How many gizzard threads are we going to have in one day here?

>>19652167
It's pretty surprising that there is more than 1. It didn't even occur to me that I should look.

Wtf is a gizzard and why don't humans have one? Does "science" and "evolution" have an explanation for this?

>>19652490
if you don't even know what gizzards are then how do you know humans don't have them? FYI, humans have them too.

>>19652494
I had a gizzard all this time?

>>19652490
>Wtf is a gizzard
It's effectively a secondary stomach which "grinds" the chicken's food to break it down and make it more digestible, since they don't have teeth.
>and why don't humans have one?
Because we have teeth.

>>19652522
everything you said is wrong

>>19652527
Prove it. You can't.

>>19652527
Is big ornithology spinning its lies again, schizoid?

>>19652522
Do you have a peer-reviewed, fact checked, third party source to back this up? I'm going to need some reputable sources, by the way.

>>19652522
Why don't they just chew with their beak? Is nature seriously this retarded?

>>19652536

>>19652540
Deflection.

>>19652494
Only one mammal has an organ similar to a gizzard.
>>19652538
>Why don't they just chew with their beak?
Because the beak is not a tooth, nor should it be.

how do u do it anon did u go to comady school :'DD

I fucking love chicken gizzard. Fry it up with plantains in a thick chilli/pepper sauce, salt well. absolutely top tier food

>>19652545
gizzards, like giblets, has become an umbrella word for organ meat. heart, stomach, liver, kidneys. all things every animal on earth has. if you want to get into semantics then biologically the gizzard originally is a stomach. again, something all animals on earth have.

>if you want to get into semantics then biologically the gizzard originally is a stomach. again, something all animals on earth have
It's a digestive organ, yes, but it's not an identical organ to the stomach a mammal would have. If something is being sold as chicken gizzard, that's what you're buying.

>>19652569
Are you finished yet? You're derailing the thread.

>>19652596
>tldr retarded gibberish
it's a stomach.
/thread

>>19652602
ill be done laughen when u stop telin joaks :))

>>19652606
no, it's a gizzard. it functions kind of similarly to our stomachs, but its a different thing, different animals have different parts.
>>19652582
you are retarded

but op, fry them, or use them in a slow cooking method because they can be a little tough

>>19652610
Okay.

>>19652627
He's shitposting, anon.

>>19652634
I know he is. everyone knows a gizzard is a stomach. you'd have to be a filthy retarded dickless troll to say otherwise.

xD

1-2 lbs. Chicken Gizzards - cleaned and opened
1 med. Onion - diced
1 small Bell Pepper - diced
2 cloves of Garlic - minced
2 Tbsps. Parsley - chopped
4 Tbsps. Olive Oil
2-3 Cups Chicken Stock
Cajun Seasoning

HOW:
In a pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 Tbsps of oil on medium to medium-high.
Season/sprinkle the gizzards with Cajun Seasonings to taste.
In batches, lightly brown the gizzards and move them to a plate or bowl.
Heat the remaining oil.
Add onions and bell peppers and sauté until the veggies are tender. (2-3 min.)
Add garlic and parsley and sauté for one minute.
Return gizzards and juices to the pot.
Add about 2 cups of the Chicken Stock. (Note: Use enough stock to almost cover the gizzards, but not completely.)
Turn up the heat to boil, then lower to a low simmer.
Cover the pot and let everything cook on low (simmer for about 4-5 hours.
Stir occasionally and keep an eye on the pot so the liquids don't reduce to burning.
you should have a thick gravy.

like i said in the other thread, they taste great cooked with onions and peppers. Also goes great when you cook with beer or a little white wine.

Good and cheap hearty meal. Most part of the animal are pretty good, i recommend getting redpilled on chicken feets as well

>>19652811
*feet

>>19652149
bread 'em and fry 'em
tasty little fuckers

you're gonna want to make them like chicken nuggets with a creole breadcrumb

>>19652811
Not OP here, I got a pack with both gizzards and hearts in my freezer. Do hearts cook up good the same way or do you have a different recommendation for them?

>>19652939
Cut out as much connective material as possible and stew in broth, tomato, and wine with onion carrots garlic and herbs until extremely tender. Google Portuguese recipes for them, they know how to do it alright. Don't do roast garlic soup though, just stick to french onion.

>>19652149
I use them as bait when fishing for catfish.

>>19652149
Ok.
Garlic and diced onions cooked up in some butter till the onions are glassy, add some vegeta, some chopped up chilis (I like fefferoni), add the chopped up gizzards and fry them a bit, then add tomato paste and cover with water, let it simmer.
After a couple of hours cook up some flour in some olive oil and when it goes card-board coloured and smells like popcorn add in a heaping spoon of sweet paprika, mix it through, stir it into the stewpot, and let it thicken.
Serve on mash.
And don't be a pussy, dice up a brown onion and add it to the mash after it's mashed. Raw brown onion and some dill in a mash is delicious.

Put a glob of sour cream on top.

>>19653093
You can't do that as it contains flavor.

>>19652149
Deep fried.

grind them up with pork fat and make meatballs

>>19652149
Hi op, sorry if someone has already said it, but gizzard yakitori is fucking legit. Look up justonecookbook . com she's got a lot of stuff.
Obviously giblet gravy is easy and also very good, just made this recently with roast chicken and oyster mushrooms, was one of my best meals.
