The goat’s spleen is more acceptable, considered a delicacy in fact, when cut in sections and wound round with little strips of intestine, with slices of garlic inserted, sprinkled with mountain herbs and olive oil, then grilled on charcoal on wooden skewers.
However it is prepared, the antidote to the spleen is a few drops applied to it from a bottle of wine vinegar in which 50 peeled garlics have been macerating, i e garlic vinegar.
Such preparations occur wherever kid or lamb are freshly killed; above all lights must be fresh. In Apulia a very similar grill is made of lamb’s pluck wound with strips of intestine and known as pnummarieddi.
