Cooking slow in the crock pot is great, comes out like roast beef. I like to marinade and grill heart, comes out like flank steak.
Easy to prepare: cut off the top at the fat line, then trim off the fat and trim out the 'heart strings'. They are like tendons, connective tissue, that connect the heart muscle to the valves in the heart. Tough like silverskin but very easy to trim out when you butterfly the heart lengthwise. Find a youtube video or two to get the visual of what needs to be done. Here's a little info and great recipe.

It is striated like skeletal muscle tissue.
So if trimmed up should be OK, might not get much of a yield though, with a big hole through it
Have never tried it.
This years was blasted w bone/bullet jacket fragments.
As for organs, like liver and other..............not even from domestic animals.
And I spent some of my childhood on the farm.
I did not.... and I love the show. Its nice seeing someones insight into why they hunt. I think theres quite a few hunters with his mindset. But the only ones that get put on TV are the "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BIG BUCK DOWN GLAD I PASSED ON THAT 3000 pointer now I have another 5000 point"Anyone buy the "Meat Eater" cook book that just came out?
