The chef explained that this was considered poor people's food. The rich ate the (what they thought was) good stuff, and the poor got the scraps. When it became cheaper through mass production, everyone wanted what the rich people ate. Of course, go back years before THAT, and the organs were the delicacy for the rich. Perhaps times will change again, if organ meats get expensive enough. ;) They rerun their shows often, but I don't remember which show it was on. The way she cooked everything sounded pretty good even to me, and I'm one of those who is grossed out by organs. Denise
