Metro newspaper website
At last a (relatively) mainstream article highlighting the potential of the "icky" bits from the abattoir and the ethical/moral case for using the "fifth quarter".
Everything but the squeal?

Try finding a butcher who, knows about these bits and pieces and can source them for you should you wish to give a recipe a try ! My Dad used to love sweetbreads and there is nothing wrong with faggots. I'd never heard of them untill I moved south.

Kleftiwallah. Ah sweetbreads, with egg, bacon, mushrooms ,tomato's, fried bread. A meal fit for a King.

Give anything a go personally.
Sweetbreads yummy yum just fried up in a bit of butter. Find it add that these days you have to order offal in from the butcher.
Seriously do not like liver, always thought it was the texture but I had zebra and the taste was similar but with a venison fillet texture. (Bison was nice though)
And tripe - saw it, tried it, hated it (a street seller in Hong Kong - maybe I should give it a go again.
(Had ducks feet too - rather pointless)

Trixie74. When I worked in the docks many moons ago, ducks feet were exported to China.I know we imported ants in chocolate. Tried some, all you could taste was the chocolate.
