Are you referring strictly to human organs?

Gawd, I hope not!

I didn't know if there were some med school days in there I didn't know about....

I don't know if I can honestly say I've seen the first three unprocessed, but I saw brains in a Mexican grocery.

And testicles. Yes, a fellow in the drama dept. hosted hosted The Testicle Festival every year, at which he fried many a bovine ball.

I just don't think I could bring myself to eat an eye. Even imagining the texture makes me shudder.

I *must* go out to dinner with you sometime when you order sweetbreads! Want to try without the risk of paying out the wazoo for a dish I might not like!

Then don't order them at snooty bistro. I first had them at an Argentinian place which spookyfruit--a true beef lover--holds in contempt, where they came as part of a generous sizzling sampler. Had you hated them, you could've eaten four other types of beef and still felt you'd gotten tremendous value.

After this experience, I looked up the skinny on sweetbreads. Whew! They're like pure cholesterol. I figured one serving every three years is about as much as my poor body can reasonably handle.

I ate a fish eye once, after one of my professors said they were a delicacy in China, but I don't think I could bring myself to do it again. I've tried all the others and liked them (mmm...sweetbreads). I've also eaten brain tacos, which were very good, and I can only hope I didn't pick up any hideous prion diseases from them.

Was that at El Jardin? I once had a waiter at El Jardin offer to pay for my dinner if I would order brain tacos. I said, "I'm not that drunk." He said, "Yet."

Then I went to Sheffield's and saw a couple have sex on one of the tables.

It was quite the evening.

Yes, it was at El Jardin; I went there with my parents a fair amount when I was a teenager. I know that muckefuck's contempt for places like El Jardin is boundless, but it was much, much better than any other Mexican food I'd eaten at the time. My dad ordered the brain tacos pretty regularly, so I eventually tried them too. I remember thinking they were great, though some of my positive feelings may have come from being impressed with myself for being so adventurous.

Wow. Guessing that correctly makes me feel like one of Teh Kool Kidz.

Unfortunatle, I am gout prone...so innnerds are a general No No....

My question is, why do only TWO of these have official euphemisms?

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

...not to mention muscle, tendon, cartilege, connective tissue, blood, blood vessels, nerves, lymphatic ducts, small bones, perhaps bone marrow...

I'm having trouble believing that you, of all people, haven't tried testicles. :-)

You
