is not a sandwich

I had no idea skirt steak was considered organ meat, huh. I'd like to try tongue at some point, but heart just seems a little too "organ" for my tastes.

I did try haggis once and it was hideous. Tasted like spoiled hamburger. Didn't really give me much faith in trying other organ-based food.

Pan fried liver is really good, if you like a funky vaguely metallic taste.

If you soak livers in milk over night, it pulls all of those nasty metallic flavors out.

Sure, but I actually like them, so that would be counterproductive, and also a lot of extra work.

You do not have to be good. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
Tongue is amazing. If you live anywhere that has taco trucks, you can ask for lengua and they'll usually hand you a taco full of melting, decadent, slow-cooked tongue with cabbage, salsa, and white crumbly cheese. Butchers can also hook you up, although that means cooking it at home, and I DO NOT SUGGEST boiling the tongue as so many online recipes insist.

Skirt steak is the loving food of the gods. Liver is pretty drat good if you soak it in milk or something to leach out some of the weird flavors before you cook it, and don't overcook it into foul gross paste. I've never had it made right in any restaurant that wasn't either frying up chicken livers in the back of a gas station or serving their entrees on delicate china with a white tablecloth.

It requires you to plan out your meal overnight, use dishes for milk soaking, buy milk, have extra milk left over, etc. My way, I just eat it and like it, no milk required.

Oh hey, liver and tripe discussion. Perfect!

So, i love the smell of liver and onions while it's cooking, going waaaay back to childhood. Hell, just thinking about the smell right now makes me strangely happy.
Can't loving stand the taste of it, i absolutely cannot eat the stuff.



As a kid i went through a pretty long picky phase; nothing too extreme i just didn't like onions, or spicy stuff, or anything "gross" (like liver and onions), not unlike a lot of kids i suppose. Anyway, my Grandma used to make this fantastic soup: red broth, kinda spicy, full of onions and hominy and some sort of meat and it was just about the best thing ever despite the fact that it was full of things i supposedly didn't like.

For the longest time i didn't even know what it was called, just that it was the best. Eventually, i learned that it was menudo, and then shortly thereafter i learned that the meat in it was beef stomach tripe.

I think i stopped eating, looked at the bowl for a second and then shrugged and dug back in because this stuff was Good.



A similar thing happened when me and a bunch of cousins were running around and decided to peek under a strangely shaped plastic bag and discovered a pig's head. Turns out that roasted pork head meat was a key ingredient in her traditional tamales. We all collectively went "ewwwww!" and then proceeded to eat a metric ton of the things the next trip over. :v:

Yeah I didn't know that about skirt either! That's neat.
I am a lover of all organ meats- brains! Livers! Kidneys! Sweetbreads!- but heart is actually my favorite. Since it's all muscle, it just tastes more meaty than meat. I think you'd be into it.
But, shamefully, the only organs I don't like are tongue and tripe. It's a texture thing. Something about the structure of lengua reminds me uncomfortably of my own tongue, which is engaged in tearing up this other animal's tongue. It's just yucky for some reason.


Also, organs reminded me, we had veal sweetbreads on the menu at a restaurant I worked at. One lady saw a plate of focaccia go to a nearby table and asked if that was the veal sweetbread, and if so, how did we get the veal in the bread?

So in like three weeks I'm going to have an entire human placenta and no idea how to cook it. Did we ever find a decent recipe for placenta (I'm assuming it's kinda like liver), or is it all overcooked placenta-on-spaghetti-bolognese like somebody trying to prepare cheap ribeye for Donald Trump?

YES oh god they have heart and "special heart" at yakitori places around here and I dunno what's special about it but it's goddamn amazing. Sells out fast too, so you gotta get there early in the evening if you want any.

Adding to the liver/placenta chat, I watched the OB pull the placenta out of my wife after the birth of my son. I was not grossed out at all, and remarked, "Hmm. That looks like liver to me." To which he replied, "WHAT!? No, no, it's not as good." I got a little horrified at that point, but the feeling passed as I was engrossed with my kid. Well, it did look like liver to me, dammit! Christ, he tried one?

I was thinking I'd milk-leach it like liver after removing the membrane, then sear it on cast-iron and rest it au poivre. Then I could serve it on polenta with herbs, charred leeks, and some kind of dark fruit compote on the side. A little red wine-- okay, a lot of red wine-- and why not breast milk panna cotta for dessert?

For the full cannibal experience, just hold it in your hands and rip chunks out of it with your teeth while it's still bloody and raw.
