Cook the Book: 'Beyond Nose to Tail' Contest
I work just down the road from Fergus Henderson's restaurant, some I'm lucky enough to have tried some of his recipes first-hand. I did love his roasted marrow and I do like my sweatbreads, but my favorite offal discovery is cooked lamb intestines - the mother's milk cooks inside the intestine and forms a light creamy cheese.

At the Chocolate Show: The Vanguard
Ah, I'm attending a chocolate launch later this week - this has put me in the spirit for it, though I still feel unsure of my powers to exert self control.

Lengua and barbacoa tacos are definitely in the top. Sweetbreads. And it's ankimo season - one of my favorite liver dishes ever.

I'd have to go with the haggis myself

Bulls foot soup and ice cold hieneken at 2pm , roadside in St. martin

Sweetbreads. Lovely, ethereal, just-barely-there-then gone.

Honeycomb tripe! I've had it broiled, boiled & in a bowl of menudo. My favorite recipe is the Trippa Alla Romana I found on epicurious.com. If I won Beyond Nose To Tail I would definetly be open to trying exciting and new types of "offal foods". Ha!

Not to be boring, but I have to say that liver pates and foie gras are pretty hard to beat in my opinion. I also really like blood sausage. I am excited to try roasted marrow, which I have a recipe for in a new cookbook I just bought.

It's gotta be livermush. A North Carolina favorite - sliced thin and pan fried.

My recent discovery of roasted marrow bones (yeah, so sue me) tops just about every "favorites" list I've ever constructed...

For me, it's a tough call between scrapple and haggis. I have family from Wilkes-Barre, so I've been eating scrapple as long as I can remember, but I recently had haggis at Bethlehem, PA's Celtic Classic and it was amazingly good. I think all in all, I have to go with scrapple since it's been part of my repertoire for so long.

It's a toss up between lingua and cabesa tacos. Also always enjoy liver onions and bacon.

Geez... Pozole is usually made with pork roast, sometimes chicken.
MENUDO is made with tripe.
Sorry about the mistake. I love them both! :c)

Only had sweetbreads once but it was one o the best dishes I can remember. On a regular basis, it's a tie between menudo (tripe) and chicken liver pate.

I was born & raised in Southern New Mexico, so much of the offal I've had has been typical of the hispanic culture. I grew up eating tongue/lengua "sandwhiches" (lonches), fried chicken gizzards dusted with chile powder & scrambled egg and cow brain burritos with my Grandfather. My favorite, though, would have to be pozole. It's a kind of soup made with hominy and tripe. We eat it with New Mexican red chile sauce, diced onions, lime & oregano. My mouth waters just thinking about it.

I don't normally eat meat, but everything that goes into Brazil's national dish Feijoada (black bean stew with sausage, different meats and several pork "parts" in it: feet, tail, ears, etc.) is delicious!

Smoked cured tongue. My mother used to buy the whole thing, boil it, skin it, and slice it. Delicious!
I wish I could find it in Southern California.

Ok I know you want us to post our favorite offal dish. But I truely and honestly have none! YUCK!!!

kway chap makes good use of spare parts - clear broth with flat noodles (something like rice flour fazzoletti) that is served on the side with stewed pork offal like intestines, trotters, and my favourite, pig skin (collagen!). the most authentic stalls have pig's blood (solidified like tofu) too.
angler fish liver sashimi that melts in your mouth. does uni sashimi count? that's sea urchin ovaries right? mmm

confits des gesiers, duck's gizzards slowly poached in duck fat. you can buy that in any crummy supermarket in france.
oh, and chopped liver, of course. with lots of gribenes and onion.

I have to go for a classic and one of my first experiences of offal, beef tongue in brown sauce with button mushrooms, yum!

I love my mama's smothered liver and onions. She first soaks the liver in buttermilk, then beer. So delicious.

sweetbreads, roasted bone marrow, livers, tripe, and braised oxtail..i love it all! my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

We grew up on beef liver and tongue, never thought twice about it.

Sweetbreads with braised pearl onions or a good old-fashioned tonue on rye. Mmm.
