I enjoy heart, liver, tongue and assorted other inner bits. A friend has eaten the heart of his deer for breakfast the morning after tagging the animal for the last 30 years. Cleaned, sliced thin and fried in butter. Served with eggs, hashbrowns, toast and coffee. Good stuff. I'd like to try moose liver some time, and was sorely tempted with mine, but the F&G specifically advises they are left due to high levels of contaminants/toxins that build up in them.

Does a still-beating heart of a giant bluefin tuna count?

My kid whacked a cow elk, called my wife for directions on cooking it. She told him "I don't know, we don't eat organ meat. Only one organ goes in my mouth."

When I worked at Wilson Foods, such items were termed "Meat Specialties".

You will never know how good something is until you try it. I have found very little that I do not like, and there have been very few things offered to me that I didn't at least try. Heart, liver, gizzards, etc. all good. The best liver I ever had was kudu, very good flavor. When I shot my caribou in the NWT, my guide cut up pieces of the liver and dipped them in the stomach contents mixed with blood. I had seconds, it's just food.

I am really fond of pork liver with young deer coming in second, then chicken livers. I do not care for beef and older deer livers but will eat them if I am where they are served. Tongue is good when prepared properly along with pig tails but they are rare now since most cut the tails off when the pig is very small. miles

Having thought about it more, I guess I eat lots of inner goodies. Foie gras, pate, fish roe, lobster roe, pig intestines fried, stewed and boiled (menudo, pho, etc)... Don't have any pics, but haggis and kidney pie also fit the bill...

Long live the organ eaters: they've got GUTS! Ba dum DUM! wink

I have eaten fried chicken gizzards and tried fried chicken hearts. If I never eat either again no big loss.

But the stuff ya'll eat, I gotta be REAL hungry.

turkey fries, calf balls, hog nuts, and liver of any kind are good.

Then there's the heaven on rye in a Katz's tongue sandwich, though I seem to recall it was a corned beef I opted for that day... wink

Steve,

How does Karen cook the gizzards in the crock pot? I always parboil them and then fry them. In the crockpot with gravy sounds tasty. People who don't eat offal are missing some good eating.

Absolutely love gizzards, any kind. Hint: never bite into a gizzard that hasn't been cleaned. I did that once, I had cut it open and scooped out the rocks and organic matter but didn't remove the membrane. I doubt [bleep] would taste any worse than that.

Love heart. When I was 19, living with a couple of roomies and doing the college thingy, I brought home my first Alaskan moose and boiled up the heart for us. It had become flyblown on the trip home and was actually crawling with maggots.

I scraped off all the unhatched eggs and washed off all the squirmy things and boiled it up. There are many nooks and crannies in a heart and maggots were in the various chambers and valves. They came out (mostly) during the boiling process and were discarded. I found a few more while slicing it up for sandwiches. The roomies never knew about the maggots and we all thought the heart was fantastic.

Hope none of 'em are reading this.
