This tongue is tender, fatty, and flavorful and the contrast between the surface and the interior is so satisfying. The secret ingredient: lots and lots of oil. More

This is deep-fried pork belly on top of a pile of puréed beans enriched with flecks of melted cheese, which can be rolled up into a tortilla so that, depending on when you eat the pork belly, it is either chewy and saturated with bean-y flavor, or still crispy and dry. More

Whenever I have a bony cut that needs long cooking, I put it in a pot with water and wine and leave it over the lowest heat on the stove. The broth will make a nice base for any number of noodle soup dishes, the easiest one-pot meal there is if you wilt some greens into the pot at the last moment. More

Graisserons, which I understand to mean "large fat things" in French, are what happens to the skin and other fatty bits in a pot of confit. As the meaty bits tenderize, the fattier pieces render out, leaving behind slippery scraps or semi-browned crisp bits, depending on how hot and long you cooked your confit. More

Bone marrow and rice is one of my favorite combinations. You really only hear about Risotto Milanese, that famed dish of Arborio rice cooked in marrow with stock and saffron, but the idea of using bone marrow with rice is a fungible one. Any kind of starchy rice will do, and any kind of bone marrow, too. More

If anyone can wax poetic about chicken feet and pigs' ears, it's Chichi, our resident Nasty Bits columnist. Watch this video of her on Today.com explaining her love of organ meat from a young Chichi. "Why would I want a Gummy Bear if I can have chicken feet... I've never thought of it as something strange." More

Fish eggs, or roe, are harvested from so many kinds of fish and prepared in such innumerable ways that it's difficult to know where to begin. Though you'll pay a hefty price for black caviar, red caviar (salmon eggs) is just as delicious and a fraction of the cost. Throw them into your scrambled eggs with fresh herbs for a salty, rich, indulgent spin of your typical morning eggs. More

The last time I made blood sausage, I stood by myself in my kitchen with one hand ladling a creamy blood mixture into casings supported by the other hand, thinking, why I am lading blood into intestines at two in the morning? Blood sausage—with its pudding-like texture of blood and fat, creamy in the center and crispy when browned in fat—is well worth the trouble if you can procure fresh blood. More

Do you ever eat marrow on toast and think that it is the best thing you have ever eaten and will ever eat? I get that feeling every time I eat roasted marrow. And roasting marrow bones could not be an easier trick. You get your oven nice and hot, you slip in your pieces of bone for twenty or so minutes until the ivory-white bones have browned. Then you serve the bones with bread worthy of the marrow. More

Yakitori is really just a matter of picking out your favorite chicken parts to skewer (though non-chicken parts like beef tongue are common and delicious too). Common chicken parts include chicken heart, gizzard, liver, meatballs, thigh, and skin. The procedure is simple: grill, baste with sauce, grill some more, baste with more sauce, eat with more sauce. Emphasis on sauce. More
