Giblets?
 

Ok i know what they are, but could someone possibly tell me why they insist on stuffing them inside a chicken? what is the point of them? what use are they to anyone?

thankyamuchly :D

Re: Giblets?
 

I think people stew them n stuff like that ......

*wanders off to puke*



Edit-'There are a number of recipes that use giblets. If a bird is to be stuffed, the giblets are traditionally chopped and added to the stuffing. If not, they can be used for other purposes, such as giblet pie or, a Southern favorite, giblet gravy. With the exception of giblet gravy, the liver is not usually included in these recipes, as its strong flavor tends to overpower other ingredients. It may be used in liver-specific recipes, such as pâté or yakitori. Giblets can also be used to make alicot, a French stew.'

bloomin dirty southerners ;)

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Re: Giblets?
 

I buy them without giblets now, but used to cook them with the chicken for the dog.

Re: Giblets?
 

well i usually buy a fresh chicken from th'asda but this week i went to tesco instead and bought a frozen one, and it had them in it

Re: Giblets?
 

They are used to make gravy stock (discarded after boiling in water)

Re: Giblets?
 

Sorry Flashytart i have never found any giblets in the lamb joints i get:confused:

Re: Giblets?
 

tut MICHAEL i did say CHICKEN lol

Re: Giblets?
 

i hate the thought of them giblets

Re: Giblets?
 

aye, boil them in some water, remove and chop up for cat(liver and kidneys), use stock to make the gravy.

Job Done.

Its meat after all. I'm guessing you don't like Kidney and Liver at all then?

Re: Giblets?
 

i love liver, but i cant eat anything with too much iron in it, it has the same effect/affect (whichevers right) on me as coffee does

Re: Giblets?
 

effect in that case. :D


So whats wrong with the chicken liver, lovely and tender, In fact I prefer Chicken Livers to Lamb.

Re: Giblets?
 

cant say as ive ever fancied chicken liver to be honest

Re: Giblets?
 

I used to freeze and save the chicken livers until Ihad enough to make chicken liver pate (with brandy added) --yummy on toast as a starter with side salad.
Then I found that M&S made it just as good so stopped taking all that trouble.

Re: Giblets?
 

...oh my...

Re: Giblets?
 

I just buy them for ~£2/lb.

Lovely....

Re: Giblets?
 

My cat loves giblets. They are her Christmas dinner. :D

Re: Giblets?
 

Re: Giblets?
 

yeah.... my bin loves them:D

Re: Giblets?
 

now we know why you need an extra bin emma lol :D

Re: Giblets?
 

I remember my first Turkey i left the giblets in the turkey (in the bag)! Well i didnt know i thought i had got them out but aparantly that was the neck! We still eat the turkey and we didnt get belly ache! lol

Re: Giblets?
 

lol bet the turkey was nice and crispy inside ;)

Re: Giblets?
 

I thought gibbies didnt come in chicken anymore??

I remember my mum boiling them up and eating then after!!!...the dirty sod!!!!

ewwwww horrible!

Re: Giblets?
 

Stuffing them inside a chicken is far safer than trying to stuff them inside a large angry Polar Bear:D Maybe its some weird Frankensteinian attempt to bring the chicken back to life ... or some ancient religious rite associated with THE GREAT CHICKEN GOD ... (Warning: don't name your teddy bear after him).:eek:

Re: Giblets?
 

oh... thats me renaming my teddy bear then:(

Re: Giblets?
 

I think that they leave this disgusting mess (apart from the livers which are tasty, and if you have enough make a great pate) to bring up the weight so that the poor consumer pays more. But it does make great cat food.

Re: Giblets?
 

I guess I'm in the minority here. I really enjoy all the giblets. My mom used to boil them for us and I still do this. They are all very tender and tasty (IMO) with a bit of salt and pepper on them!

Re: Giblets?
 

I can almost hear you purring from here:signwier::D

Re: Giblets?
 

I guess growing up where bologna sandwiches/peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were considered fine living, this kind of stuff was a nice change. Definitely was better than the dry dog food and dog bisquits we used to sneak. Okay, it was only me and my youngest brother but you get the picture.

Usual and honest dialogue: Mom, I'm hungry: "have a piece of toast!" I just had one. "Then have a piece of cheese!"

Again, very true story: "Brian, cut this boiled Cow's tongue up and give it to the dogs." I would consume half of that thing (minus the rough topside) on my own!

Just another thread in "The Life of Brian." Boy that'd make a swell movie eh?)

Re: Giblets?
 

Have you got around to roasting those possums yet?:D

Re: Giblets?
 

I love to munch on the turkey neck... yum yum cat likes the rest of them...

Re: Giblets?
 

Just for Flashytart:D

Re: Giblets?
 

EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW, that's gross! :p

Re: Giblets?
 

Methinks someone has been watching too many re-runs of Beverley Hillbillies:D

Re: Giblets?
 

cheers Mick :rolleyes: have just eaten my tea too

Re: Giblets?
 

Never a fan of the Beverley Hillbillies Mate! I did like Daniel Boone though in case that counts.

Re: Giblets?
 

Sure it counts, though I prefer his descendant, Richard Boone. Still a big fan of Have Gun - Will Travel:Banane25:
