Offal 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. Note that as an English collective noun, the term "offal" is used in the same form for singular and plural — without a final "s." People in some cultures shy away from offal as food, while others use it as everyday food, or even in delicacies that command a high price.
Offal not used directly for human or animal food is often processed in a rendering plant, producing material that is used for fertilizer or fuel.
