When you kill an animal for food, i feel you have a responsibility to use any and all consumable pieces. Any piece of an animal, prepared and cooked properly, can taste quite good. I've always liked offal, but more importantly, i think there is an obligation to eat more of it. It's a matter of respect. It is a double-edged sword though. Imagine if something like heart were to become de rigueur. You'd suddenly have an issue of scarcity (only one per animal, as opposed 100's of lbs of meat), and the end result would likely be more slaughtering, or (the horror), some new hormones designed to enlarge the heart to maximize return on a slaughtered animal, the way chicken breasts are handled these days. Ugh. There is some hope for society though. Yesterday's cast offs (squid, for example) are considered mainstream today. Maybe offal will reach the same kind status in the next generation. I doubt it, but maybe :) I think the whole concept of offal is really to do with the latter statement you make – IE cutting down on waste.
