Local stores and farmers have livers hearts gizzards. When I lived in Detroit the stores had turkey innards.

It's true that not too many grocery chains carry it anymore. Good for your tastebuds, but bad for your arteries due to high cholesterol content.

My retirement depends on everyone eating more chicken: Fried, Stewed, BBQ'd.

They sell less of them these days, so they keep them in the freezer section in grocery stores around here. Same place where the frozen turkeys, ducks and geese are located.

If you are in the South, there should be no problems finding chicken livers.

Maybe this was a Michigan thing but back in the 70's there was a chicken joint called Famous Recipe. Wife and I stopped there alot and one of our favorites was livers and gizzards. We'd get a pint of each to go with our chicken dinners. I agree, it wasn't the best thing for you but we couldn't resist. OTOH, never heard of turkey innards. That' a new one. Then again, did you ever eat the feet and necks? Did when I was a kid.

Chicken foot broth is yummy, I buy the feet locally. I save up necks from chicken and make soup.

Speaking of chicken, has anyone heard of "beer can chicken"? I've never tried it but you take a whole chicken, open a can of beer, stick it up the chicken's butt and set it upright on the grille. Don't know any details about cooking time, etc. but I hear it's great. Has anyone tried this? Think it's a Florida redneck thing.

Ahem. I'm not from Florida, but I've done beer can chicken. It works well as long as you season the chicken well as the beer doesn't add much flavor. It does do a very nice job of adding moisture so you end up with a very tender bird.

I stopped eating livers when someone convinced me they were bad for you. True?

These hybrids are Cornish crosses. These are the chickens you buy at the store since they grow to ~10 lbs in 6-8 weeks!
We got 25 chicks for $0.85 ea. ~4 weeks ago. 3 died, most can't walk well, the legs grow slower than their bodies, and they have to be butchered before 12 weeks or they will die of heart attacks! Still cheaper to go to Costco etc to buy whole chicken since 50lb bags of feed is more expensive than buying truck loads like the large chick houses do. We thought we would give it a try. Next year we will try another breed that does not grow so fast and we will try to free range them. The Cornish Crosses do not forage well (too lazy to walk?).
The Cornish Cross: What is wrong with this picture?!

the russians and others from the poorer european countries say otherwise. but who knows, over there they eat the non-muscle parts because it's cheaper.

The amount of dietary cholesterol has a pretty small impact on serum cholesterol levels. Liver enzymes have more of an effect of cholesterol profile.
That being said, I haven't found chicken livers to be restricted to poor people of any nation. On the contrary, its usually considered to be a delicacy.
While fresh chicken livers are - and should be - available in specialty markets, they are also available frozen in almost all regular supermarkets.

I'm not sure that someone who has enjoyed liver pate or other delicacies would necessarily call it crap. Other "crap" could include escargots, mortadella, morcilla, raw oysters, chicken feet, bone marrow, fish sauce, kimchee, pigs feet or any number of great food that plain jane palates don't necessarily like.
