Dude hands down right now is beef heart. Still under 1.50 a pound.

It's lean as hell so treat it like bison, clean it real well, trim it down into steaks. I like to soak mine for a bit in salty water to season it. Then pepper and sear the fucker and call it a day.

It's like concentrated beef flavor with a hint of gamey-ness. Goes great with a chimichurri or Gorgonzola.

I very rarely eat red meat, but I called around and found a local spot with beef heart for $2 a pound, no idea how much of it I will have to trim off, but I placed an order. Giving this a shot next week when it arrives. Any advice aside from your general run down and this website/video google pointed me towards?

No ruhlman pretty much explains what to do. You might lose 10% to trim, it's all surface stuff you trim off.

6.99 A LB OXTAIL TODAY

Taking bets on how high it can rise, or if we have reached Peak Oxtail. Good glorious gently caress. For reference, neckbones and beef heart were right next to them for 1.99 a lb. Sirlon was 5 a lb.

Also need reccomendations for how to cook beef tounge, since I ordered one in on a whim.

I have seen oxtail here for 8-10 a pound and just laughed my rear end off. Tongue here is 6-8 which is loving stupid

There. That's what to do with tongue, also you can corn it or make it into pastrami.

I'm assuming I know what a bung is, but does pizzle refer to the wiener?

The bung is the rectum. The pizzle is indeed the bull dillz.

Typically used in stews or soups. The little bits of meat on them are pretty good actually.

Anyone here tried balut? I hear it tastes good just can't get over eating a fetus.

I don't like the crunchiness of it. Taste wise it's fine, it's the texture that killed me.

I'm officially declaring that jackfruit will be this year's hot "exotic" item. It's already popping up at Whole Foods in little slices.

Why little slices? Those things are bigger than footballs.

Head cheese sounds mighty good right now, and a cheap delicacy in its own right. Until some posh rear end in a top hat makes up a name for it that doesn't make most people gag, anyways.

Just say it in french Fromage de tete de porc. Or just tete fromagee

Also chicken heart yakotori is loving phenomenal.

I just bought an 8-pound pork shoulder at BJ's for $10. Brisket's up to $6.50 a pound now, though. Ugh.

That's loving brutal. Even Sysco and RD are charging 4 bucks at least for angus or choice though. So it isn't just you getting hosed.

Made that one day for the wife. It's loving delicious. The vanilla is so subtle with just the one tap it's actually very good and works well,with the tomato sauce. Just think of Moorish style dishes with the nutmeg and cinnamon and whatnot an dots the same thing.

Make it. Eat it.

I always want to do this. Stupid question, but how can you tell if they are ripe and do they ripen after harvest?

First off wear gloves the entire time, second off if they are reddish purple and slightly soft, they are good to go. The ones around here usually drop their spines when they are ripe as well. But be on he safe side and wear some loving thick rear end leather gloves.

I have bought the full stalks before but never seen one in the ground. What a weird rear end plant.
