Lesley, tooo funny!

That stuff actually has a noun. I know someone could name the first stomache, too.

the 1st stomach is called the rumen---I give up on the offical name of 'cud'

-- pookie,mn (codemental@yahoo.com), May 06, 2002.

I thought that would be easy for us collection of country folks.

That stuff that they will spit up on you if you mess with them too much is call bezoar.
