Giblets
Giblets are the edible
offal of a
fowl, typically including the
heart,
gizzard,
liver, and other
visceral organs. The term is
culinary usage only;
zoologists do not refer to the "giblets" of a bird. Giblets is pronounced with a "soft g" sound as opposed to a "hard g", as in gizzard.A whole bird from a
butcher is often packaged with the giblets (sometimes sealed in a bag in the body cavity). Although it does not technically fit the definition above, the
neck is often included with the giblets, as it must be separated from the body during the process of butchering. There are a number of recipes that use giblets. If a bird is to be stuffed, the giblets are traditionally chopped and added to the
stuffing. If not, they can be used for other purposes, such as giblet pie. The liver is not usually included in these recipes, as its strong flavor tends to overpower other ingredients. It may be used in liver-specific recipes, such as
pâté or
yakitori. Giblets can also be used to make
alicot, a
French stew.
