[DesEtoiles]

[opihimoimoi]

1. Either a drink or a body part

[Crabby Appleton]

24. Gimlets are drinks

gimlet:
2 oz Gin or vodka
1/2 oz Lime juice cordial (Rose's)
1 Lime wedge

giblets are edible bird guts

[azurnoir]

2. Innards

the liver, heart, and that hard fleshy clam shaped thing.

[VespertineIconoclast]

4. Hard fleshy clam shaped thing = gizzard

It's the muscular pouch in the bird used to grind food. :)

3. Sorry, I thought this was the beaujolais nouveau thread.

Exit, stage left.

[Generic Brad]

You know. A vodka giblet. A gin giblet.}(

9. I thought it referred to the bag of "innards", including the neck,

that comes with the turkey, usually stuffed inside.

Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving!!!

:hi:

[pitohui]

12. well you're ahead of me

at least if you made a gravy and threw in the neck you got in more flavor than my stupid-ass interpretation which was that it giblets be gizzards!

[BikeWriter]

16. You got it!

[Jamastiene]

10. The parts they normally grind up to make cat food, I think.

Why they leave that crap in there, I'll never know. I might use the heart and liver to cook for my cats, but I ain't eatin' it. That shit ain't happening.

[pitohui]

11. now i do, i only considered the gizzard the giblets

i just checked the online dictionary and it says the liver, heart, and gizzard are the giblets


i feel an idiot because for all these beers and years i seperated out the liver as the liver, the heart as the heart, and I thought giblets was southern slang for the gizzard

whenever a recipe called out for giblets, i put in gizzards only, now i know why some of those gravies came out so insipid because i kept out the damn livers for other goodies!

so who knew? probably everyone but me! :-)

[opihimoimoi]

13. If ya not drinking, its Famine Food I guess

[BikeWriter]

17. Excuuuuuse me! Liver is good stuff!

:hi:

[some guy]

18. well, it's good to *have* a liver

it's nasty to eat one. :scared:

even with fava beans and a nice chianti...

:D

[BikeWriter]

19. AH! I like mine with fava beans and a nice chianti.

:)

[some guy]

:hi:

[BikeWriter]

22. TY, and back atcha. You want some of my, uh, turkey?

[TheBaldyMan]

20. Absolutely delicious, an excellent basis for stock and a 60's beat group.

Justt kidding with the last definition.

[tigereye]

23. sadly yes,

my grandmother loved them.

[JVS]

25. They come in the bag that you are supposed to remove from the turkey...

before cooking.

[Stardust]

26. You really don't wanna know.
