Welcome to the summary page for FabulousFusionFood's Cook's Guide entry for Abats along with all the trcipes employing Abats presented on this site, with 341 recipes in total.

This is a continuation of an entire series of pages that will, I hope, allow my visitors to better navigate this site. As well as displaying recipes by name, country and region of origin I am now planning a whole series of pages where recipes can be located by meal type and main ingredient. This page gives a listing of all the Abats recipes added to this site.

These recipes, all contain Abats as a major wild food ingredient.

This is the French for offal (hearts, livers, brains, tripe, pancreas, thyroid, tongue, kidneys etc) which the Americans sometimes term 'variety meats'. These are generally high quality meats, in terms of being high in protein and low in fat, but as we have moved further away from the animal and have become more affluent there has been a move away from eating offal. However, this is extremely wasteful and there is a move towards putting more offal-based recipes back in the diet, a move that this website supports.

For the full range of offal-based recipes and dishes see the offal recipes page.
