My Heart Will Go On…..To Your Plate: Have a Heart for Valentine’s Day

Have a heart this Valentine’s day…literally. Perhaps the most uncommonly used organ meat, heart can be delicious when carefully prepared. Here are a few photos of heart dishes, along with links and recipes, from around the internet. So return that box of chocolates and grab a heart from your local butcher!

Growing up I used to love chicken hearts. These days I’m vegetarian, but I love learning about adventurous food. Now I’m just left with empty curiosity about eating hearts.
