No brains, no tongue, no tail, no kidneys, no stomach...yuck!

my grandfather ate ALL of that.........brains look like grey scrambled eggs.......and I do make a mean pickled tongue (thanks to my Basque friends growing up).........don't eat any of it but I make some great pickled tongue................................raven

Raven, my great-grandparents (Cherokee great-grandfather) had a big farm and raised just about everything they ate, so they had that "use it all" style too. It was a blast, though sometimes unnerving, to visit them. Unfortunately, the meats, veggies, and fruits today aren't the same as they were then. I try to look to our local farmers for foods not as tainted, and it's good for the local economy, too.

I've heard pickled pigs feet is an acquired taste. I agree with you, Raven.

They're called pigs trotters in the U.K.

we were raised on our own food.........our own meat, veggies, eggs, milk, butter........the only thing grandma "store bought" was bread and "dry goods".........nothing was ever wasted.....watched grandma make blood sausage.....*barf*........it was also the reason I don't eat meat........old habits die hard.........I have a veggie garden and we grow our own produce........hubs is going to build me a chicken coop, we'll do our own eggs, now that they allow it in the city and even though I really hate chickens............don't like or trust processed foods...................................................raven

The hospital I worked in from the late 70's to the mid 80's offered liver and onions all the time in their cafeteria. Many employees ate it including me; although I liked it a lot better when it was piled high with onions. In fact, I was on a liver and onion kick for awhile and then started to read some negative things about consuming it. BTW....many websites say it is very nutritious.
