Offal e şi pe Wikipedia:

***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. People in some cultures shy away from ***offal*** as food, while others may make it everyday food or even delicacies that command a high price.

Burns Night procedure is highly structured. After the guests arrive and take their seats at the table, the chairman (what? don't your dinner parties have a chairman?) asks them to stand and receive the haggis. Everyone rises as the entrée of entrails — haggis is made by stuffing a sheep's heart, liver and lungs along with oatmeal and spices into the stomach lining, so that it looks like an oddly distended football — arrives on a platter, usually with a bagpipe band following behind.

agree  mihaela.: "Entrails" este corect, dupa parerea mea. Intr-un limbaj mai putin formal se poate folosi si "bowels" desi cuvintul se refera, de fapt,l a parti ale aparatului digestiv

Authentic Hungarian and Slovakian offerings (including some rather interesting organ meat dishes) in a relaxed (if somewhat Spartan) beer-hall atmosphere.
http://en.nothingisreal.com/wiki/Budapest_Restaurant_Reviews

The standard sauces (beurre blanc, bearnaise, bechamel) are there, too, as are organ meat dishes (tripe, kidneys, veal tongue) that you might not have made before.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A15928-2004Dec...

Example sentence(s):
  • Variety meats include organ meats, glands, and other meats that are not part of a dressed carcass of beef, veal, lamb, pork, or poultry.
  • They are called heme and non-heme iron. They can be found in red meat, baby spinach, fish, beans, dairy products and organ meats

variety meat


Explanation:
O alta sugestie doar. Merge si organ meat si offal/s la fel de bine. Offal are si o conotatie de resturi, de aruncat.

organ meat

GDT il traduce ca "organ meat"
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. People in some cultures shy away from offal as food, while others may make it everyday food or even 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.

The word shares its etymology with the German word "abfall" (offall in some Western German Dialects such as Luxemburgish), afval in Dutch and affald in Danish. These germanic words mean 'garbage', or - literally - 'fall-off'.
