    Yeah, I grew up rural so when we needed beef, we had an uncle butcher a cow.

    Extended family would split it between a couple households in deep freezers, but organ meat was always fucking contentious because we were all hillbillies.

    At one point there was a waiting list for hearts, and we even tried a raffle system.

    It’s all supply and demand, there’s a shit ton of beef in a cow, there’s a lot less of every organ. So if people get a taste for something, it goes from “trash” to “premium” real quick.

      When i was a kid kangaroo was cheap meat so that’s what we used to eat a lot of.

      Then it somehow became popular and now it costs 60 cents more per kg then beef $14.60 vs $14.00
