House-made Beef + Bacon Spam, bacon broth
Bacon Heart Attack Dinner Course 4:
Home-made Spam with cippolini onions, fingerling potatoes, bacon broth

Lamb heart tastes much like a steak-foie gras hybrid with an earthy hint of liver. The meat has wonderful tones, is absurdly tender, and would be a conversation starter for anyone who can get out of their own prejudices to try it.
