Veering slightly off topic, but has anyone had chicken hearts?

I had them bbq'd on skewers a while back. Absolutely lovely. Dipsatched about 40 of the little delicious morsels.

The only offal I cannot get on with.

I ate it in Rome a few years back as it is a bit of a workers classic, and I am always up for trying new things. It was bloody awful.

My dad will eat practically anything, but tripe is about the only thing he won't eat.

Liver should be either grilled with oregano (or thyme) and lots of lemon juice, or gently fried in olive oil with a little bit of garlic and put out with red wine. Then you eat it with some pilau rice and yoghurt on the side.

Ewww god no liver...still sends shivers up and down my spine when i was young and my mom used to make curry from liver....absolutely disgusting but sadly my dad force fed the stuff...one time i threw up all over him...disgusting and hate the taste of liver :/

Kidneys are ok but again not something i particularly enjoy tbqh.

Honest question - are you allowed to eat all these bits and pieces? Is it on an animal by animal basis that the restrictions operate, or are there rules on which bits you can eat as well?

Well from cows, lambs/sheep and chicken we can eat the livers, hearts kidneys along with the other parts that are fit for human consumption.

Anything that isnt fit for human consumption as far as i know we dont eat but then everyone has different tastes...my dads family love eating soup made from a lambs hooves i think...cant remember the name of it but i never liked it when i was given it as a kid and its something that my mom never made...was always made by my dads mom.

Loads of weird and wonderful dishes from Pakistan and India.
