Reply #33: kidneys always taste like piss to me

[sui generis]

and I don't like mountain oysters either - I have a very keen sense of smell/taste . . . blecccch to that!

But tongue is just another roast - albeit kind of hard to look at.

Shoulder clod or riser (beef) actually makes great chili. Cut it into 1/2 cubes, brown with onions, prepare your favorite non-bean chili recipe and cook it down for two hours (or until tender), working on your spices a little at a time and cayenne at the last.

It's the texture of the pieces that adds to the chili experience - not that ground sloppy joe stuff people usually like to eat.
