Would you eat beef hearts?

Yesterday I looked at the ingredients on a package of smoked sausage I purchased recently, and to my surprise saw that the third ingredient was beef hearts. [xx(]

I hate throwing food away, but the thought of beef hearts just set my stomach on edge. I had already eaten a few, and had noticed that they had a funny texture. I couldn't bring myself to eat any more... I just kept imagining a truck load of beef hearts being dumped into a grinder. Nasty.

Just curious. Would this dissuade you from eating them?

    I've eaten them, and not bad if you know how to cook it, which I don't, but I remember grandma did.

    I routinely keep a couple of hearts from deer that I shoot. I like them sliced up and fried.

    I have eaten caribou tounge in Norway and it was delicious.

    Personally I love beef heart... sliced and fried it makes a fine sandwich But the absolute best use for it is to grind twice and make hot dog chili sauce out of it...............Yummy!!!

    I almost forgot, I've eaten....well lets just say some bad tuna during a good night out. So what the heck, everything mentioned here has to be better than what I've eaten before.[xx(][:D]

    Liver, heart, kidney, tongue, brain, my mother prepared them all and in our poor immigrant household of my childhood their low costs made a welcome addition to our diets. I still enjoy liver but I have not eaten the other organs in many years.

    Hunter Mag,
    Just because the tuna you "ate"[:p] smelled dead, doesn't mean it fits into the topic of things people have actually eaten[:D] Really, I like the taste of deer heart, a cows heart can't be much different.

    I have eaten beef heart and it is good. I also like kishke (gut or blood sausage). Growing up in a ethnically Polish house and having a frugal grandmother, you eat some interesting meats.

    If you ever read what goes into "scrapple" you'll never eat it again. I do know - pig snouts for one, pig ears another - but I love the stuff pan fried with eggs over easy.

    I would and I have and I will again. Beef, deer, elk and any other cloven hoof critter is ok. Tongue is also very good.

    you betcha I have! I like that tuna... but when it's good, it's good, when it's bad, it's baaad. [xx(]

    I was with this one chick in a motel and I thought I'd try out something I saw in a movie... aahh.. skip that part. anyways, I had a pop from Burger King. I found out it helps to take a sip every once in a while.

    ...no, I'm not an "organ" type person. I ALWAYS check the label for "strange" things such as hearts, chicken peckers, "processed parts", on sauage and weenies and the like, avoid when possible.

    ...Was fed breakfast once, bacon, bisquits and eggs...eggs were a little darker yellow than the "norm"...just figured it was since 30 minutes earlier they had just popped out of the chickens butt and fresh egg yolks are a lot darker than those bought at the store...but oh nooo!

    ...after I got thru I was ask how I liked calf brains [:0]...they were fine, a little richer than eggs, but ok. I just choose not to eat organs for the most part. Now I do like calf fries, and calf liver...once in awile.

    ...No "yuck" factor to any of it, just not a big fan...[;)]

    Eaten it.

    Its like a mediocre cut of beef.

    (Like anything) tastes better grilled, and for what its worth, its better than some of those cheapo leather-like cuts.

    Sure, I'd eat it again, but I'd rather have the sirloin!

    Mosin--Antelope, deer, and elk hearts are delicous. They are the treats of the kill like the liver from the deer and elk. Also bird hearts. My mom always cooked beef hearts when I was young and they were good too.

    What about embryo duck hearts? In the Phillipines some folks would bury, typically, duck eggs in the sand for the incubation period to continue, and when the embryo is almost fully formed it is known as a Balut. Prior to eating one of these delicacies of which the heart has to be a big plus, first sip the egg's fluid from the egg's shell, and then add a touch of salt prior to nibbling away. I've been told these things stink beyond belief, but other than that, they are really good!
