Not being the one to let things go to waste, the last time I went in on a cow with some friends, I ended up with a bunch of odd cuts (heart, liver, etc). I've got some deliciousness in the crockpot tonight. It's my first attempt at making lengua tacos.
It got me to thinking that I could satisfy my inner curious cook and save some money by asking for unpopular cuts from the butcher. Being cajun I grew up on boudin blanc as a kid but I'd love to try to make some boudin noir (blood pudding) though I think it would be difficult to source pig blood..
Does anyone do this? any recipes to share or tricks to get what I want? Could I go to a butcher or see if I can buy direct from a slaughterhouse?
