Kidneys and liver are good. I hate tripe though.

>>12519116
Yup, I've eaten lung, liver, brain, and mom even cooked up some tendons one time but tripe is over the line for me for some reason.

No. It's cheap as fuck but I don't need to pinch pennies enough to justify cooking with them.

quiet partial towards offal meat. love me some motsunabe, tripas tacos, pork brain and eggs.

who here /pizzle/

>>12519135

You've tasted your mom, too. Haven't you?

>why eat offal when you can eat the good cuts?
because variety is good. it makes life interesting.

>it tastes bad!
you're cooking it wrong

>>12518626
Don't worry, buddy.
Everyone will start loving it soon ;)

>>12518626
Thinking of doing menudo or trippa alla romana sometime, though I have never had tripe before. I'd be disappointed if I ended up not liking it, but I've heard things about the texture of it which make me skeptical as to whether or not I'll like it.

>>12518626
I love cooking with offals, it's always a fun challange that leads to unique recipes.

>>12519147
Youre right scared us the wrong term. I guess I mean the public seems disgusted by it.

You megafags need tripe soup in your lives.

Liver is the most nutritious food of all time.

>>12519135
pork tendon in Pho is great

I had a job one time cooking pie fillings in a factory for a small chain in England. I used to frequently cook liver and kidneys. They love it here. Brawn isn't Offel but it's not something Americans eat (as far as I know) and I used to cook that every week too

>>12518626
Association to body parts

If you say like NY Striploin, people dont' associate it to a body part but if you say Beef Heart, people associate it

That's my theory of course. I think wings and chicken feet suffer from the same but wings got a huge boost in the last 30 years

>>12520286
Yeah liver and kidney is relatively popular here in the UK, but things like tripe or hearts aren't so commonly consumed by comparison.

>>12518905
I get it

Too much work for mediocre taste

>>12518626
it's really bad when prepared improperly, worse than badly cooked meat. some people also had to eat it when they were poor as kids and don't like it because of that.

i don't really like eating big pieces of it plain, which is also probably what some other people don't like. but i like liverwurst. or chopping up all the organs that come with a whole chicken, mixing it up, seasoning, breading, and frying then eating with some mustard.

>>12520298
Blood sausage too.
Is blood offal?

>>12520297
That's true and I guess there isn't as much of a struggle for food in the US

>>12520297
people are okay with chicken breasts and thighs though, and pork shoulder

>>12518626
Because
a) it is harder (or people don't know how) to prepare than the classic muscles
b) taboo - seen as the food of the poor and strange euros
c) a painful reminder that what you are eating was once a living, breathing thing
I fucking love offal, and am making a terrine with brains, sweetbreads, tripe, and livers this weekend
ought to be nice

>>12522531
Try doing an oc with your offal then instead of hovering with pretentious comments. A guy did a thread cooking a lambs head that was one of the best.

>>12519243
>He's never tasted of the forbidden fruit

>>12518626
Mostly because not many people know how to cook it well so even if they have eaten it before it was probably a poor experience.

>>12520054
menudo, like Pozole, is entirely dependent on your spice blend you use for it and even more dependant on the quality of the chili paste you use if you're making a colored variety (typically red or green) if one of those suck then your whole batch will suck. I prefer pozole though since it's heartier, also if you do make menudo Don't forget to serve it with thinly sliced cabbage, thinly sliced radishes, chopped green onion, cilantro, lime or lemon wedges and maybe hot sauce or extra chili if you want.

>>12518626
is tongue considered offal? tongue pretty good

>>12520298
Yeah I'm from the UK and enjoy some liver and onions or steak and kidney pie.

Mostly it comes down to perception, if you didn't tell people what exactly what they were eating, I'm sure they'd enjoy it. Some chefs have tried to make it more trendy.

>>12518626
*giggles* Because *pfft* th-they're *snickers* aw-
>>12518905
Fuck

>>12518626
Anyone have experience ordering offal online? I really want to try some but none of the butchers in my area carry it.

True scary liver story. I'd been eating dehydrated beef liver every day for about a month. 200g a day. I stopped because my teeth started to hurt. Pain similar to cold shock from eating super cold ice cream. After a week of no liver, the symptoms went away to my relief. Liver contains a ton of certain vitamins and other nutrients which I believe I was overdosing on, and this led to an imbalance, causing my teeth to hurt like fuck and possibly other undetectable effects. Everything in moderation. Tomorrow I will reintroduce beef liver into my diet, but I will take it easy, see how it goes.

The Florentines have a tripe sandwich called lampredotto, so called because apparently they think the (fourth) cow stomach looks like a lamprey. They braise the tripe in stock and it is the most delicate and lightly beefy meat I've tasted. It was pillowy and delicious but because of how much of a hassle it is to make and how impossible it is to find outside Florence, let alone Italy, I'll likely only have it a few more times in my life if I'm lucky.

>>12518626
Shhhh, don't say anything.

>>12518626
Easy to overcook it to inedible territory and dangerous to undercook it

>>12524534
Vitamin A poisoning, lets hope you didnt BTFO any organs

I won't eat brains because I'm scared of prions.

>>12518626
The normalisation of pristine processed foods that are very disconnected from the original fresh source. I find Americans are way more aversed to offal than Europeans for this reason.

>>12518626
try liver and lights
shit is damn good if you can get it.

Will beef heart steak work well with blue cheese and cream sauce? What's your opinion /ck/?

>>12523021
I like canned menudo

Where I live only liver, maybe chicken gizzard and heart is easily available. I love stuff like trippa and kidney but then I need to make an expensive order at the butcher.

>>12526171
eh, try it
i used to get some decent beef heart slices and pan fry them. it was ok but i was shit at cooking back then too.

>>12522093
Spleen has then flavor of blood sausage but has a slightly more chewy and firm texture. It’s more like a blood sausage without the processing in a way i guess

>>12519135
