It's Just Offal

The Asian supermarkets in our area are offering a wider variety of offal, i.e., parts of the animal that are not part of the mainstream American diet. (As noted yesterday, even Costco is selling chicken feet.)

99 Ranch has beef aorta, a cut I had never seen, much less eaten, before. I searched for recipes online but found only a couple; Google also helpfully displayed recipes for beef heart, which is quite different from aorta despite their proximity in the animal.

My curiosity is piqued, however. If I ever do see aorta on the menu, I'll give it a try.
