gobbets
Bits of flesh
Gobbets are chunks or lumps, especially of raw flesh or meat.
The word carries a visceral quality—you wouldn't call ice cream or bread a gobbet.
In academic contexts, gobbets are short excerpts from texts given to students for analysis or commentary: The exam included six gobbets from primary sources.
