Viscera and trimmings of a butchered animal often considered inedible by humans. But in fact, they are very delicious, I like them very much.

In China, a lot of snacks are made in the viscera, for examples, Quick-Fried Tripe, Fried Liver, etc.

The duck liver and sheep viscera are two delicious too, people would like relish them and drink firewater in winter.

Duck Liver: The geese or ducks are forced-fed until their livers expended to 20 times their normal size. Many of them died during forced feeding.

It is a very cruel way of obtaining the livers of these animals.

Sheep Viscera: Sheep’s intestines, liver and the other viscera with soy sauce, mashed garlic, starch, aniseed etc as seasonings. These foods really delicious and expensive.
