Isn't It awful?

Offal (pronounced the same as "awful" by many speakers) is a culinary term used to refer to the entrails and internal organs of a butchered animal. The word does not refer to a particular list of organs, but includes most internal organs other than muscles or bones. Depending on the culture, some people shy away from offal as food, while others may make it everyday food or even delicacies.

Offal not used directly for human or animal food is often processed in a rendering plant, producing material that is used for animal feed, fertilizer, or fuel.
