Have you ever eaten a son of a bitch?

Question

I was flicking through one of my recipe books today and I came across a reference to a old American dish called "son of a bitch".

Basically it's a stew made from a mix of offal from a milk fed calf mixed with half digested milk from it's intestines called marrow gut. It was a popular dish with a lot of variations but the marrow gut was considered essential.

I was wondering if people in the states still eat it and has anyone here tried it?

I’m from pre civil war generational and mass food farmers. Pigs 🐖’ brain 🧠, hooves, grounded intestine and bones or waste hotdogs, livers etc, YES, but never what you have prescribed. That recipe sounds like a dairy 🥛 cow 🐮 producer recipe.
We had enough animals to feed the farms and those residing and working on them. Midwest and Plains grassland crowd…maybe Texas 💪 and bulls

In the American cowboy days that we'd eat that, but since then, we in the United States have developed this field of study known as science. Science, is sort of like what you people would think of as putting leeches on a sick man. Only, over here, it's slightly more advanced. For example, we use the cow's pancreas to make insulin, which is a medicine for diabetics.

Those hicks will eat anything. But what you're alluding to is actually called "sonofabiotch stew"  It's basically offal - American style. Koreans have a similar dish though they grill it instead.

Never heard of it (though not American). Doubt many if any at all eat it, but let me know if you find out.

We were never that poor. thankfully, I never went to bed hungry. But I didn’t know until I was an adult that gravy over bread or gravy over rice was not a common dish.

I watched a man eat a calf's face yesterday. I would not do the same. That's what sausages and paté are meant for!

This is actually part of a divination ritual that also included newt eyes and raven eggs, but the details of the ritual are long-forgotten.
