I'm not a big fan of brains or lung, but pretty much everything else I'll eat. Just had panko crusted beef liver fried in bacon grease. That was good.
Foie Gras has to be my favorite. |

It occurred to me the other day that we generally think of meat as only edible if it’s muscular tissue, at least for the majority of folks I know. Having said that, I know plenty of people from other countries or cultures that have zero problems what so ever chowing down on literally anything that contains protein. Guts, bones, insects, it’s all protein and our body can process it just the same as animals do in the wild. I haven’t really adopted this culinary philosophy but I do wonder why that is the case. Can it be purely based on taste? Maybe nutritional value? View Quote |

I've always wanted to try kidneys. I had an old illustrated Brit' cookbook years ago and they looked pretty good.

I think you would admit that they are less common that muscle tissue as the go to for protein intake |

Yes, because big-dicked men eat the parts of the animal that handle waste. View Quote Heart, liver, tongue and other parts aren't 'waste handling' parts, junior. Of course, I don't let my 'feelz' rule my taste buds like y'all snowflakes. |

Perceived "ickyness" passed on to the next generation by people who have never been hungry a day in their lives.
"You can't eat that, that's nasty." That frequently turns out to be bullshit. |

I didn't like chicken liver when I was a kid. But as an adult, I love it with Tabasco. It's awesome.
I could eat it every day. |

Probably because they come from poor ass cultures who historically had to eat that slop because they had nothing else to eat. They had to make a goat last 6 months. Our ancestors were smarter so they didnt have to eat cocks, balls, tongues and buttholes. View Quote |

I love fried chicken livers!
My grandmother made me beef liver and onions a ton when I was a kid and I loved it! Just been so long I've forgotten what it tasted like. Anybody got a good recipe? |

I started eating "delicate meats" in high school. Heart and tongue was what got it started. I never cared for liver. Not a big Rocky Mountain oyster fan. I do like tripe, I like sweet breads, I like Haggis(lung and blood usually). Escargot isn't bad either.
Kidney tastes kind of chalky like liver when I tried it, so not a fan. Have yet to eat eyes or brains. My uncle works for the USDA as a research scientist. He told me to stay away from cow brains, but hog brains were okay. Chitlins are on my list to try. I always figured if times were tough, I'd like to know what parts taste good and cooked how. |

Never got the idea behind eating liver. I mean you know what the organs main function is right. I've seen people eat brains from animals.
Also heard a wives tail (hope its a myth) about Asians eating monkey brains while monkey is perched in the middle of a table and still alive. |

I'm surprised the Cajuns haven't chimed into this thread. Cajuns can make road kill taste good!
I get my liver fix with smoked boudin! |
