Offal, or Awf-ul? The term ‘offal’ comes from

Offal, or Awf-ul?

The term ‘offal’ comes from the “off-fall” - whatever is left after butchering an animal. We know the term best in reference to organ meats, such as the heart, liver, kidneys, lungs etc. Offal is packed with an incredibly high amount of nutrients and is said to be one of the healthiest foods available.

In most European and Asian countries, little of any slaughtered animal goes to waste. Dishes include the stomach, hooves (trotters), shin, intestines, liver, head, tongue, pancreas, lungs, kidneys, udders, and, very rarely in certain communities, testicles. Beef or goat blood is sometimes mixed with other offal pieces to create specialty dishes.

But I find Australians, in general, do not like eating offal. Offal is commonplace in everyday food culture almost everywhere else.

I'd love tpo know - do you eat offal? What's your preference and how do you prepare it? #art #offallygood #handsourced #Aussiechefs #beautifulfood #aussiefarmers

Duck's head is often served as a snack throughout

Duck's head is often served as a snack throughout China, most notably in Shanghai. It is also spicy local specialty from the Chinese city of Wuhan. The dish is made by stir-frying a head of duck with the addition of herbs and spices.

Stir fried Duck's head has a crispy texture, and it is claimed to be a 'health food', with the claim that it helps one's brain power when consumed. Some say that the taste of the dish is not unlike eating a spicy chicken wing.

When the head is served, it should be pried open with one's fingers to get to the tender meat on the interior.

A CNN report describe it as one of Shanghai's weirdest foods. Have you eaten Duck's head? How was it cooked?

What is chlorinated chicken?
Simply put, it’s chicken that has been treated with chlorine. Once a chicken has been killed and prepared, it’s washed in water that contains chlorine or other chemicals; a process called Pathogen Reduction Treatment (PRT).

This is to remove harmful bacteria such as salmonella, campylobacter and E.coli, which could make us very ill.

This process applies to almost all Australian chicken, including organic chicken. It means your stocks, soups and broths contain amounts of these chemicals, which in turn, are ingested by you and your family. However, there are ways to access chlorine free chicken. You can read more about this in a blog post, here: https://www.handsourced.com.au/behind-the-scenes/are-australian-meat-chickens-bleached

Chicken feet consist mostly of connective tissue—skin, cartilage, tendons, and bones. They’re quite nutritious and deliver a fair amount of vitamins and minerals.

About 70% of their total protein content is collagen, a structural protein that provides shape, strength, and resistance to your skin, tendons, muscles, bones, and ligaments.

Don't worry, yours will be nice and clean when we send them to you. We'll make sure to peel the skin and the outer layer of the toe nails from the feet, which is what is required for human consumption.
Do you eat chicken feet?

These are Moroccan Spiced Venison meatballs and they're bloody delicious.

Why? Wild Venison is a great source of protein, incredibly low in fat, and its levels of saturated fat are much lower than in other red meat.

How? Recipe on the blog (and venison mince is in our online shop).

Do it.
