It's a kidney...it's a lung...no, it's.......a GIZZARD!

It was almost enough to make me into a vegetarian.

Chicken gizzards. Ew. Just, ew.

Actually the flavor was better than the cooked liver (not sure what species) from back in the fall...but in terms of gross meats, the ranking now goes:
1. Cooked liver
2. Chicken gizzard
3. Raw sheep liver, fresh out of the sheep

Yes, raw liver has fallen back to third.

If we're also including gross meat dishes (as in not just pieces of meat) I'd have to include kholodets (pig jello) in this list, and probably khash (hot gelatinous substance made from cows' legs and consumed with garlic and copious amounts of vodka) but I've never actually had khash, so as gross as it sounds, I must reserve judgement.

In other news, the weather continues springlike, if a bit gray and dreary. I also thought about buying a pair of blue boots yesterday, but upon trying them on, they proved, sadly, to be quite uncomfortable. So no boots.

And that's pretty much it at the moment. Tune in next time to find out about the holiday where people jump over fires......
