animal organs - yuck. growing up, my family would be “gifted” deer meat including the liver. my Nana would prepare it and my parents made us all eat some. Chicken necks and insides, or turkey ones, cow tongue, (I could go on with more examples) all gross, yuck and double yuck!
LOL! I used to know an old farmer down on the Bay Hundred in Maryland who always carried around a dried beef tongue in his pocket to snack on, while he did his chores.
He offered me a taste once, but I just couldn’t get past the looks of it.
My husband, who likes a lot of those weird ‘innards’, balks at tongue: he always says that he just can’t eat something that can ‘taste him back’ :-)
I had to take head cheese sandwiches to school for lunch.
