Human beings have been applying their mouths to boobies since we crawled out of the primordial slime, and while this sort of behavior is considered acceptable by the very young of our species, it becomes frowned upon when engaged in by adults who continue to practice the nuzzling of the mammary glands for purposes entirely unrelated to caloric nourishment.
This does not mean, however, that the teat should not continue to make an appearance in our diets. Once a beast of burden’s udders have ceased to be of use as the primary source of food for their young and thereafter for milk for us, their bearer may be slaughtered and the udders cut off and cooked for a tasty treat.
Here are two recipes for udders, one savory and one sweet, should you be in the mood to feast on something really maternal and, to most modern American shoppers, highly exotic. Try asking your supermarket butcher for some for an entertaining few minutes before you are escorted from the premises by store security.
