Thank you. I am going to try this next time I find liver for sale. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted: Fry a pound of bacon. In that fresh grease fry the liver and onion and potatoes. Put a bite of each on each forkful.   Mom always used Crisco. And often over cooked it so it was chewy and rubbery. 
Cook it more to a med rare to med. and the liver should just about melt in your mouth. That's good eatin' right there. |

I am one of those selective eaters who eats only muscle tissue (non-organ meat) and just one other thing: I'll eat liver if it's in the form of liverwurst or liver pate.
I'll also eat a variety of cold cuts, pepperoni, salami, sopressata, chorizo, various sausages, hot dogs, etc, but I won't touch head cheese, scrapple, or any other identified organ meat. My tastes, my preference. Not saying your preference is wrong, it's YOURS. I just choose not to eat some of those things. |

A lot of it is an acquired taste, and it's often not cooked well by home cooks (and sometimes pro chefs, for that matter).
Historically, organ meats were generally considered less desirable. Offal, translated, basically means "waste" or "garbage" It's not like this is a new thing, we are just rich enough that even poor people can afford to not eat them. Plus, our industrial processes mean that organ meats go into various other products. Much of what remains is often purely nostalgic... Traditional meals that were eaten when people were dirt poor, and having any animal protein was a rare treat, and those dishes have survived in some form to the present. In some cases, health issues have also pushed people away... Nobody wants to get mad cow disease. |

It is common in Western society.
I think you mean the United States, more specifically. Anyway, my family eats the hell out of all those tasty bits others can't tolerate. Problem is that some stuff has become popular, like lengua. Used to be cheap and super tasty eats....not any more. At least not around here. Sweetbreads and brains have gone up in price too, dammit.

i think americans had no idea how to prepare it. so they stuck it all into a blender and made hotdogs/sausages instead.
basically, americans DO eat other organs, just as a hotdog is all. i would even argue that americans love other organs more than any other country. most countries sit down to eat other organs as a meal. and then when they finish that meal, they stop eating and do something else. americans will eat a hotdog at any event - baseball game, concert, etc. and not only will americans eat 4 hot dogs for the event, they'll have dinner on top of that. then they have hotdogs after shopping (been to an ikea or most malls?) and that's before we get into spam. or sausage. americans put sausage on everything - pastas, skillets, soups. if anything, i would guess americans eat way more 'other' organs than most foreigners. i think filly cheese steak is popular too and is also meat 'product'. many cities also have gyros, which is similar to cheese steak meat product. not just beef either - a lot of chicken sandwiches are actually 'processed' in a way to seem like muscle. but it's actually chicken bits in a blender and dried to simulate meat product. |

I see no one spent time in the meat industry. Read the labels. USDA regs state everything must be listed on the label. Variety meats means hearts, etc. California chorizo often contains tripe, salivary glands, etc.
Long term not the healthiest for you. Hot dogs - read the label to known what you are eating. Poultry based hot dogs mostly are made from mechanically deboned meat. (You probably don’t want to know). Ever hear of Mad Cow Desease? Prions do cross species. Just stay away from skeletal and nervous system tissue in your diet. Primary cuts only. Read the labels. |

Quoted:
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?  Attached File Attached File |
