I'll give this a bump...
"With all that good muscle meat on an animal, why eat the guts?" That's what I say. :yes:
If it's ground up in a sausage, I'll eat it, but please don't tell me it's in there.
Gizzards? There is no way that big rubber clam inside that bird is something eatable!
I know how to clean and process them, but YOU can eat it. Not for me!
My wife, on the other hand, takes the bag out of the body cavity of every store bought bird that sees our kitchen, and cooks the contents in a little olive oil. "Turkey guts" (my label) is her traditional Thanksgiving morning breakfast, as a matter of fact.
Home grown chickens and rabbits?... If we give one away, the guts are never included. Even if they are requested.
I guess, after reading this thread, I MIGHT have to taste a rabbit liver... Maybe just a tiny, little bite. :hmm:
