My last Tasty Tidbit led to a lot of guessing about the chicken dish I made a few weeks back.Was it coq au vin, maybe coq au Riesling?
And, as spacedlaw put it: "Not too sure about what the purply-pink things are supposed to be..."
Well, they were not only "supposed to be" but actually were chicken gizzards, inspired by a chicken, turnip and gizzard stew first presented by Ken of Living the life in Saint Aignan.
I really hoped Ken might recognize the dish, although I didn't have turnips and our final results do look pretty different. The funny thing is that one of his faithful readers, who occasionally drops by my blog but had never commented, made the connection from Canada.
Whatever the story, the stew was delicious, and finally gave me something to do with a packet of frozen chicken gizzards that had been languishing in the freezer for a few months.

The gizzards make me thind of when my bro-in-law came to visit and we made gizzards and put them on a salad and didn't tell him what they were. He ate them.
After we told him what they were, he writhed in pain and anguish on the couch for the rest of the afternoon.
We have it on video for blackmail, proving that he was a wimp when he came to see us in France.

lol
That's a funny story! In my American family, we always snarfed up the chicken "giblets," though --I liked gizzards even as a child!
Were they raw gizzards or confits?
(or even pickled? I saw some pickled ones when in Minnesota and wondered what they were like)
You know, at first I said they weren't confit but I'm thinking maybe they were. I had actually got them free from my frozen food delivery service!
Oh qu'il y a de belles couleurs dans ton assiette Betty...Merci du message rayon de soleil que tu apportes et je te souhaite un bon week-end...à tout bientôt.
Sorry, Betty, I haven't been reading much lately. It looks delicious. Those gésiers must have been confits or they would have been very tough without hours and hours of cooking. Ken
We hardly eat gizzards at all here in the UK and at our market stall in London's Borough Market they are not exactly leaping off the shelves. I will try this recipe however which sounds delicious.
