The Cooking Thread…

Since I'm pretty much a whiz at cooking chicken livers now :unsure, I bought some chicken hearts that were right next to them at the grocery store. Only like $1.48, so why not.

Total no-go for me. Doesn't taste like anything and the texture is nasty. Any of you southerners eat these before?

Geng, you can skip this post.

Once. And my experience was very similar to yours. They were terrible.
 
I love chicken hearts and gizzards. Liver? Not so much. You can have those.


Just curious, tho... Why do you have to be southern to eat these?

I admit the older I get, the more I dislike crustaceans…a lot of seafood in general. The clams and oysters are iffy and it better be at the beach.

I have gotten food poisoning twice in the past five years. Both times from mussels.

Once was from a bag from Trader Joe’s and another time when I got them from a local Italian restaurant, who probably got their’s from the same place. Then, I do a little research. Turns out, many of the mussels we eat feed on the algae and if they come from the wrong farm and the wrong algae, that is what causes the sickness.

It's like Jim Gaffigan said about eating crab legs, "hey I like butter too."

A lot of these things seem to just be excuses to consume copious amounts of butter and seasonings. But if that's the case then you could just be eating anything it doesn't have to be bugs.
