Jon has a friend who is Thai. His Mom is a fantastic cook. He called today and told us to bring a couple plastic storage containers with us when we came out to their place this evening. Jon had a CD he was gonna drop off to him. His friend had made chicken soup and steamed rice. Have you ever heard of anyone making chicken soup with the chicken hearts and gizzards? It had whole cloves of garlic floating in it with parts of the chicken I normally save for my brother in laws dogs. It tasted strongly of fish sauce, cilantro and kaffir lime leaves.

I know since they are asian they are going to make chicken soup much different than I would but that soup was terrible. I made Thai chicken soup once with coconut milk and don't remember the recipe calling for gizzards and hearts. I took the soup outback and tossed it out. I kept the rice. I will use it to make fried rice in a few days. His Mom and Dad seemed to really like his recipe which is all that matters I guess lol.

Too bad, janie- and it seemed there was so much potential, too! What a shame...

I hope some cold starving dog got to enjoy it! It sounds perfectly awful for human consumption, though I know alot of people would probably like it. Just not me I do not care for liver PERIOD!!!! It just makes my gag reflex act up and my tummy gets queasy and so I take no chances eating it.

I don't think that "organ meats" are actually that good for you either.

I have heard they are not! I have read up on it, and understood what they were talking about as I read it, but straight way forgot all that I read, and really only remembered that I felt HAPPY as could be to read they were not good to eat as once thought!!! That was really all I needed to remember!

yuck , Couldn`t pay me enough to eat that LOL

Good call Janie, I wouldn't eat it either.

Shame that socially modified taste preferences and fads would alter the acceptance of a valuable food item. I wouldn't recommend a daily dose of organ meats in the sedate life style we all live by today, but consumption occasionally is important to replenish the body with very essential vitamins and minerals.

One such vitamin that I found out about and researched is Vitamin K2 (not regular K) along with Cod Liver Oil that acts as the activator.

There are tons of strays cats around this building and even racoons and ground hogs. I see the soup is still laying on the ground out back untouched by any of them lol.
I'm not one to waste food but that was just terrible.

I did find out that they did not have a Thanksgiving dinner which upset me. His Mom was getting over knee replacement and his Dad is disabled. His Dad told me he went to the local deli and bought some turkey and dressing. His Dad is also scheduled for a heart cath a couple days before Christmas. I am def going to make sure and take them some holiday dinner. I wish I had for Thanksgiving but Jon and I assumed they were going to their daughters who lives a couple of counties over. Their son who lives with them would have to sober up and get out of bed before 2pm to make dinner.
