Chicken Gizzard Soup
So I have to confess, I do actually like chicken gizzards, probably something I shouldn’t say out loud or in polite company. Because I understand people come down pretty hard one way or the other on them — there’s no in-between opinion.
I had some friends over for a barbecue one afternoon and offered them some chicken gizzards as an appetizer. My friend Marty declined with an unambiguous opinion that “what was inside the chicken should STAY inside the chicken.” I took that as a no.
Anyhow, I haven’t had or cooked Chicken Gizzard soup – it just seemed like a fun idea for a cartoon. I’ll probably find out this is some French delicacy I’ve been unaware of all these years – I mean, after all, if you like snails, I don’t see chicken gizzards as a big stretch from there.

Unlike the majority of Presidential hopefuls, I STAND by my original position! I must confess, however, that snails cooked in a good garlic/butter sauce is something I do enjoy.
