What is the best tasting offal / organ meat?

[Anonymous No.18131712]

Everything is fine except liver

[Anonymous No.18131716]

tripe is pretty good tbqh

[Anonymous No.18131725]

>>18131712
Kidneys are worse. You can cook liver in ways where it's actually good but the best you can do with kidney is make it tolerable.

>>18131707
Some people consider oxtail to be offal, so that. If you, like me, don't consider oxtail offal, then tripe, if properly prepared, is nice.
Some people (not me) consider tongue to be offal, so if you draw the line at oxtail, than tongue would likely be the best tasting.

Chicken hearts!

Everything except kidney which is a pain in the ass to clean and if you're not thorough will taste like stale piss.

Liver and heart are great for kabobs with a simple marinade of chili, cumin, and lime.

I'm going to have to go with chicken hearts and cow tounge, cooked seperately.
A Brasilian friend turned me onto the chicken heart skewers, then there's big ol American cow tounges.

I agree, but others consider them offal for some reason. And don't call me Shirley, pal.

Personally I absolutely love liver. Might be because I'm norwegian, and used to the taste since birth because of leverpostei. Then again, I know a lot of people who can't stand the taste, exactly because it reminds them of leverpostei.

Thank you anons!

[Anonymous No.18132168]

it depends on where you get them from. if you buy offal from the dollar store, it will taste like shit. if you buy it from a grocery store, it will taste like shit. if you buy it from a farmer, it will probably taste great.
i buy liver from a lady in a trailer on her farm and it tastes extremely sweet and tender, much better than any other offal, tongue, brain, and sweetbread included.

Tongue, liver, heart (when cooked well) and brains are good. I'll eat everything else, but I won't love it

>>18132650
Your best bet is finding a local lamb farmer. A fancier butcher may have them. They're very good and definitely worth seeking out. Preparing them well is a little tedious tho. Tender, juicy, with a very mild liver flavor.

animals usually go for organs first, they instinctively know that it is healthier. Before we even became humans we were eating organs.
And when you are hungry in the wilderness and your tribe has finally gotten a kill, there will be incentive to make the most of the animal as possible. So they would have eaten the eyes, nose, tongue, oesophagus, lungs, heart, stomach, everything except the gut contents/shit.

Depends on the liver. Chicken liver straight up can be deep fried and taste godly. All other livers need to be turned into liverwurst to taste good.

Does anybody knows about good resources on cooking offal? Is Offal Good worth getting?

[Anonymous No.18135896]

I don't have it but it looks like a good cook book.
If you haven't cooked offal before then poached pork heart is not that strong tasting. Fried chicken liver with onions is nice. Pork liver has a stronger taste than chicken or beef. I haven't had brains but they are creamy and buttery. Bone marrow is amazing.

There are soft muscles that are easy to get to. To get to organs you need to go through tough muscles. There's a reason why organs are protected by bone and muscle.
