In America, they call them varietal meats. In England, we call them "offal”, which many Americans think is a pun for “awful”. Whatever we call them, we mean certain organ and muscle meats such as tongue, kidney, liver, tripe, skirt and sweetbreads.
Colonial Americans enjoyed varietal meats; old cookbooks are studied with fascinating recipes.
To-day many fine cooks consider them a treat and a delicacy; to quote Anthony Bourdain, “Nose to Tail Eating” means it would be disingenuous to the animal not to make the most of the whole beast; there is a set of delights, textural and flavoursome, which lie beyond the fillet.
