You've been to a churrascaria and they didn't have chicken heart? That's pretty strange. :oQuote:

Cows, pigs, chicken, turkeys, fish/shellfish all have hearts. :greenie:Quote:

I actually had heart for the first time last week. Me and J were in some random Izakaya eating all this tasty trout and they had a bunch of comedy items on the menu like pork heart, diaphragm, intestines etc so I said we should try heart for a laugh. Neither of us were particularly thrilled with the idea but why the smurf not. It wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be, it tasted kind of nice, but the texture was a bit smurfed up so I probably wouldn't eat it again. Texture bothers me way more about food than the taste does.
well this is why I started to specify beef, pork, ham, etc. but then I couldn't think of what to call chicken and turkey...Quote:

Well, Dany ate a raw horse's heart, and sickness be damned she did well and ended up because very powerful!
But beef is just meat that comes from a cow! Liver/heart/intestines/etc are all part of the beef. Same for pork. It's just meat from a pig.Quote:

S'probably not that much different eating heart. It's crazy but I never really put much thought into what the meats I eat actually were until my friend pointed out to me that it's cooked animal muscle. xD
I'm not a fan of liver or kidney though. :{
Well then don't listen to me because I don't know anything about food! xDQuote:

My nana and other grandparents eat liver, kidney and heart quite a lot. But then I think it's definitely a war-time thing too. My Nana's a country gal and during the war if they killed an animal for foods, you bet they're gonna eat all of it. My Nana also has a thing about buying tinned foods in bulk like, some war things stick. :3
She'll still regularly eat offal so I've grown up surrounded by it. I've never eaten it though, I'm quite funny with meat anyway. I like it cooked in certain ways and sometimes I just don't want it. I've never tried offal I don't think I could.
The texture is a bit odd but yeah, I enjoy eating chicken hearts. More than I enjoy liver and kidney, anyways.
I think you guys are confusing the word STEAK for BEEF. Beef literally means any meat that comes from a bovine. Cow heart is beef.Quote:

okay, okay, I wrote a dumb sentence which implied that I didn't know what "pork" or "beef" was, we can stop talking about it and instead go back to talking about how I'm not going to eat heart okay? :p
FYI I was well aware when I was writing my post that things like hearts and offal "counted", I just didn't know how to better phrase it. Lesson learned I guess.
