When did the United States stop dining from "nose to tail?" It amuses me that one of the latest crazes is "nose to tail" dining. Haven't we loved Bologna, Salami and Hot Dogs for ages? What about Head Cheese and Souse? Have Scrapple and Tongue disappeared? Aren't sausages of all kinds part of our food vocabularies? Didn't they serve fried liver and onions in the school cafeteria? Remember pickled pigs feet, chopped chicken liver, stuffed derma? Sauteed calves brains were still on the menu at the Cave Henri IV in the '60s.
At first thought, I guessed things changed after the great migration to the cities. But wait, I am a city person, born and bred. Yet, these foods were part of my childhood and adolescence. What's up? Where did they go, that they now have to be rediscovered? Please advise.
