There are a couple examples in ethno-American cusines. Here in the States, most authentic Mexican food connoisseurs have probably had beef tongue (Lengua) or beef head (Cabeza) tacos. If you have ever celebrated Pascha (Easter) with a Greek friend, you probably had Magiritsa which is a soup made with lamb entrails (if you have hung out with Greeks period, they tend to eat the whole lamb...all of it) And if you have had some traditional South American soups or dishes, a lot of them are made with livers (beef, pork, or chicken). Something else that is becoming a trend lately in some hipster restaurants is sweetbreads.
- andybak 8y agoLiver (and kidney) is pretty common in the UK. Is it not in the US?
- zdragnar 8y agoSignificantly less so. You can find it, but finding someone who would go out of their way to eat it far less so.
- annywhey 8y agoIt's associated with an older style of "white tablecloth" dining that has faded away since the midcentury. If you go to the right kind of small-town diner you'll see liver and onions on the menu.
- elboru 8y agoDon't forget tripitas (intestines that have been cleaned, boiled and fried), and just for clarification, people don't eat them only because they don't want to waste or because they're cheap (actually tripitas are expensive compared to other kind of tacos at least in my city), but we eat them because we really like them.
