giblets is the name for all the nasty stuff in a bird like the heart, gizzard, liver, neck etc. gizzards are the birds second stomach. I found this out while cutting some up for the tegu and a little rock fell out of one! I googled it and apparently chickens and turkeys have a second stomach used to further digest their food. they swallow pebbles to further grind their food. fascinating. lol
I still can't see how people can eat tongues, necks and organs!! :x
