where do you suppose those Americans came from? They brought all
their favorite foods with them because even here in the U,S,, cattle
have tails, chicken have feet, etc. Sweetbreads was one of my
favorites as a child. I ate pickled pigs feet along with my mom (she
loved them) We ate liver. It is only in recent times that people
decided they should only eat the big muscle parts. I hate it when
sausage advertises that it is made solely with some of the big muscle
parts of the animal. We love bacon, sausage and lunch meats that
were originally devised to utilize lesser parts of an animal. If you
are going to kill an animal for food, you'd better be willing to eat
the whole darn thing. End of sermon
