The Mathematics of Boneless Pork Rectums (wmbriggs.com)

What, that some people will utilize the whole animal?

They're tasty, and they're made of meat. Who cares? The rectum is just an extension of the intestines, and intestines are used for all kinds of stuff.

No, another argument for people getting to know their food better. Last year I made curry'd chicken gizzards and hearts. I had trouble finding the parts as most butchers dispose of them. I found some frozen in a small market near our town and prepared and cooked them for the family. Unfortunately, none of the family would join me in my meal so I ate them by myself.

Chewy, a bit cartilaginous, but not bad. I guess if you braise them long enough they become quite tender. I saved the remainder and had them later over the span of a month.

It was a fun experiment but I've not the guts to go after many of the other parts that most people pass over like the lungs and brain.
