Giblets.

[ummmm]

Do you use them or bin them?

Before I went to bed last night I took out of the freezer what I thought was a small joint of beef. Went to the fridge to get it ready to be cooked and it's duck giblets...

Do you use them? If so what for?

[woofgang]

potted meat? gravy, treat for the dog or cat.

[ummmm]

The cats eating this lot but I have another 4 in the freezer.

[tonyav]

Sling them and get that crackling in the oven lol.

[Barmaid]

Only for making stock. And then the cats get to eat the cooked stuff.

[DTCwordfan]

stock.....

[humbersloop]

stock also

[ummmm]

Just boil them up with the normal stock ingredients?

I'm having pork tonight, Tony :-)

[boxtops]

Bin them - certainly not! Good eating in giblets, even if it's only for gravy, then on to the furry people :-)

[woofgang]

if you want to make stock with them, you can freeze the stock.

[tonyav]

Doh.

[TobyLaRhone]

Gravy, stock.
Don't throw them - its wasteful.
If you have four more and the liver is there make a small pot of duck liver pâté.
Delicious!
Or just enjoy the pan fried liver.

[McMouse]

Stocks or finely chopped/minced and added to chicken soups/stews, gumbo etc.

[coccinelle]

They make alicot out of them in France. Not my cup of tea though!

[friedgreentomato]

I would normally use them for stock but I did a bit of googling ofr your and found this site :-

Looks interesting

[TobyLaRhone]

Yes it does fgt.
Nice one!

[ummmm]

See that Helen.

Toby, I have no intention of throwing them away, that's why they're in the freezer...I might try the livers :-)

Triggs - man up!

Thanks everyone. I don't usually make my own stock.

[DTCwordfan]

You make soup though, so yoour own homemade stock ought to be delish in one. The stock is dead easy to make.

[ummmm]

Yes, I do make soup.

Making stock is always something I plan to do but when I have say, a chicken carcass, I never seem to have the rest of the ingredients, so I always end up binning it.

[shoota]

A chicken carcass with a pinch of salt and pepper will still make good stock, better with an onion and a stick of celery, but to just bin it? ........Ummmm!
