Chicken gizzards, when prepared right (fried), are a delicacy. While I am
not a gizzard fan, many in my immediate and extended family are, so...

We need a meat that is disapproved of universally. May I suggest "pickled
pig's ears that have been sitting in a jar on a bar counter since you've
been born"? Adhering to RDA guidelines, I am not using abbreviations to
describe the material at hand at the bar.

Thanks,
Becky, who consulted her family cookbook for this email.

Chicken feet can be good as well...
