The Awful

While all parts of the lambs contain omega-3 fats, the internal organs, including the kidneys, liver, intestines, gonads, and brain are the richest source of these nutrients. They also harbor high concentrations of other vitamins and minerals, including iron, folic acid, vitamins A and D, and zinc. They probably get their biggest boost of omega-3s from lamb offal during the slaughter season that takes place each fall, long after most fair weather tourists like myself are safely back in their own countries. However, it was not sure if it could stomach one of the most celebrated indigenous specialties: svio, or lamb brain, singed in the shell. It should be noted that while organ meats are nutrient rich, they are also calorie rich; therefore, I recommend keeping your servings on the smaller side.
