    Chicken and beef livers are sold in grocery stores.

    What's the nutrition like on these?? I've seen and tried chicken hearts. How's an easy/ simple way to prepare while still tasting good?

    Ridiculous.

    Liver, bacon, onion, mashed potato - heavenly combination!

    Steak & kidney pie (a.k.a. Kate & Sidney pie in our household) was one of my Mum's staple meals.

    Chicken liver pâté on toast or French bread - yum.

    Haggis of course contains offal.

    Not keen on some of the more unusual bits & pieces, never tried tripe for example and don't think I ever will.

    Plus other organs are usually included if you buy a whole chicken or turkey.

    My husband likes organ meat including the heart and liver of deer ::sick::. I'm not a fan of any organ meat except tongue. I love tongue.

    Tripe is ok, used to eat chicken hearts, don't any more. Properly prepared calves liver, foie gras, beef bone marrow and ox tail are my favorites (very judicial use of the word organ...). If you have an immersion circulator or sous vide set up, liver can be phenomenal. Most of that coppery taste is because it is over cooked. Sous vide solves that.

    Turkey hearts are tasty, the best part of a turkey. I used to eat braunschweiger and liverwurst.

    Chicken and turkey hearts are good. I've only ever had them when cooking a whole bird so it's not something I eat on a regular basis. I see little containers of them in the store, as well as beef liver. I don't make any of that kind of stuff. It would go over like a lead balloon in my house.
