Okay–you guys have made me hungry. I just ordered fried chicken from the Chinese place a few blocks down. It should be delivered–piping hot and fresh from the fryer–in about 30 minutes. ---

> [@pulykamell](#): > > Did you say goulash soup? Here’s [recipe](http://www.lthforum.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=36783). I do love that soup. The Austrian and German versions of it are quite nice, too, and a bit richer. It’s discussed a little bit in that thread. 2 more things: 1. Galuska recipe: gimmee, gimmee, gimmee! 2. Do you serve the paprikash with the bone in and skin on? If so, do you just eat around both? ---

> [@Typo\_Negative](#): > > When I get fried chicken, they always want to give me breasts. But I am thigh man. (breasts are almost always dry, whereas the thighs are juicy!) I know that the breasts have the most meat, and that the thighs are the juiciest, but I’ve always preferred the legs and wings, maybe because they’re easier to eat around the bones? > [@Derleth](#): > > I prefer thighs out of all the ‘normal’ pieces of fried chicken, but the way into my heart is gizzards and liver. Fried chicken gizzards are wonderful, fried chicken liver is better. Hearts are good, too, but I’ve never had a fried chicken heart. Eating organ meats in today’s day and age seems like an unnecessary throwback to me. Some people may like the taste, some people are used to it. Why not have fried chicken cloaca? Organ meats disgust me. I was tricked into eating braunschweiger as a kid and didn’t mind it, but when I found out it was liver it turned my stomach. Have there been any studies to show that eating organ meat is beneficial? ---

> [@Alice\_The\_Goon](#): > > Does anybody else’s local KFC have a buffet? They do here in the Asheville area, and it is _delicious_. Granted, I’ve only been to it once, the other day, and I was starving to death because I hadn’t eaten all day, so maybe that’s why it tasted so good, but damn it was good. I’m going back. Nope. I’ve never seen a buffet at KFC, but I remember when Wendy’s had a buffet. I used to love it as a kid (still love Wendy’s), I realize it probally wasn’t as good as what I remember in my head. ---

If so, do you just eat around both? Yep! Bone in. Skin on is the typical presentation. Just the way it should be. 🙂 I don’t know all this about this eating around both. I eat the skin. The bones I leave on the plate, though. ---

Yeah, I figured it would be something like Coq au Vin in that regard. My wife is not a fan of that type of dish, since she doesn’t really like the soft skin. I usually just remove it on her piece. ---

Have there been any studies to show that eating organ meat is beneficial? Except for liver, they tend to be lower in fat than a lot of the standard leg/breast/wing cuts. And liver, while higher in fat, is high in iron. ---

> [@dnooman](#): > > Eating organ meats in today’s day and age seems like an unnecessary throwback to me. Some people may like the taste, some people are used to it. Why not have fried chicken cloaca? IMO the stigma of organ meats seems to stem from the perception of them as “poor people food.” > [@](#): > > Organ meats disgust me. I was tricked into eating braunschweiger as a kid and didn’t mind it, but when I found out it was liver it turned my stomach. Have there been any studies to show that eating organ meat is beneficial? liver at least has shitloads of vitamins and other micro nutrients. I personally don’t care for it because (I’m guessing) the high iron content makes it taste sort of like blood. but the fact that it’s liver doesn’t bug me. ---

> [@dnooman](#): > > Eating organ meats in today’s day and age seems like an unnecessary throwback to me. Nah. If you have no problems eating the flesh of another animal, I don’t see why organ meats should be particularly disgusting. I _love_ liver when prepared well. Love love love it. When I was a kid it was a special treat to find that chicken liver floating in your portion of chicken soup. I wasn’t as fond of hearts–I mean, they were fine, but they didn’t call out to me like liver did. Brains I can take or leave, kidneys I don’t particularly care for, but there are days I would prefer liver to a porterhouse steak.
