Internal organs are far more nutritious than the mostly muscle meat which is usually consumed. It is virtually impossible to find a more complete food
than liver. This is why predatory animals such as cougars, wolves, lions, etc. always go for the internal organs first.

As a kid growing up in rural Minnesota, I loved Grandma's head cheese made from a pigs head. I saved all in eatable innards from poultry back when we had a game farm along with chickens and geese, and ground them all up together as a substitute for hamburger. I made meatballs from them and my kids didn't have a clue they weren't beef until one of the boys actually remembered what I was doing before I made supper and couldn't remember seeing me thaw out actual hamburger. I was surprised how much it actually did taste like ground beef. ____Dave

When we all sat elbow to elbow at my Grandma's table for Sunday dinner, I would as thoroughly as possible check out the fried chicken platter and the position of select pieces there on. I would get my fork ready for action (you better not get caught using just your fingers) and as soon as the "amen" was uttered (timing is everything) I would go for the "pulley bone" and the gizzard, my two favorite parts of the chicken. Pulley bone first because there was some competition for that piece. Gizzard next, hardly any competition. The neck and the scratchers were for those with patience and perseverance.

I've had several dishes made from the parts mentioned above but my tastes have changed considerably.
I don't care for any of the "oddities" in the least anymore.
I'm thankful I can choose chicken thighs or rib eyes. ::nod::

I am pretty much with you in this. I have eaten most of those things mentioned and I still relish a gizzard or liver (beef or chicken) but I haven't had head cheese or chittlins in a long time.
There was previously some mention about the amount of meat on a cow's head. The cowboys back home used to bury a head in the coals early in the morning and then dig it out for supper. Seems like they would wrap it in the hide of the calf or cow. It was considered a great delicacy, a treat.

A few years back the local Mexican restaurant got shut down for a while when the Health Dept. inspector discovered a cows head in the refrigerator. The workers explained it was for their personal use (and I don't doubt that) but it was a big violation of the rules and got them in some serious trouble with the Health Department.

When I was younger I ran a feedlot in Colorado. The guys used to give me a burrito everyday. Till one day I went down to the barn and they had cut a head off of one of the dead cows and had it on there grill. No more burritos from them for me.

There is a little taqueria around the corner from my office that has the following types of tacos:

Cabeza - beef head
Cachete - beef cheek
Lingua - beef tongue
Labio - beef lip
Ojo - beef eye
Tripas - beef intestines

They also have plain old beef, chicken & pork. Of the ones above, I've only had the beef cheek - it was very good, and tasted just like any other beef.

All I have to say on this topic is, y'all ain't seen nothing until you've spent some time in China. ::woot:: When working there I often ate lunch daily with some of the folks from our factory, at local restaurants nearby. My unspoken policy was if they eat it, I'll eat it.

Sometimes it was obvious what it was. Most meat including fish and chicken are prepared with the head intact - fish eyes for example are considered a delicacy. Occasionally I learned only later what I had eaten. Grilled sheep stomach is surprisingly good! Generally, I didn't care to know so I didn't ask. What I learned is, they waste nothing!

Ken,
Your post made me think of my old uncle. ::hmm:: Some one had asked him had he ever eaten fox and he replied, "It tastes a lot like dog." Sittin' here thinking about that also reminds me that a few years ago folks required a foot to be left on a dressed coon before they would buy one to eat, apparently they must taste like a house cat. :)

We went to Georgia for a grandson's 12th birthday last weekend. My wife had this picture on her phone of the young feller and the knives he got for his birthday:

I grew up with all rural relatives, although my family was suburban Birmingham.

I have eaten, as a youngster, some strange things, but as I became more and more medically educated, I got really tuned off to any of that.

Nutritional value aside, I just cannot eat anything whose sole purpose in life was the filtration of impurities from its host body.

Charlie, what would your dear old Grannie say if she found out you're turning up your nose at innards? Why she would spin like a top in her grave. :mrgreen:

Mine was a 1975 850T, bought new. Solid as a rock. Loved it.
