The shoppers on the TV news look like such slobs. No wonder the middle class is shrinking. More and more people are so vulgar and debased as not to be deserving of middle-class status.

My theory is not that the middle class is shrinking because of the machinations of evil rich people, but that it is shrinking because more and more people are choosing not to engage in the behaviors of middle-class people, but are choosing instead to behave like low-class slobs. As they sow, so they reap.

Odd Bits: How to Cook the Rest of the Animal by Jennifer McLagan

Book description:

In a world of costly prime cuts--stately crown roasts, plump pork chops, and regal racks of lamb--it's easy to forget about (and steer clear of) the more economical, but less lovable parts of the beast--bellies, brains, cheeks, combs, gizzards, hearts, hocks, kidneys, lungs, marrow, necks, shanks, spleens, tongues, trotters, and, oh yes, testicles.
Historically, these so-called odd bits have had a regular place on our plates and in our culinary repertoires. In fact, many are considered delicacies and routinely appear in regional specialties. So why do we eschew and waste valuable protein? When have our sensibilities become so squeamish? In short--when did we decide offal had become awful?
Jennifer McLagan, award-winning author of Bones and Fat, is on a crusade to bring the nose-to-tail style of cooking and eating out of the closet and back onto to our dining tables. Her mission: restoring our respect for the whole animal, developing a taste for its lesser known parts, and learning how to approach them in the kitchen as confidently as we would a steak or a burger.
Serious food lovers will delight in the sheer variety of the dishes that await, ranging from simple to challenging:

Headcheese for the Unconvinced

Veal Cheeks with Swiss Chard and Olives

Cheese and Just a Little Brain Fritters

Lamb Neck with Quince and Turnip

Brisket Braised with Caramelized Onions and Chile

Sweetbreads with Morels and Fresh Fava Beans

Moroccan-Style Braised Heart

Minted Tripe and Pea Salad

Wild Boar Shanks with Cranberries and Chocolate

Bone Marrow and Mushroom Custard
