If you have the nerve to try organ meat, I would suggest this.


Why this bee in the bonnet about "organs"? Famous old medical exam
question: "What is the largest human organ?". Answer: "Skin". And it
is not just foreskin, either. Is chicken skin out, too? Are only
internal organs out, so to say? If so, muscles are out, too, and one is
effectively condemned to vegetarianism.

While I consider the heart (and tongue for that matter) to be simply
another type of muscle, I *do* balk at eating filter organs. No liver
or kidneys for me, thankyouverymuch. That's where the body attempts to
process most of the hormones, antibiotics and other crap that's added to
animal food these days.

I miss chicken livers, but confine my consumption to two or three every
once in a great while (my grocery store sells fried livers and gizzards
once a week).

My mom used to fix brains, too. And I actually liked them in spite of
knowing what they were. But those are no longer on my menu, either.

And glands. No thanks, you can have my share of sweetbreads and rocky
mountain oysters.
