Offal For You
Offal is also known as variety meats or any parts of the innards of animals including blood, brain, intestines, heart, eyes, trotters, testicles and such. Even though most people are used to preparing dishes with the actual meat of the animal a lot of tasty foods can be prepared with livers, kidneys, hearts, brain, and lungs among other innards.
