@loulou: It’s not like eating offal is something new. Someone above mentioned haggis. That heart/kidney/lung/stomach dish has been eaten for at least 600 years. And people from all cultures have eaten animal genitalia for just as long. From bulls and sheep, to fish (as in Soft Roe/milt) and spans the globe from the Americas to Europe to Asia. Now having said all that, I must admit that I’m not a big fan of most offal products, but I certainly don’t see anything depraved or debased about eating them. Unless you have moral issues with eating meat in general (which is a whole other debate) I don’t see any reason why one part of an animal is off limits while the rest is just fine.

Nice blog by the way, Chris!

They were served along with duck tongues and crispy duck skin as a garnish for a duck liver and duck egg yolk raviolo. Absolutely to die for.

This site referenced D’Artagnan as the vendor to buy them from. When I searched the on-line D’Artagnan product line I could not find them. Finally, I called the company to inquire as to whether or not they offered them and was told that they did, but they were not offering them on-line because they were not sometbing that many people were interested in purchasing. I suggested that they offered them because more people were interested in purchasing them and if they didn’t want them, then they just wouldn’t order them. I ordered a five pound bag. I haven’t tried them yet, but I can’t wait until I do. I also ordered cockscombs from them. I am looking forward to having some great “OFFAL GOOD EATS”!

It’s more debased to throw away and waste a perfectly good to eat, tasty, easy to prepare part of the animal. What do you think goes into the sausages and hot dogs you eat, sugar?

I live in the US and there is a butcher shop near my house, and I can get some of the more exotic offal practically free. That’s not being debased, it’s being thrifty and practical. It was nice, also, to be able to prepare haggis the old way. I had it on a business trip to Scotland and loved it, as do most people who try it there.

People are becoming more and more debased. Just a sign of the times we live in I guess.

I started my stay in San Francisco with a dinner at Incanto and ended it tonight with a dinner at Incanto again. Last time, the duck fries were not on the menu, but this time I had better luck. Delicious!……
