My mother made a wonderful beef tongue. I had pickled pigs feet as a child, pan-fried rattlesnake in the Boy Scouts, calf's brains in knoedel soup once in Austria, breaded fried eel, also in Austria, but never menudo, lungs or heart. I've made calf's tongue myself, and will do it again. Haven't eaten the smaller non-traditional meats, though, like those small birds in Italy, I forget what they're called.

Breda,

Got to watch serving people heart.

My Dad served one of his sisters-in-law heart once. told her it was round steak. Sliced very thin (3/16" or so) dredged in flour and pan fried in oil.

She thought it was a little tough, but bought the story.

Then he told her what it was, and she spewed, according to him, for hours. He swore she didn't eat enough to spew that long!

How did you cook the tongue? Pickled is a good way.

Have you ever had brains? No one eats them any longer with Mad Cow (IIRC they were pork brains) but I remember them being good eating, rolled in flour and fried, served with eggs for breakfast.

Mountain oysters are not that bad, but few will eat them if they know what they really are.

"bacon-wrapped heart?"

From the Grass Fed Gourmet:
Heart is chewy muscle meat, much like some of the tougher cuts of meat in the shoulders of pork, lamb, and beef. Thus, if your family won't sample a recipe containing hear alone, try removing the hard parts, chopping it up, and adding it to your stews. Your spouse and kids will never know the difference.

There is bacon in the "Braised Heart" recipe though.

The Feet are the tastiest part of the pig. Heart meat never did it for me...tho I had a Native American friend who would spit on his momma for a nice fresh Moose Heart.

I find this amusing as I have very fond memories of the story you told about the times your Mom tried feeding you Odd Bits...and your flat out refusal to try them. Our little Breda has grown up!!!

Mortician hearts are iffy at best. I know - my friend's daughter is one. She's a sweet girl, but absolutely remorseless. Put you down in a second without a qualm, if the need arose.
