#2 ...and zinc. Actually, from a nutritional viewpoint, pretty darn good chow.

The Lebanese supermarkets in London don't seem to have any problem getting their hands on the things.

#6 My grandfather raise cattle in Colorado. Bulls "convetrted" to steer every spring.
My mother refused to try them, but aunts/uncles/cousins say they have the texture of chicken gizzards or hearts, with a flavor sort of that of roast beef (fried with butter and onions).

#12 Ate 'em in '76 at a high class cattleman's restaurant in Phoenix. Didn't taste much as I preceeded and followed the morsel with a shot of vodka. (I was a very young stockbroker at the time and a client forced this delicacy upon me...)
