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

The guy in the show had a good 3 pounds of just meat for the meal..
That and there isn't a good Chinese restaurant out here that serves that sorta stuff, just take out places, a sushi place near my dad's work but that's really far and a pretty decent close to traditional Chinese food place an hour away.
Mongolian BBQ is pretty great but they don't serve organ meats either .-.

As an American, I'm offended that you guys think there's something we wouldn't eat. Americans are fat, lololol. Don't sugar coat it, they'd eat that, too.

In all seriousness, I've eaten most animal parts. I'm not a super big fan of offal, but it has uses.

I don't like eating organs from the intestine down.  Its basically the bodies sewage system.  Stomach is alright.

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

I'm confused, isn't "offal" literally a synonym for "garbage"?

[Arx]

Offal is generally used as a term for the organ meat directly related to digestion, IIRC.


Butternut, carrot and sweet potato boiled with thyme and salt and then buttered tastes way better than I expected for the effort investment. Score.

[GiglameshDespair]

Yeah, offal is just the organ meat.

[Bohandas]

Merriam Webster defines it as

1 the waste product of a process

2 rubbish

I usually call it Tripe.    Its edible offal.   

Edit:  Wait, according to Wikipedia I'm wrong.   Tripe is only the stomachs I guess.

Oh you guys are talking about tripe... Now I understands

Tripe is just the stomach lining. (Yak! Dog food!) Offal includes a ton of other parts, like liver, kidney, heart, tongue, reproductive organs, and everything else that isn't plain muscle tissue, and some that is, like the feet or jaw.

Tongue isn't too bad. Ox tongue tends to be rather jelly-like in consistency, but that's usually after it's been stewed down.

Liver/lungs is pretty damn tasty when made properly. Tho I'm not entirely sure which is which because around these parts they're called black/white liver for some reason.

Today I had to use refried beans instead of kidney beans in my chicken taco recipe.

Turned out great!
