Scrapple sandwich at the Delaware state fair

Offal is the entrails and internal organs of a butchered animal. The word does not refer to a particular list of organs, but includes most internal organs other than muscles or bones. Depending on the cultural context, offal may be considered as waste material that is thrown away, or as delicacies that command a high price. Offal not used directly for human or animal food is often processed in a rendering plant, producing material that is used for animal feed, fertilizer, or fuel.

Asia

In China, many organs and animal-parts are used for food or traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Since pork is the most consumed meat in China, popular pork offal dishes include stir-fried cleaned pork kidneys with oyster sauce, ginger and scallions, "Wu Geng Chang Wang" a spicy stew with preserved mustard, tofu, pork intestine slices and congealed pork blood cubes. Deep fried pork intestine "Zha Fei Chang" slices and dipped in a tianmianjiang sauce is popular as street hawker food. Pork tongue slices with salt and sesame oil is also a common dish, especially in Sichuan province. Braised pork ear strips in soy sauce, Wu Xiang spices and sugar is a common "cold plate" appetizer available as hawker food or in major Asian Supermarkets, such as Dahua Ranch 99. Cleaned pork stomach roasted primarily in sugar and soy sauce then sliced is a popular "Hong Kong BBQ" style food. Finally, pork liver slices served stir fried with onions or in soups is another hawker food (as Chinese regard offal food as "blue collar" food or food for workers and laborers). Pork blood soup is at least 1000 years old during the Northern [Song Dynasty], when the quintessential Chinese restaurant and eateries became popular. Pork blood soup and dumplings jiaozi were recorded as food for night laborers in Kaifeng. Despite a common Westerners' disgust for these dishes due to cultural unfamiliarity and sanitary concerns, these offal items are very well cleaned. The pork intestines' tough inner skin (which is exposed to bolus and pre-fecal materials) is completely removed. Then, the intestine is exhaustively soaked, cleaned and rinsed.

Westerners are most familiar and perhaps most interested (stemming from 19th century Western popularization) with the perceived exotic and strange offal usages in traditional Chinese items. The roots of traditional Chinese medicinal concept are a combination of Taoist and rural folk beliefs. The idea of essences and energy, heat and cold, are key. Snake blood wine with a live heart is thought to promote stamina due to the "essences of energy and heat", which is derived from a snake's attributes, such as aggressive behavior (fiery) and venom potency (energy). When bears were more common in the Chinese northeast, bears claw and dried bear offal were used as medicines, believed as a source of vitality. Dry deer antlers is still a common medicine, thought to provide "the essences of heat energy" to cure "cold-based" illnesses, such as influenza and coughing. Western popularization of peculiar items, such as eyes, brains and penises (especially the latter) are not popular in mainstream Chinese consumption and quite rare. Pork brains were consumed and thought to promote intelligence (the folk belief that consumption of an organ enhanced the corresponding human organ or part), and Chinese often consume the fish's eyes in the famous Jiangnan dish called fish head stew or in other fish dishes, such as braised or steamed fish.

The Chinese mainland contains primarily more basic use of offal that is comparable to many European usages. Beef tripe, for example is cleaned and used as a cold dish appetizer mixed with soy sauce, sesame oil, chilies and other spices.

In Japan chicken offal is often skewered and grilled over charcoal as yakitori, to be served alongside drinks in an izakaya (Japanese food-pub). Offal originating from cattle is also an ingredient in certain dishes (see yakiniku).

Japanese do prefer to consume seafood offal, since seafood is considered to be much more sanitary and pure since salt and water are considered pure and cleansing elements.

US and Canada

In the United States, the giblets of chickens, turkeys and ducks are much more commonly consumed than the organs of mammals, except for the liver, which is quite commonly eaten by people.

Australia

In Australia offal is most commonly consumed in meat pies, or in ethnic dishes. Food regulations since 2003 have lifted the prohibition of offal in the meat standard, which had previously specifically banned things such as snout, genital organs, lips, lungs and scalp. These may now be added to foods, but must be named specifically in the ingredients list (not just as "offal").^[1] The food standard also allows meat pies to contain snouts, ears, tongue roots, tendons and blood vessels without specific labelling.

Food safety issues

The offal of certain animals is unsafe to consume:

• The liver of the polar bear is unsafe to eat because it is very high in vitamin A and can cause hypervitaminosis A, a dangerous disorder. This has been recognized since at least 1597 when Gerrit de Veer wrote in his diary that, while taking refuge in the winter in Nova Zembla, he and his men became gravely ill after eating polar-bear liver.[1]
• The internal organs of the Fugu pufferfish are highly toxic — in Japan, fugu can only be prepared by trained master chefs, working under extremely strict regulations, sanitary conditions, and licensing. Even a residual portion of fugu toxin can be fatal.[2]
• Some animal intestines are very high in coliform bacteria and need to be washed and cooked thoroughly to be safe for eating.
• Nervous system tissue can be contaminated with TSE prions, which cause bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, “mad cow disease”); in some jurisdictions these offal are classified as specified risk materials and are subject to special regulations.[3]
• Offal very high in purines can precipitate an acute attack of gout in someone with the condition.
• The practice of feeding raw offal to dogs on farms and ranches can spread echinococcosis, a potentially fatal parasitic disease of animals and humans.
