It fascinates me what people will and won't eat. I watched a programme on C5 last night about new product launches in Tesco and they had some contestants go out with their own product and try it out on the public to see if they like it.

One was a meatball in gravy dish to go in the ready-meal section only it was a faggot rather than a meatball so made with liver and heart. It was interesting because the public were really enjoying the samples and using words like delicious, really tasty, fantastic etc but when the ingredients were revealed they said they would definitely not buy the product with heart in it and many looked very pale and queasy. It wasn't just the girls, in fact the men went greener and there wasn't one brave 'I'll eat anything' warrior. This was pure product as well, not abattoir scrapings like lips and eyeballs and ground up knuckle like you get in sausages.

This is the interesting bit. In my opinion liver and kidney are funny tasting parts of the animal and the texture is a bit odd, but heart is just another tasty bit of meat. A little tough if not cooked properly but it's hardly something to be sqeamish about since it's just a muscle. Why was it fine for there to be liver in there but not heart?

I have to admit I don't eat tripe, brain or testicles regularly but on the other hand I haven't had either before - they just don't appeal. I'm sure they are very tasty if prepared properly and I'm open to try them just in case.

What parts of the animal won't you eat and why?
 
I'll eat anything on the burcher's slab tbh.

Any cut of meat and any organ proffered for consumption. Bulls testes sliced wafer thin and flash-fried with lemon and pepper = win.

Anus? That's skin, not meat.

Ill eat most parts.

As a last resort ill probably have a go nat Udder, Doodles and anus :p
 
My general philosophy when it comes to food is to try anything. When I eat out I try to find something on the menu that I've never had before. The only problem being you have to go to the more expensive resturants to find the more unusual foods. I like kidney, tongue, and I tried liver pate last week but wasnt that impressed by it, but then I'm not a pate fan. Oh and I'm also the inventor of the sausage and jam sandwich.

PK!
 
I don't know why, but I don't eat brain, tongue, heart, liver, kidney, testes etc...

For some reason it just doesn't feel right with me, I'd eat it if I had to - but I prefer just lean cuts of meat. Fillet steak over anything listed here.

For some reason I don't really enjoy eating off the bone either. I prefer something I can just eat all of. Chicken legs or wings are too much hassle, I'd rather just eat the whole damn thing. Same with ribs. They're tasty, but when I'm hungry I don't want to leave a thing on my plate.
 
I'll eat pretty much any bit of an animal except its head and private bits. Haggis, faggots and black pudding are some my favourite foods. Rare to find a proper faggot these days though, a lot of them have been 'sanitized' in response to ill-informed public opinion.
