "method" nowadays is really to order the balance of meat/offal/bone over a month and just grab bits out of the fridge without worrying too much about what they have.

I used to stick religiously to a meal plan, but now, I am much more of a stick hand in freezer, dig around and pull out whatever I fancy him having . This is what his meal plan looks like roughly though...

Monday - Chicken (bone-in) and Ox liver
Tuesday - Beef chunks and Chicken (bone-in)
Wednesday - Heart and Fish
Thursday - Tripe and Lamb ribs
Friday - Chicken (bone-in) and Kidney
Saturday - Beef chunks and Chicken (bone-in)
Sunday - Fish and Turkey necks

I am starting to decrease the amount of chicken he gets though, and increase the beef, heart and ribs I just always try to have one of his meals with bone, and one without. I also make sure he gets liver and kidney apart from each other. He gets the odd chicken wings, for treat or if I fancy him having a little extra bone.

i will write mine down for you, but it does vary to be honest because i swap and change and get what ever i need out of the freezer..

Monday
AM: mince
PM: chicken wings

Tuesday
AM:mince
PM: sardines

Wednesday
AM: tripe
PM: rib bones

Thursday
AM: tripe
PM: pilchards

Friday
AM: mince
PM: chicken wings

Saturday
AM: mackeral
PM: mince

Sunday
AM: mince with egg
PM: mince with whatever is left from roast dinner

they do also have liver and kidney and i just choose two meals a week to add their offal to and they have half mince half offal.

mince flavours include: beef, lamb, and turkey. going to try rabbit this time round. theyve also have chicken but arent too keen on it and seem to prefer the chicken wings instead of the mince form.
