I can't wait till I'm no longer living at this school and eating their food and can actually have GOOD food for dinner again.
Preferably with lots of broccoli! |

ed up how? Making the most of every bit of an animal is a good thing, and until you've tried it (and forgotten that it's actually their organ) then you really don't know what you're missing. |

The liver is full of iron, you're right. Like lots of meat. Iron helps us play!
The liver, from what I understand though, is a filtering organ, which means it's quite full of a lot of other as well, at the same time as being full of iron :p |

| perhaps so but when you see how much stuff is in a lot of processed or preserved foods, or things like sweeteners in food, or what's added to sausages to fill them out etc, it's not 'that' bad imo. I just know it as being delicious, esp in the 3-prong attack with the smokiness of bacon and the sweetness of onion. It marries perfectly. |

"Not that bad" is still bad :p
And I know what's in processed food, which is why I try to eat as little of it as possible. |

my food equation is usually animal + vegetables = win. |

Mine would be full of booze if I had my way...
The predilection for eating offal is just nasty, I guess it depends where you grow up in England really. Some areas do, some don't, I'm glad I grew up where they where it wasn't exactly common, the odd thing is that quite a lot of them won't touch turnip or pumpkin- which is considered animal fodder in some places. I had to migrate before I could eat it :p
Tripe, fry, kidneys, liver, there just isn't a way to cook these damn things without them smelling BAD!
Tonight I made sweet and sour with pork, king prawns, red cabbage, broccoli, snow peas, carrots, capsicum and zucchini. With a bit of extra garlic and chilli for heat.
Its not exactly authentic chinese :D |

Yeah, I lived in England for 5 years and managed to avoid eating most every part of the mammal digestive tract that seems to be served there.
I do truly miss English milk, though. It just tastes so much better than most, like the cows there are happier. |
