Want 100 grams of protein for under $1.50? I have two words for you

chicken gizzards

haha...that cheap? Shit around here (South Carolina) they are everyday food. DDD and Guy was on last night at some restaurant that specializes in them. Haven't had them since I was a kid but if breaded and fried they are good.

How high of a quality are we talking here? I don't think gizzards are a great source of high grade aminos.

 

[mike456]

a pack of gizzards on sale for 1.03 at walmart. 5 servings, 20grams protein each.

i didn't realize people ate those til i was reading a post on Gawker about a recession related story and the measures people were taking. there was one lady in NY that says she bought those in tubs and added it to Ramen.

Damn, i dont think i'll make it when america becomes 3rd world

Be my guest ha ha

How do you eat them? I mean how do you cook them?

 

[Merkaba]

breaded and friend and combinations thereof is the best.

They're good in soup. My mom used to make soup with gizzards and hearts in it. I prefer heart, but if you cook gizzard long enough it's nice and soft.

100g raw gizzard has 18g protein. Not bad!

"Proximate composition and amino acid profile of gizzard is nearly the same as that of chicken meat (Arafa, 1977)"

Makes me sick thinking about putting something in my mouth with a name like GIZZARD. lol

I'll stick to my eggs thank you very much. Can get them for just over a dollar a dozen at Costco - 18 of them (about 1.50) is 98g protein and loads of delicious fat.

I never understood why people think they are disgusting. They are actually delicious if you cook them right. Slow cook them in the oven for about 45 minutes in a tray with onions, potatoes, chicken, and throw some lemonade pepper marinade on it. I wanted more after I finished a huge plate. I have come to the conclusion people get disgusted of it because they are pussy.

Yeah Guy didn't want to heat them! I love gizzards!

We had a place called Famous Receipe that did them pretty well Add some hot sauce Yummy
