Eating Organ Meat?

[THE PILGRIM]

I’m at Walgreens buying 2 for the price of 1 Vitamin B12.
The guy In line next to me says-
You aren’t eating Liver?
I reply, I’m not eating any organ meat any more.
Then I go down a list of what I’m not eating any more.
I think the Mountain Oysters got him!
Probably the grossest I’m ain’t eating which isn’t an organ is Hoghead Cheese. Mostly congealed fat.
Worse Organ Dish I ever ate?
Sweet Breads.
It’s actually the thymus and pancreas.
Anybody still eating it?

I don't like most organ meats and my children have never eaten them. Honestly, they are surprised that people do.

Chicken livers, especially Greek style with onions, are my weakness.
Of course I also love them fried with hot sauce paired with a tall boy beer wrapped in a paper sack.

Good old English Steak and Kidney pie for the win.

I have to make my giblet gravy with turkey twice a year. I also get an order of chicken livers at the quick shop once in a while. I love beef liver but she who must be obeyed doesn't like the smell of it. the best liver I ever had was in Greece: cooked on a griddle with olive oil with onions and peppers. lee

Although I am completely gringo, I enjoy well prepared Menudo. Born and raised in Texas is my explanation.

Calf liver is great with onions unless it has been over-cooked. Over-cooked liver is probably why most people turn up their noses at the the infamous liver and onions.

And then there's Chitlins.

I eat just about anything and everything but not internal parts!

I grew up eating offal and other things not found in the pages of Bon Appétit. The ones that I still eat are chicken livers and gizzards, beef tongue, braunschweiger and natural casings.

Call me when dinner's ready.

Hard to imagine someone disliking chicken livers (wrapped in bacon and deep fried) or grilled calf liver and onions, both with a healthy dose of Tabasco or something similar.

Yet some people eat Spam?

My grandmother made a wonderful S&K pie.

Alas, I don't have enough rank to get Ruthie to let a kidney into the house. Mom does one on my birthday just for me.

(Should I bring up Black Pudding?)

No longer eat liver, but am good to go with sliced delicatessen-style beef tongue, pickled lamb tongue & deer heart.

I love liver and onions, but that's my limit on organ meats. I also refuse to eat veal and lamb. I once saw some lambs and calves being slaughtered, decided I wanted no part of it.

Whatever happened to Larks' tongues. Wrens' livers. Chaffinch brains. Jaguars' earlobes. Wolf nipple chips. Dromedary pretzels. Tuscany-fried bats

I have eaten them all but liked liver & onions best..... if not over cooked.

However my Doctor told me to go easy on them and to try to get my Iron from other sources, if possible.

Liver does work well for catfish and mudbugs, though........
fixed like salmon roe bags to last longer.

Liverwurst, liver pate’, liver and onions. Once in Mexico, I was curious about a dish called higado. I gathered from the waitress it was beef, but she couldn’t tell me what kind. It turned out to be liver cut in cubes and cooked in a delicious sauce.

Every so often, my pop used to give us sweetbreads, sauteed very gently. They were very mild and tender. I ordered them once in a restaurant and they were charred and tough, not bad compared to an overcooked sausage, but not what I was used to.

I have eaten just about every part of a cow’d head, but in recent years draw the line at sesos (brains) on account of BSE. I made it halfway through a cow’s eyeball once, but had to give it up.

Any place that serves menudo will usually have pozole, which I prefer. There is a Chinese restaurant in town that has a daunting array of exotic ingredients. When dining with my father, I tried to limit him to one intestine dish. “But Pop, there’s so much other good stuff” was usually a winning argument.

Mom would fry liver with gravy and onion but no more after triple bi pass. My grandpa and uncles had farms so I've had sweet breads ,souse meat and Chitlins etc. Don't eat it stuff like now because it is very high cholesterol.

Granted, you shouldn't eat any of that stuff on a regular basis, but I doubt a few times a year would do much harm.

No longer eat liver but I really enjoy heart. Beef, venison, or birds it is all good. I also eat gizzards. I prefer my sausage to have natural casings and have eaten intestines in various forms but now its probably just as casings unless I travel somewhere exotic.
Are you sure you don't eat organs? No fast food burger or taco meat?

Lived in Hong Kong and traveled extensively in China for 3 years. The “stuff” you would see cooking in the small eateries was enough to turn me away. They don’t waste anything.
