You know the routine. Buy a whole chicken. Cut the plastic off. Drain the juice. Reach inside and grab out the waxy paper bag of giblets. Make a face and discard in the trash. Wait, what are you doing?! For some reason, the innards of various livestock, also known as offal, have been ditched in favor of strictly muscle meat in many industrialized nations. But in Great Britain, offal is hot. Time reports that sales of offal in the country have jumped 67% in the past five years. Brits are expected to spend $62M this year on kidneys, livers, stomachs, trotters (feet) and intestines. Whether this surge in interest in offal is some sort of cultural re-awakening, or simply a response to increasing prices for meat, the fact that innards are back on the plate is good. No part of any animal should be wasted, and some of the offal are the most nutritious part of the animal. A few years ago, famous British chef Fergus Henderson wrote the acclaimed book, Nose-to-Tail-Eating: A Kind of British Cooking, outlining recipes and preparation techniques for the rich variety of parts that a single animal can provide.

I used the giblets from my Thanksgiving turkey this year and it turned out delicious. The recipe I used had me put them in the bottom of the roasting pan with vegetables and chicken broth, then use all this to flavor the gravy. My family didn't want the giblets actually in the gravy, so I strained them out with the veggies, but it was all delicious.

It's true what our moms said...we are what we eat. In fact, it's truer than they thought. What I eat doesn't just affect me anymore, it affects all of us.
Unfortunately, the story of food can sometimes be complicated. But envirovores help each other out...which is why this blog will be bringing you news, tips, and information about food and the environment every step of the way.

And I expect it's taken relatively quickly, because it's not something strange and unusual, it's something that lots of older people would remember from when they were younger, and having been reminded about them, would like to try these foods again.
