Lips is right, your one sick puppy. I still like bacon though. In fact who want to go get some chicken fried bacon right now. I'm hungry. Feelin about a quart low on cholesterol.

Bacons are not made from the heart, silly boy.
Even though every part of a pig is edible, heart isn't very tasty. I don't really like the taste of the heart. I prefer stomach, intestines, kidney, ears and scalp.
Smoked pig butt can be very good as well.
Usually I'm not a big fan of the liver, but liver dumpling soup is very very tasty.

I work for Kraft Foods (we own Oscar Mayer) so we kill our fair share of pigs.

Now Jello is made in a pretty interesting fashion - anyone know?

My relatives supply your employer the meat, of course we know.
Let's just say Jello is not a vegetarian food.

Isn't Jello made with gellatin. . .which if I'm correct comes from fibrous material like fingernails, hair, parts of bone, ....?

Am I anywhere close?

Let me clear up the meaning to my words. I thought the gelatin was made up of the what I described in the following statement: ". . .which if I'm correct comes from fibrous material like fingernails, hair, parts of bone, ....?

Am I anywhere close?"

Sure gelatin can be made from those...but what's easier to process?
Animal fat and pig skin?
or bones......
