If you buy those whole roaster or fryer chickens they have the hearts, gizzards, and neck stuffed inside just like turkeys. After cooking the bird and stripping the meat off, you can make a really good chicken soup by boiling the bones for broth then adding them all back in along with whatever scraps were on the bones (typically richer parts of the chicken).

Gizzards are real good but for deepfrying livers are better. I like gizzards browned and then cooked low for 4-5 hours with a little dry vermouth and a lot of garlic.

I've always loved gizzards, but never ate hearts growing up. When I went to college, my roommate and I were planning out meals and he mentioned that he loved chicken hearts. I told him "I've never eaten hearts before. I love gizzards, though!" He told me "I don't think I've ever had a gizzard. Are they good?" "Yeah, they're great," I replied. "Well, hearts are delicious too," my roommate said. "I'll have to cook them for you some time." Then literally - not figuratively - later that day we went to the grocery store and saw a giant Value Pack of hearts and gizzards combined. Needless to say we pretty much had to buy it. We cooked them both that night and they were great, although I still preferred the gizzards and I suspect he still preferred the hearts.

Anyway, that's my gizzard story.

How did you cook them? I've heard hearts are pretty good when skewered and grilled. That's definitely something I wanna do this summer

i was enthralled by this riveting coming-of-age story. the quest for one simple boy's love of eating various kinds of bird flesh is one as old as time. i especially enjoyed the deep homoerotic undertones and the complex but very subtle biblical allegories.

the loving california supreme court overturned the ban on foie gras last year. granted the way it is produced is horribly cruel but it was a very dumb law as there's like one producer of foie gras in the entire state.

it's not something i regularly eat because of price and ethical reasons. i had to learn to cook it however and occasionally i do eat it but like i said i feel guilty as hell. it's tasty tho, like rich mans bacon

I dunno, a ban on literally torturing an animal for it's whole life leading up to slaughter seems pretty reasonable to me. Like i know i know factory farming is p bad too but at least with regular meat there's no active requirement to make the animal suffer, it sorta just happens as a byproduct of poor regulation and capitalism. Things could improve on that front if we were either willing to raise meat prices or subsidize them, but you're never gonna have ethical foie gras.

i grew up on a small cattle ranch so believe me i despise large factory farming. the reason i thought the ban on foie was a bad law was that it was basically designed to target one single producer. it wasn't a law passed by the legislature it was a ballot proposition which means that if you can get enough signatures for whatever your pet issue is it will make it on to the ballot. it's abused pretty regularly in california and has led to some of the absolutely retarded mishmash of laws and regulations that we currently have.

Thats cause there's only one producer of it in cali right? I dunno, it seems like a reasonable thing to ban to me. I guess i can sorta see your point of a system where the squeakiest wheel with the most time on it's hands gets to legislate morality being a bad thing, but this seems like a broken clock situation where they did come up with something worth banning.

absolutely, i just think it was dumb that instead of going through the legislature they went through the proposition system and promptly had the law overturned by the courts. i can't imagine anyone in the legislature having a serious problem with that except for like maybe the rep from napa

The dredged method of batter frying is pretty good, especially with gravy as mentioned earlier. However when I cook gizzards at home I prefer to fry them in a pan with a little olive oil, onions, and season them with curry powder. They pair well with saffron rice and roasted asparagus.

Honestly everything from Harold's is great. You don't see them in the nicest parts of town, but why would you want to go the nicest part of town unless you're some kind of tourist or person who stayed here after graduation?

Honestly, some of the best food I've eaten is in areas that are like a ghetto. Best chicken philly I've eaten which was melt in mouth awesome was made by Ali at a Shell Station who also made his own aoili's and sauces. Serious. Same with tacos and mexican in Texas, at a place with iron bars on the windows and I was driving a Merc. I think the danger adds to the flavor.

The best chicken in all of Delaware is this fried chicken carryout place in a marginal area of Wilmington called Walt's Flavor Crisp Chicken. They have a huge leather couch where you can sprawl out and wait for your giant bag of delicious grease. Also you can get a monstrous paper goblet of their homemade sweet tea. I just checked and gizzards aren't on their menu, sadly.

In my experience they're one of those foods that taste fine but are completely inedible. The texture of the ones I've tried were like squid, just really really chewy to the point where I struggled to eat them. By the time I chewed them up to the point I could swallow, they'd lost all flavor and it gradually dawned on me that I was basically eating chicken stomach tissue.

Chicken livers on the other hand are delicious. Just slather them with hot sauce, I could eat them all day for every meal.
