We're on a kick of "trying everything once." And Mom gets mad when we throw out edible parts. So we fried up some liver and grilled kidneys, heart and testicles. I'd have bet against it, but the testicles were pretty darn good. Tried some different marinades: terriyaki; garlic, onions, salt, olive oil; a pineapple, honey and cayenne mix. Terriyaki heart was the most popular. Did the liver based on a recipe posted here. Turned out pretty good though a few pieces could have used a little more time in the pan. Seems like there's a narrow window to getting them right. Ella

Like liver, hearts ok, ate kidneys out of puddin pot and liked, testicles would like to try. Used to eat fried brains and pickled tongue. The tongue is great, brains ok. Can you tell I grew up on and around Pa Dutch and Eastern Eastern decent farmers?

Good on you, thanks for sharing.
But just looking at the skewer snaking through those nards makes me wince a bit...

I like heart and tongue, but liver tastes like liver. Never tried kidneys or nuts.
If you love someone set them free If they come back no one else liked them Set them free again

The kidneys didn't taste like piss which was my worry. But they weren't a favorite. I had fried lamb's brains once. It was pretty good. We've got the tongue planned for Sunday. Anybody got a recipe?

I don't mind trying something new but that's organ overload right there.

For the most part, offal is best described by its homophone.

When I think of offal, It brings to mind the stench of it being cooked down at the local packing plant.
When you mention heart, liver and tongue etc, I think of delicacies that I hardly ever get a chance to eat.
There's a difference.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

back in the depression, and even when I was growing up poor, in the deep South, my family ate that chit. I don't have to now, and dammit, I don't.

you have to experience a proper pig killing. I have never tried chitlins, they are not done in my area, we used the intestines for sausage, but hog maw wasnt bad. my great aunt would make us crack the skulls to get her the brains of whatever we had killed.

The title reminded me of something. All the meals i prepare are Uber. At dinner, I'd ask my kids if it was good, did they like it? They would almost always say it was awful. AWFUL GOOD, Dad!!!

Mannlicher, In the same spirit, a few weekends back we had racoon and collards. It turned out pretty edible, but one guest commented it smelled like poverty in the south in the house, which wasn't all bad....
I think next time, I'm going to try a pie with kidneys if Ms. Lynn posts a recipe.

Sounds like the smell of poverty suits some folk.

Tongue- I love it.
The Mexicans in the kitchen would blanch and peel it. Then braise it with onions and assorted spices. Salt, pepper, oregano, etc....
