The combination of people moving away from the land and general lack of parents teaching home making skills has made living much more expensive. We buy a beef every year, and this year will be the first year it’ll average over $4.00. We started buying a pig last year as well, much cheaper than beef.
When food was a significant part of the household expenses, people used the liver, heart and kidneys. I’m not a fan of liver and onion, so I have the butcher grind the liver and add it to the ground beef at up to 15%. I’m not a fan of fried heart, but it certainly goes into the ground beef just fine. Essentially, it’s “free meat”, and the most nutritious part of the animal.
