Not quite the same (cf liver).

Do you like gizzards (no! not deer's gizzards!)? They're nice if you can get

enough for a dish (and they're prepared properly!).

I'm impressed, the perception from over here ----> is that Americans won't

eat any meat unless it's some sort of well-known bovine muscle fibre. Mind

you, in the UK I guess that many people don't even know what a gizzard

*is* (let alone how tasty these and other bits'n'pieces can be)!

I've been eating gizzards my whole life. My Grandmother turned me onto them when I was just a tyke.

:p No, I do not like gizzards and hearts and stuff.

Do not like menudo, made with tripe either.

Ghads, I think I will have a salad for dinner.........................

Oh, they do cook that too.

Never learned to eat squid and eel either.

I am a picky eater.

Tongue is supposed to be a delicacy. It's a bit like ham, with a slightly different

texture, and deeper colour. It's got a bit of resilience "in the bite". Eel is nice,

barbecued even - it's just a long fish! Squid? The tentacles are nicest, IMO,

but I don't think it's fair to eat these (see "shellfish"). I also am a picky eater.

:wah:

Yes, it is considered a delicacy. But it gives me the shivers, as did the menudo with the tripe.

I think I will not eat innards anymore, because I had to eat liver for each pregnancy-it was that or iron shots a couple times a week. I would broil it, cut it into cubes, and just swallow it with skim milk. Never ate much the rest of the day. Never gained a pound after each baby was here, and had 4 of the healthiest kids ever. I do think it has alot to with it. But I can't stand to eat that stuff again!

The thing with tongue is, I dont like eating anything that can taste me back.

I am quite surprised at that. It is not recommended to eat liver during

pregnancy (or cod liver oil, etc.) due to concerns about the pernicious

effects of too much vitamin A.



chonsigirl;537470 wrote: I would broil it, cut it into cubes, and just swallow it with skim milk.


Eurgh! How horrid! Ah, broil, is that "boil", or "grill"? Selected liver rolled in

flour and freshly-milled pepper, fried hot'n'quick, is nice IMO.

mate thats why i stopped eating sausages , i saw a programme that said they were made of pigs cheeks and eyes , i started thinking they were watching me chew on them it kinda put me off , for a sceintific experiment purpose only next time you eat one imagine it watching you eat it and see if it puts you off too

I have no idea!!!

Cheek, possibly. Eye, not. Lots of fat and "fillers" in cheap bangers, undoubtably,

they've got to get rid of fat somewhere in these health-concious but unhealthy

days, and that's where some of it goes.

Oh I am not a great fan of liver or kidneys now I must say, but I do like sausages a lot, but you have to buy quality ones though those cheaper ones are orrible, urrgghhh. I quite like Tesco's pork and leek with back pepper ones, I am sure they do have many stranger sections of the pig in them, but they taste lovely! Yummy. If you go into any good butcher in Ireland, or in Britain, you can get lovely home made sausages, do em on a pan with gravy and onions, yum.

couldnt agree more galbally, i dont eat sausages now myself but df loves them BUT will only eat top quality ones, the pork & leek are good but so are the granny smith apple & pork

Oh they sound nice, there are lots of interesting ones, garlic and herb, red pepper ones, theres loads to things you can put in em, traditional ones like Cumberland are lovely as well if you get quality ones, Germans, they do good sausages as well, sausages and beer, very nice.

Aaahh, German sausage, german beer, Belgian chip.......................Heaven.

I've never had the chance to try a faggot,

but after reading the wikipedia entry for them, I have to say, that I'm not very keen on trying anything involving intestines...I don't like the bloody taste to them.

and I'm making sausages for dinner tonight. thanks guys. :yh_sick

although I do know that next time I'm in Kansas I'm going to have deer hearts and beer with my friend Hannibal....er, I mean YZGI! :wah:

I would probably try them...

I'm just saying,..I probably won't like them...I can't stand liver, so if they taste anything like that, I won't even try them.

No faggots are nice, I hate liver as well and they taste nothing like liver or kidneys either, which are orrible!

But the snails, well they taste like well, like snails, with garlic in em, not my thing, and I don't care what anyone says, they look like a fried snot, I am not eating em anymore.

I tried escargot with garlic sauce in a pub in Calais....wasn't bad.....I probably would never have any again but it's cool to try everything!

pompom;538610 wrote: As far as I know faggots don't have intestines as an essential ingredient. Traditionally they are wrapped in caul fat but you could leave that out, it's not a part of the flavour. I'm pretty sure the commercially made ones don't use it. Galbally is right - they don't taste of liver, they just have a generally very savoury flavour - which is very moreish!


Oh, well I looked them up on wikipedia and this is what it said -

From Wikipedia -

Faggot

A faggot is a kind of meatball, a traditional dish in the UK, especially the southwest of England, Wales, and the Black Country. It is made from unwanted meat off-cuts and offal, especially pork. A faggot is traditionally made from pig heart, liver and fatty belly meat or bacon minced together, with herbs added for flavouring and sometimes breadcrumbs. The mixture is shaped in the hand into balls, wrapped round with "caul" (a membrane from the pig's abdomen), and baked.

Perhaps you could use this thread as a dieting tool for people. Whenever they want to eat, make them read it. It will curb the appetite in no time and possiby cause projectile vomiting. It's about all you need to hear to become bulemic. :-2

Caul fat is useful for roasting various things. You can do somewhat of the same

thing with aluminium foil on/off, but it's not the same.
