Last week I had the pleasure of guest hosting Network 10's Studio 10 panel talk show, talking about all things food, current affairs and cooking up my mum's foolproof pork and prawn wontons.
Among the many topics of conversation, it was awesome to have the opportunity to talk about eating the whole beast - that is, if you choose to eat meat then it's my opinion that we should dignify the animal's life by eating as much of it as you can. Offal and secondary cuts aren't a novelty on restaurant menus, but a way of eating that many of us have grown up with...and if you haven't, then I would encourage you to try it. You don't need to dive into something too unfamiliar; perhaps dip a toe in the water by choosing a non prime cut of beef such as skirt steak, shin (a great braising cut), buy a bag of chicken livers and make your own pâté, or you know what? Ox tongue, braised and then chargrilled on the barbecue is pretty goddamn delicious.
