Organ meats.

Liver & onions is lovely if prepared properly. Tough as shoe leather if it isn't!

Deviled kidneys are nice, too.

Do brains count as offal? I had them once but found them a bit slimy.

Deviled kidneys are ace as an occasional breakfast. Are you sure you never served at sea?

Is liver still really cheap?
Always used to be.
Was never sure why as I think it's supposed to be pretty good for you.
The appearance/associations I suppose?
which is maybe why I haven't had any in years - used to have it a fair bit as a student.

Can someone remind me of the heirarchy of good liver?
seem to remember that lambs was seen as better than many?

The nickname strainers may help.

I love a bit of liver or kidney.

Calves' is absolutely delicious but costs a fortune. I like kidneys too, especially chicken ones.

Yep the price of calves liver pisses me off. Have it once every few months though.

Never cooked offal

but I like teak and kidney pie - better than just steak
and if liver and onions in on in a pub/restaurant that I know it is a serious option

I really should try to cook it myself - apart from anything else I could add more onions - and more onions is always good!!

tripe - from what I hear and read - waste of time and effort
heart - seems like it is just a muscle and if cooked well it is great
then there is 'sweetmeats' which is - I think - pancreas????? - apparently wonderful if cooked properly - never tried it

Are any of you liking this offal under 60 ?

Liver and onion is a combination found all over the world. I like the Ventian version Fegato alla veneziana.

All this talk of gross meat, might turn this meat eater veggie.

Sweetbreads, not sweetmeats - the thymus and (often) pancreas of lambs or calves. English lamb sweetbreads in late spring are utterly delicious.

Probably should edit my previous post

but the idea of teak and kidney pie is better left for comedy value

You're not wrong though, teak is tastier than steak.

Bloody meat eaters pushing their weird eating habits down everyone's throats. Do you lot ever shut up about meat?

Liver, like steak is best when cooked rare at most😋
