Offal. I had lunch today at a place that had "Plate of Offal" on the menu.
Really. And it wasn't a joke.
It was a company lunch at "Eastern Standard" in Kenmore Square. Very fancy, somewhat expensive. And they had offal on the menu.
I had to ask.
"It's made from the parts of the animals that people don't normally use," said the waiter, "like brains."
I considered ordering the meatloaf, but it seemed to me that "meat" in that context could include offal. So I stuck with the pasta.
