I think I'm with you on the organ meats. I do remember loving some nice fresh liverwurst as a kid though. I had a pair of real nice high end free range organic fed chickens a month ago and I used the heart, gizzard and livers in my roux thickened giblet gravy...which came out absolutely killer. I cooked the gibs real nicely in a skillet and then braised them in chicken liquid. We tried the liver, which looked like a nice piece of mushroom at this point, but had this weird texture like old sun-baked seat cushion foam from a boat. It had a VERY distinct flavor, which I could totally see some people loving. It was definitely a nice fresh chicken liver from a good quality bird. I might have overcooked it as far as someone who likes liver would say...but it worked great for my gravy as it basically just mushed down into the liquid before I strained it. I did enjoy the heart, but that's not even true organ meat in my book...we talkin about the luxury cuts...the lungs and testicles and brains and shit. The real dark meats that separate the men from the boys. Hahaha.

If that's all I had to eat I would use it as fishing bait, or build a trap to score something a little less organs. Fish are the easiest animal to reliably catch in most situations though, so that's a decent bet.

Gotta try it though....you only live once, and it's right there. Worst case you can always spit it.

What y'all think of some crazy east Asian stuff? Balut, durian, jackfruit, those thousand year old eggs? They are into some pretty wild stuff.

And a fucking gorgeous thousand year egg for my man Frank. Look at that presentation bro, bet they didn't show how to make that in school. They almost look like figs...feel free to have as many as you'd like.

Ultra exotic blend of cheese, milk, garlic and angel hair pasta with some leftover rosemary and thyme and some kind of flamed luxury cuts that most certainly originated in Africa or Cleveland or some other place that's not here. Super exotic night.
 
The other night we ended up cooking a few pounds of bacon on the griddle and I didn't think it was gonna be enough so
tossed on 10 burgers to compliment it. Some of the family had BLT's and some had Bacon Cheese Burgers. This was
a quick cook as the monsoon storms were all around us so I left my phone in the house. Then since I had to go help take
my Mom shopping yesterday as I'm booked again for surgery that I'll be down almost 2 months again for recovery. My wife
tossed in some chicken thighs in the instapot for the hour. Deboned and shredded the chicken. Strained the liquid to make
a green chillie gravy added chicken back to it with ripped small pieces of corn tortillas. Mixed that all together with cheese.
Put into a restaurant pan to bake for the hour. Now served as green chilie chicken tortilla casserole.
 
Think tonight I might be tossing on a few pork chops and not sure what they will come up for side dishes. I only got
about another 10 days that I can grill/griddle food for the family and then I'm at the mercy of whatever they cook.
 
Don't think I could do the Durian. I've smelled it at the the markets but never got one to taste.
Hahaha...I've never even seen one. They are so offensive, that a lot of places where durian can be had specifically won't allow you to open one up.

From what I've heard it's like super ripe cheese that's extra stinky with a super creamy texture like Greek yogurt. Not sure about you, but that's exactly what I look for in my fruit.

Ugghhhh…. You just know it tastes like pure death… :yoinks: I heard that fucking owl tried to figure out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a century egg, but gave up midway through to take up bulimia:rofl:
