Son-of-a-bitch is the "most infamous*" of dishes from the chuckwagon era, consisting mainly of the cow parts you're never going to see at a steakhouse: the heart, brains, tongue, kidney, marrow-guts, etc., according to Robb Walsh's "The Texas Cowboy Cookbook."
Chuck wagon cook Cliff Teinart has his own recipe for son-of-a-bitch, and also knows some of the less offensive names of the dish: son-of-a-gun, SOB, gentleman from Odessa.
Gentleman from Odessa?
"Because, anywhere else, a gentleman from Odessa would be called a son-of-a-bitch," Teinert said.
*I don't see it beating calf fries, but we all have our opinions.
