I love what some refer to as soul food. Like I've stated, my neighbor is
old school black south Ga. He and I get together on weekends and cook.
He makes the BEST ox tail stew on the planet!

That sounds good. You can keep the chitlins.
My ma is from the Ozarks, so I've plenty of greens and hominy,
and plenty of fried chicken. Only like turnip greens.
Chitlins is way too exotic. Same with head cheese.
Hey, you gotta draw a line somewhere, or you'll turn into a Chinaman.

I like GOOD head cheese. It's only the meat from around the head.

I've always heard it's got lips and eyeballs thrown in there.
Used to like beef tongue when I was a kid.
Can't tolerate it now.

Hey, some people think Spam is real meat.
And maybe it is.
Because it's better than bologna too!

Have not had head cheese in a lot of years. Dad loved it. As to Tongue,
wife will not cook it, so I get Lengua a the Mexican deli's I frequent.
Along with goat. Berria. Just do not get those things at the regular
eatery.

We used to eat tongue and beef heart quite a bit. Both were cheap.
Five boys in the family, and they didn't pay Air Force sergeants much
back then. I've tried heart within the last couple years. Didn't like
it. I love liver though.

Mmmm, LOVE calf's liver. I used to hate it, but I found out that was
because that was the only thing my aunt didn't cook well. She fried it
until it was shoe leather!

Which is the common mistake. It should have a little pink on the
inside, as was pounded in my head by the chef in a German restaurant.
After I sent the liver back twice because I thought it was
undercooked, the chef came out and told me how Americans knew nothing
of cooking liver. So I tried it his way. Very good.
