Julie: An aside -- is there still anyone who does not believe liver & onions to be simple & pure evil?
Me. Onions are essential. Chicken livers wrapped in bacon and broiled to a nice brownish consistency admit no evil. Also tripe, baked calf's heart, and with a nod to our friends across the Atlantic, kidney pie. (The kidneys must be properly drained.) Tongue is good, whether beef or lamb, also sweetmeats. Further, nodding toward John's general region, shark fin soup is a delight, as are skate wings, and it is possible to jump up and down for frog's legs, if properly rendered.
Organ meats have a bad rap, Julie. It's about time they were rehabilitated. And why not the whole creature? Oyster shooters make glad the hearts of the brave.
