Offal Meat Markets

October 16, 2007 on 7:54 am | In Photos, Offal | Comments

Here is a slew of photos that I have taken on my past 2 trips to Europe, they are from both Italy and London. These photos show the true passion for food that Europeans have and how the whole beast is a very important part of their lives. From a simple game bird to a horse meat butcher, and speciality tripperia all have there place in the daily markets.

  1. As an american I was raised by a mom who actually encouraged us to try different things. There are some things I always used to put my nose in the air about but I find as I get older, I become more open minded. Most of the people I know won’t eat beef hearts or chicken hearts and such because they think it’s disgusting. I happen to think properly cooked they taste great! I love the pictures. That butcher sure has a CLEAN area! And it’s displayed so nicely that it makes me want to experiment more and broaden my horizons so to speak. I happened on this site quite by accident and will add it to faves!
