I was perusing my second-favorite ( only to Facebook) website on Monday when I ran across this article written by The Atlantic’s own Tejal Rao. The article entitled, “Spleen, It’s What’s for Dinner” awoke me from an otherwise comatose day in front of the boob tube. You must read this article, if simply to digest my favorite line from this superbly-written hysterical account of the writer trying a spleen sandwich at the urging of her culinary curiosity:
“After a few bites I lift the bun to peek and the sandwich yawns an ancient, meaty stink.”
Sweet Jesus, What the eff????!!!!!
This was THE BEST article I’ve read in awhile. I gotta tell you; I’m recharged again just reading Ms. Rao’s adept descriptions and wry sense of humor. I’m going to try and read all of her articles whenever I can.
Oh for those of you who need to see this in action, I’ve posted this just for you:
I’ve eaten haggis before, and lived to tell about it. I think I’m gonna pass on the spleen.
