Giblets is a culinary term used to refer to the internal organs of poultry carcasses â namely, the heart, liver, and gizzard. The origin of the word comes from gibier, which is the Old French word for game..
A gizzard is a part of a birdâs stomach. The gizzardâs walls are thick and made up of muscle. When a bird eats, the food goes through the esophagus and into the crop (a pouch-like structure). From the crop, food enters the first part of the stomach, called the proventriculus, and the process of digestion begins. The gizzard contains grit, sand or small stones and is the second part of a birdâs stomach. These small stones pulverize food. Interestingly, all birds have gizzards, some insects and reptiles also have them.
