Do you eat organ meat?

How do you prepare your organ meats?

Currently experimenting with beef kidney, great fun trying to purge subtle uremic aftertaste.

Lion's share usually involves soft organs such as the liver for the high density of nutrients there.
As such, I like using the liver to make really thick pate that I spread on baguettes and such. Hearts and kidneys get sliced paper-thin, seasoned lightly and sauteed with asparagus, leeks or brussel sprouts depending on how I'm feeling.

Its more common in Arctic predators, but they tend to have lots of vitamin A in their livers. There is this story of a crew of sailors who ran out of food in the 1800s and resorted to killing polar bears. Crew who ate the livers of polars bears begin to show signs of necrosis in their flesh as it slowly began to just slough off of their bodies.

>> No.13363690

>>13363669
all liver has ungodly amounts of vitamin A, like thousands of percent of daily recommended allowance(if you give that any credence, but with vit A too much is very bad). which is why you shouldnt eat any liver more than, I'd say, once per week, though even that i could see as being too much. I dont have scientific evidence of where you run into unhealthy territory, but if you eat liver say twice a week, you're probably pushing the boundaries of your liver or whatever vit A fucks with

>> No.13363701

>>13363690

actually i looked it up and beef liver is just a few hundred percent, though given vit A is demonstrably bad in high doses, I think they have the 100% reigned in pretty accurately. so idk if that makes my argument less valid or the same, and idk what kind of predators people eat to look up and make a comparison

The type of liver is indeed up to personal taste. I made turkey pate this past Thanksgiving that turned out really good, so I may do it every year. Beef, goose, chicken and duck's liver are fairly common choices.
I make turkey pate by chopping and gently cooking the liver with a dollop of butter, adding black pepper, a bit of brandy and salt as it cooks. A gentle bubbling is all you need for about a half an hour. I wanted a thicker pate for spreading so I slowly added a half tsp of general flour, stirring as I added. It had a deep, rich flavor without becoming gamey tasting.

>> No.13363726

Corn*, and soy* aren't used to finish cattle (At least not in the US).
Soy sprout is in the experimental stages as feed, and cattle are fed grass until finishing them on grains.
Cattle can only live off of grains for a short period, and do so naturally, but as a survival mechanism to cope with a lack of grass.

finish is literally just the diet given at the end of their life cycle, right? so the rest of their life, when developing the majority of their tissue, they are fed corn and soy.

>Do you eat organ meat?
I make chopped liver spread about twice a year. Hard boil an egg, shock to stop the cooking in cold water, meanwhile sweat onions in butter, gently cook the milk-soaked, patted dry, lobes of chicken livers (small tub 1/2lb) in the drippings, deglaze with a glog of cream or dry sherry, usually. Scrape all into the processor to cool, and once no longer steaming, process together with salt and pepper, and chill a couple hours to firm up. I can devour it within a couple of days. There's a sweetness, a mineraly flavor, and eggy and fatty richness. I prefer a rye triscuit, or those JJ Flats or other type of everything cracker.

Now to make this kosher you wouldn't be using butter rather instead you'd use schmalz (chicken fat), nor would you be soaking the livers in milk (which I feel is a good step). No alcohol, it's supposed to be simple, not a french pate, but I like that hint of something else there and think there are some alcohol soluble flavors. But I don't go traditional. It's just usually a last minute recipe to handle a sudden craving. Parsley on top if serving to others. Do not be tempted to use any kind of sweet onion nor caramelize them, just soften them up. You don't want it too sweet. You can italianize the recipe and making it like bruschetta topping, adding garlic, less processing, finished with a drizzle of balsamic glaze or raspberry white wine vinegar, or lemon zest.

I don't mind calves liver and if I see it on menus I might get it. And I think pork liver goes nicely into leberknudelsuppe "meatballs" but that's a real labor of love beginning to end. Only made it once.

You know what, that's exactly how I'd describe it.
It was hardly any grosser than if you just took a strip of fat and grilled it, and we basically do that all the time with bacon.
