Never seen brains for sale here in Britland. Most organs aren't - hearts, kidneys and livers are sold, but tripe, brains, and the other various bits don't tend to appear on the shelves any more.

Yeah, even here in 'Murica you have to find a butcher for that sort of thing. Still, if you do, it's usually cheaper than grocery store meat, good-quality, and if you're into sausage-making you can pretty much just walk in and say, "I'd like the garbage parts of the animal, please." and it'll all be good. Helps reduce waste, too.

I would love to try heart or kidneys, I've heard they taste good... I don't know where a butcher is though nor do I think my mother would let me cook and eat that kind of stuff in the house .-.

[GiglameshDespair]

Hearts I make into stews. They taste like more organ-y meat, if that makes sense. They can be very tough if you cook them wrong, similiar to...

Liver and onions is damned good, though it's very easy to cook the liver into lumps of rubber. Avoid this and they're great.

Kidneys tend to be made into a pie. I've not seen anything that just has kidneys, though I don't see why you couldn't.

The increased difficulty of cooking and worst of all people being far too squeamish means they don't appear very often.

Bangers and Mash, nom nom nom. Caramilized onions are best onions.

Why, does she think they'll smell or something? If it's any consolation heart is just muscle and tastes/smells as such. It's a bit different to skeletal muscle but not hideously so. Kidneys I can't give the same confirmation for but chances are you'll be cooking them with a bunch of other stuff so won't create a huge odour problem.

Heart doesn't smell overly much - it's got a more richly iron smell to it than muscle does. Kidneys on the other hand have a very particular odour that slightly tangs. It's pretty awful.

As my late grandfather once said, you've gotta make sure you boil the piss out of them.

She doesn't like organs at all, probably just regular American squimishness. She also doesn't eat game meat.

I've seen the guy on bizarre foods go to one of those South American all you can eat meat restaurant things and his whole meal consisted of exotic (to Americans) meats such as just seasoned and cooked livers, hearts, kidneys, lungs, and just good all steaks and pig butts

[Bauglir]

Listen, find a good Asian restaurant and you can do much the same. Had some pig intestine just last week.

Hey. We Americans will eat that sort of thing. Just as long as it's in a hot dog like it should be, along with several other mystery meats, and various chemicals with inpronouncable manes.

[Sirus]

* Sirus points out that Americans come from a huge range of cultures, many of which have no problems with organ or bush meat, and that one's nationality doesn't really have anything to do with their tastes

* Sirus is promptly ignored in favor of more "hurr durr murrica" jokes

[Rose]

As somebody who's never eaten any part of an animal, y'all gross me out.

[Reudh]

For the most part, I won't touch offal. Texture and taste is too weird.

[Sheb]

I know a place where you can get kidney dürüm. It's pretty awesome.
