Offal?

[bobquasit]

Offal. I had lunch today at a place that had "Plate of Offal" on the menu.

Really. And it wasn't a joke.

It was a company lunch at "Eastern Standard" in Kenmore Square. Very fancy, somewhat expensive. And they had offal on the menu.

I had to ask.

"It's made from the parts of the animals that people don't normally use," said the waiter, "like brains."

I considered ordering the meatloaf, but it seemed to me that "meat" in that context could include offal. So I stuck with the pasta.

I am so glad nowhere near me sells food like that, I'd smell it from a mile off and probably vomit immediately.

I remember when I was on a driving holiday in Europe in 2004, there were calves brains on the menu of the cafe I was eating it. Thankfully it was in German, and my dad sensibly didn't tell me until after I'd eaten and we'd left.

Back in the days when I was more carnivorous I used to make a real tasty Ox Heart with Orange Sauce and Dauphin Potatoes.

Let us remember that the kinda pink mystery meat stuff at least some of us had in sandwiches in public school lunches is "potted meat food product." And some sausages have, uhh, stuff in them.

And of course honey is more or less bee vomit. :)
