The steak isn't really enough on its own to generate the really rich gravy with which the pastry base and sides are soaked  :mmm:

Guys, we're past the level of subsistance eating, we can discard offal happily.

I would happily eat beef and chicken liver and pate if it didn't give me gout, the most ridiculous of human ailments.

Because there's plenty of nicer stuff to be had?

On a semi related topic, it seems I'm travelling to Liverpool next week for work, any tips about sightseeing or places to visit?

There is plenty of profit in not discarding offal.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

If you discard offal, who's next?
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Offal should really come back in eco conscious times. Haggis certainly seems to be becoming trendy.

You will take my stuffed lambs hearts over my cold dead body... :contract:

On a more serious note, why the hatred for offal - Kidney is delicious, as is heart, and liver is bearable albeit not something I would go out to buy.

Of course, I may be a little biased by my upbringing - my grandfather used to render down a pig's head to make brawn when I was a kid.

Liver is the only innard I really enjoy. Fried, with fried onions and some apple sauce. :mmm:
