Quote HistoryQuoted:
What exactly do you think the liver does? It removes bilirubin, ammonia, and other toxins from the blood. (Bilirubin is a by-product of the breakdown of hemoglobin from red blood cells.) It doesn't store them. It processes most of the nutrients absorbed by the intestines during digestion and converts those nutrients into forms that can be used by the body. The liver also stores some nutrients, such as vitamin A, iron, and other minerals. It produces cholesterol and certain important proteins, such as albumin. It produces clotting factors, chemicals needed to help blood clot. What did you think it does? |

Maybe we are the richest culture and can pick and chose what parts of an animal to eat? The lesser cuts feed our pets or are shipped to other markets.

A.W.D. Some examples: Bone marrow and liver pate is popular at a lot of fancy restaurants in any major city. Braunschweiger (aka Liverwurst) and giblet gravy are common throughout all of Texas. Chitlins and cracklins are common in East Texas. In the Hispanic parts of Texas you can find menudo, lingua, chicharron, etc. And there is plenty more I didn't list. |

I eat the liver and heart of every deer and squirrel I kill. I also eat the liver, heart and gizzard of the wild turkeys I kill and chickens. I inspect them and as long as they look good I eat them. I don't care how hungry I am I'm not eating stomach or intestines. I tried kidney and didn't like it.

I had some heart. It was cut into small pieces and cooked on a grill on a stick like a little K-bob. Good eating.
I've also consumed a bunch of lamb and veal sweetbreads. When we were down in B. Aries, they were like appetizers with many meals. Wash it down with some malbec. Very tasty. |

Threw a bd party for the wife (gf at the time). Thought it was good idea to order a bunch of fried chicken. She also cooked up some gizzards. The gizzards were gone in minutes while we were left eating fried chicken for a week.
Mostly her co-scholarship people from Equitorial Guinea. |

Haven't read all 4 pages, but someone should say that eating the brains of infected cows in the UK led to the spread of BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, or "Mad Cow Disease") among animal herds - and eventually humans.
There's just some parts of animals that are better left to the scavengers. |

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. I love liver and onions, and tongue is delicious too. |

I'm sure others have eaten more (types/amounts) than me, but here's my observations.
Liver (deer, cow) just tastes nasty. I don't care how many onions/peppers get fried with it. Kidney (pig) has a bitter taste, even when soaked in salt water overnight twice (water changed the next day). Brains (pig) is nasty even when stirred up in fresh eggs. As a kid I had this thing for chicken livers/hearts rolled in flour and deep fried. I can remember my mom fixing them for me and me asking for more. A few years ago I was talking about that to my wife, so she bought some chicken livers at the store. Damn, my tastes have changed I guess. They were nasty. I don't need that stuff anymore. I'm not that hungry. |

The Argentines say we throw away the best parts of the animal. http://i2.wp.com/anatravels.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/argentinean-achuras.jpg And I agree! its often the case that many of these organs are more expensive than the actual beef becuase properly cooked they are in fact a delicacy. A cow has lots of meat around but only so much sweetbreats, kidneys, etc. |

The organ meats can be higher in cholesterol which is one turnoff for me. My late father, who grew up in upstate New York during the Great Depression, would eat organ meat as that is what they had back then and he had a taste for it. Frankly I did not like the taste but he would eat heart, liver, intestines, gizzard and whatever else.

I think part of it is because many of these foods use to be cheaper, so they became associated with "poor folk food". Thus many of these foods have a stigma attached to them - even though some (many?) of them are actually more expensive than actual meat these days.

Bet many here that cringe at the idea of eating organs you can actually ID wouldnt hesitste to eat a nice hotdog. They are just as clueless about the food they eat as millennials against hunting but in favor of getting your meat from Styrofoam trays at Wal-Mart. |

Eating it hinges on the levels of starvation you've experienced.
Drove home out out of the woods one morning after a coon hunt with my uncle. Late 70s. We took a detour through "The Quarters" in town. Uncle asked me to grab the possum he'd killed. Unc drove through with the criiter hanging out of the window. We did not make it three blocks and an old black man flagged him down, negotiated and took the possum for $2. I tell Unc: "I can't believe he bought that nasty damn thing!" He gave me a hard look and this: "That old man lived through the Depression and you didn't cull any food that came your way in those days. Plus, if it's cooked right, it's good." I told him I'd rather starve. At our family reunion a while later he asked me how I like that BBQ sammich he'd served me from his grill. Yes, he did. :) It actually was tasty. |
