Pork stomach, also known as "hog maws," is "scalded to remove the mucosa
lining and washed absolutely free of any foreign material. The color may
range from white to a light pale yellow." It's also tough as leather. But
according to the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference:
"Pork, fresh, variety meats and by-products, stomach, raw" has 45 calories
per ounce.

I'd feed it as meat.
