I've eaten more game since then -- some I cooked myself, and now we're raising rabbits in the backyard. My husb .and will have to slaughter and dress them, at first anyway. If he does manage to get me to slaughter, he'll have to get me used to it in baby steps. My grandfather raised a small herd of beef cattle, but sent it into the butcher to be processed. My father said he sometimes cried; that side of my family has always bonded quite easily with animals. I'm being careful not to bond with the rabbits. I'm going to have blood tests done soon, and the lab is down the street from a butcher shop. I'm going to drop by there on the way home to see what all they have, and if the prices are cheaper than muscle meat. I wonder if the prices will only be a little cheaper than muscle meats since we live in a multi-cultural area. Hopefully they'll have chicken feet (I've heard they make great broth); if not, then I'll try the Asian market for those.

Because there aren't that many sources out there I have found so much inspiration thorough you, not just for offal but your dedication to sustainability and local ingrediants. Thank you very much for what you're doing here we needed an American counterpart to Fergus Henderson, and I cannot wait for your cookbook.

Offal (exc. liver) is simply unavailable in stores around here (unless you're buying canned menudo). So no more steak-and-kidney pie or any of the many Latino and Mediterranean delicacies based on offal. Great site. Found it by accident while looking up Pig Bag (musical performer).
