gizzards
Bird grinding stomachs
Gizzards are muscular stomach organs in birds and some other animals, used to grind food.
The gizzard compensates for the bird's lack of teeth, crushing seeds and grain with the help of swallowed grit.
Chicken gizzards are eaten as food, often fried or stewed: She made gravy with the gizzards and giblets.
Figuratively, gizzards can mean innards or guts: It stuck in my gizzard.
