The milk?

All but the glands are fine with me. Like all the rest of you, I am an omnivore capable of eating meat and veggies as well as fruit and nuts. In the case of pigs, almost everything named is contained in products popular at your local supermarket. I hesitate on the glands because some products internal to same interfere with some of our own glandular and hormonal outputs. If I know what the effects are, I can judge. But often I am uncertain.

I won't eat most of the above-listed organs for safety reasons (Brains, in particular, are very risky due to Creutzfeld-Jakobs; some of the other internal organs also have higher risk involved in eating them) or taste reasons (things like the pancreas just don't taste very good). For the same reason I'd prefer eating the breast of a chicken to the leg, or eating the rib of a cow to its flank...

I haven't had a pancreas in my life yet, so I can't say. I tasted bull testicles once but didn't like it. I think eating them is part of a macho ritual. Voted for all other things - as you've said "if cooked right".

[MadMark]

I'm not eating any of that crap.

[Kilsimpaile]

I eat meat. Nothing different, it'd be yucky.

Personally, I hate the consistency of beef liver, so I don't eat it. The idea of eating the body's toxic waste dump doesn't do anything for me either.

I have had sweatbreads twice - once it was really good, once it wasn't. Heart is okay, never have had lungs or kidneys. Had calves brains once, and it was actually not bad - the consistency was very different from what I expected. If done right, tripe is good. I like sucking the marrow out of bones. I have had polish duck blood soup, and it was fine. I have had many types of blood sausage, and the Spanish version (as in, from Spain) is the best; pork meat, pork blood, spices, no fillers. The polish version was more of a goop. Respectometer

If you consume pig testicles but don't recognize that it's pig testicle (i.e., hotdogs), then no, it doesn't count.

[vipbunter]

I yield. I'm a vegetarian so I wouldn't know. But all my meat eating friends joke about the junk that is McDonalds, genre "Hey Olivier we're eating McDonalds, care to tag along? After all it's not real meat you know, merely some derivate of some sorts, so don't worry!".

But I'm not falling for it. My beliefs are unswirving. yessir.

As far as I can remember, only beef testicles have any real size to them. In the US Rocky Mountains and the surrounding areas, beef testicles often are called "Rocky Mountain oysters." This relates to how they are prepared and sort of semi-disguises what you are really eating. I remember them as having a decently close to beef flavor, but a bit stronger. There are said to be macho rituals related to their consumption, but although I grew up in those mountains, I never actually saw any such rituals.

[Prererularl]

Forgot that - yeah, that is most likely pork as well.
