There are several parts of an animal I will not eat. Tong, liver, brains, nuts, gizzard. Now my wife bought a package of turkey butts. I guess it's eat that part of a turkey I have never tried, or go hungry. Stan
 
I would and have eaten all that! My grandma would make me cold pickled tongue sandwiches with mustard when I was very young. But I can see why people would not eat any of it.
 
I've eaten all those things, but have not had brains in about 50 years or so. My dad used to like it and would cook it with eggs for breakfast. I'm not sure but I think they were pork brains. I love tongue. One of the best cuts there is in my opinion. I've had beef, buffalo, white tail and lamb tongue! I have a couple lamb tongues in the freezer now.

Had rabbit livers and hearts for lunch today.

Even though I've butchered many, I'm not sure what is meant by a turkey butt.
 
Cold tongue sandwich is one of my favorites.

If you need the recipie on how to cook kidneys, just let me know......

I can't say with all certainty but I believe if you have ever eaten a hot dog you have likely eaten all of them.

one of my Aunt's had a excellent recipe for beef kidneys, another of my Aunts new how to prepare beef heart, both where very good recipes.

My mom would pressure cook beef tongue and then grind it and mix in pickle relish and mayo for a sandwich spread, that was also very good.
 
And if you've ever eaten hot dogs (not to mention many kinds of sausage, kielbasa, bologna, etc. etc. you've already eaten most or all of them....
Like liver occasionally, like pickled heart and tongue, and have eaten all of them at various times. Can still see my grandmother skinning out the cow's tongue from our annual butchering!
 
All I can say is If you were really hungry you would be happy to eat all. I have eaten most of those we did not have a lot of money and you ate what your mother cooked or you did not eat. Randy
 
When Marilyn and I were young married I brought in and cleaned a fresh batch of pork mountain oysters for her to fix for supper. Well she fixed them alright and was gobbling them up as fast as they came out of the frying pan. LOL She said when she was at home they would mix them with scrambled eggs for breakfast. I prefered beef oysters over pork but beggars can't be choosy. Marilyn used to fix the best liver and onions. I don't know what she did to keep it moist but she really had the touch. We used to eat beef tongue sliced for sandwiches but that was long ago. I ate brains in Finland and it was good. I didn't know it was brains till later because I didn't understand the menu.

Today I wouldn't go across the street to eat any of that stuff but I don't have any bad memories from when I did eat it.
 
According to a Youtube video (so it has to be true) turkey butts is an "ol' folks soul food" dish.

Can be eaten as a meal, but more commonly used as a flavoring for vegetable dishes like polk salad or collard greens.
 
Man walks into a diner, asks the cook what's on the lunch menu.

"Pickled tongue."

"Oh I don't think I could eat anything that came out of somethings mouth. I'll just have an omelet."
 
My Dad was the oldest of 10 kids raised in the Depression. He said when His Dad would shoot squirrels, He never shot them in the head. He like to eat the squirrel brains, he said he would crack them open with a nut cracker after they were cooked and eat the brains. Dad always tried to shoot them in the head, so I guess he didn't care for the brains. When we were kids and went to Grandma and Grandpa Koehler's, Aunt Dell would fix fried chicken. Grandad would not eat chicken, he said he ate enough chicken in the Depression that he would ever eat it again.
 
Many years ago when I was in jr. High (early 1960s) the cafeteria menu was printed and posted in the classrooms for all to read.
The secretary made a typo and typed out 'veal lips' instead of veal tips for Wednesday's menu.
Wednesday came around and very few ate in the cafeteria. Everyone brought their lunch.
I rarely ate in the cafeteria anyways, I came with my usual scrambled eggs on homemade bread sandwiches.
 
My all time food that I will not eat is ketchup. YUK!!

Kidney is a close second. Last time I passed by somebody cooking kidney, it smelled like the urinals in the bus station. >GAG<
 
Beef heart gravy and dumplings that mom made. Ah that was good times. Cubed up the heart very small, boiled it in a flour gravy, a wierd scum formed you took off, boiled some more, it came out a grey bland looking lumpy deal.

Laddle over hard potato dumplings, and man that was good.

We had hog brains a few times, but some reason we weren’t supposed to any more. I was mighty young yet.

Dad liked the really odd stuff, head cheese and odd sausage stuff. I tapped out on some of that.....

Years ago when my father was diagnosed with his heart problems, the doctor told him NO ORGAN meat!!!!!! He lived several years after. One of his favorite meals was liver and onions. He and a friend went deer hunting in Canada for years. The big don't forget food item was a big bag of onions. good times,joe
 
Have you never heard of the "parson's nose"? Thats what my grandmother called the tail end of the chicken. Didn't care much for it but I've eaten most other parts of animals. Local lady used to want the chicken gizzards saved when we butchered. I never tried them. Another wanted the chickens feet saved and I never tried them either. Brains, no problem. Liver, heart, tongue, all good. Head cheese was made by boiling down the head of a pig and using everything in it. Turned into kind of a jelly as I recall and tasted great. Liver and onions is great, better with bacon.
 
I've never like organ meat. Don't like the taste or the texture. I used to work with a Vietnamese girl that would take all the stuff when I butchered a pig. She would tell about cooking eggs that had developed for about a week before cooking. I'm starting to wish I hadn't read this thread before I had breakfast. I guess a lot of it is what you grow up eating.
 
Tongue is the best part of the cow! Chicken liver I will eat - LOVE gizzards.... Beef heart and kidneys taste the same to me - have them every time we butcher. Anything pork is disgusting...
 
Archer Bunker said he wouldn’t eat beef tongue. When Edith asked him why? Archie said he wouldn’t eat anything out of a cows mouth. Edith asked what he wanted instead? Archie said a couple of eggs! LOL
 
We have have 2 beef tongues in freezer
would love to have instructions and
recipe for them if you can.
I assume the turkey butt would be the
same as a chicken butt, last thing across
the fence. A clump of fat and cartlidge I
think. I saw a guy come out with a quart
jar of chicken butts and grease for lunch
reminded me of canned sausage from the
looks of it until he opened it and
started eating them cold.
 
We grow meat rabbits and the kidneys, liver and heart all get cut up and fried together, they're very nice. I like pork liver too, never tried beef since we don't grow them. I haven't figured out yet how to cook pork heart and tongue, I followed the recipe one year but they both came out very tough. Since then we cook them and feed them to the chickens, who will eat almost anything.

iver and onions, mountain oysters is the extent of organ meats for me.
 
Haven't had much organ meat over the years, fried liver and onions are OK. I remember steak and kidney pie years ago somewhere. My dad was a butcher before the war and he had all kinds of butcher shop jokes when I grew up as a kid. One was about a guy who went into a butcher shop and asked the butcher ...... "Do you have beef hearts?" The butcher answered .... "No we don't but I'll sell you a can of beans and there will be farts tomorrow morning." That was one of his better ones .... ha!
 
Ray ..... good story, veal lips wouldn't be too appetizing .... ha! I still like a fried egg sandwich at noon with a bit of salsa spread on it. My preference though is regular bread (home made) but not toasted for some reason.
 
I tend to eat and drink what many say is BADDDDDDDD for me lol including maybe a beer a day and red meat. However Ive lived this long in relatively good health no major problems no cancer or heart disease or diabetes as of record to date with annual physicals which show alls well absent a bit overweight SO IM NOT CHANGING NOW !!!!!!!!! A buddy once said all those tofu and bean sprout eaters and vegans and health nuts will feel funny some say when they sit around dying of nothing lol

Still to each their own, live and let live eat and drink what you please and I will do the same thank you...

John T God Bless America, keep her strong free and great
 
I will eat most everything listed so far.
Never have tried Rock Mtn oysters yet but would.
Always save the liver and heart from the deer I shoot.
I can understand folks who don't like organ meat but if you have never tried cow tongue you really should. As said below, it's the best part of the cow.
When they killed off all the buffalo in the west they just left the carcasses to rot.
But they lived off the tongue meat.
PS,
In case Larry sees this;
I still ain't going to eat squash.
 
I worked about 2 weeks in Malaysia. Ate all the local specialties, as long as they didn't tell me what they were. It was all good. I was working with an engineer who was from that country, and the only thing we didn't eat was was anything that wasn't fresh. Not everything is properly refrigerated in transport. The better places to eat have the fish and seafood swimming in tanks. You pick a fish and they clean it and cook it. It was a great 2 weeks!
 
Liver 'n Lights poured over fried biscuits. Nothing better. (Pork liver, heart, kidney, lungs, peppers, onions, garlic all chopped up and slow cooked down into a heavy gravy and seasoned as you like it. Fried biscuits made simply from water, flour, a little egg and fried in pork fat. So good!!!
 
A fellow pilot friend had a favorite restaurant in Paris where one of their specialties was braised kidney. He loved it.

My Mother referred to Turkey Butts as the " Pope's Nose". Then again her Father was top ranked in both the Orange Lodge and the Black Lodge
 

Everyone mentions animal parts.
Growing up, visiting the grand parents on my moms side, us kids were treated to........

Stewed tomatoes on toast.
Creamed asparagus on toast.
Northern white beans on toast.
Chipped beef gravy on toast.
Plain hot water vs coffee or tea.

They were in their 30's during the great depression so I am thinking those things were something they ended up liking the rest of their lifes.

Mom would only feed us the beans and beef gravy on toast twice a month maybe.
Now a days I only fix the beans on toast with ketchup!
