Actually, pork heart, tongue, stomach, and even intestines are not uncommon fare. If you grew up on
a farm which butchered its own meat, even in Minnesota, you probably ate all of these as head
cheese, souse, chitterlings (chitlins'), or in some other form - which was most likely
reconstituted.
I eat scrapple so I guess strange body parts don't bother me.
When I worked at Swift (Okey Street in DC) they made hot dogs and
sausages right there. I never really saw anything disgusting going
into the grinder. It all came off of the primals we brought in the
front door. No exotic parts at all, just what you would recognize as
meat. They had people monitoring the fat content and the spice packs.
I assume there were preservatives in there too but hot dogs did not
keep as long in those days so maybe not that much.
I LOVE good scrapple!
