A gizzard is a strong, muscular part of a bird’s stomach that breaks food into smaller pieces. Birds have no teeth, so they swallow food whole; the gizzard squeezes and grinds it — often with tiny stones the bird has swallowed — until the food is small enough to digest. Chickens, ducks, and many other birds have one. People also cook and eat chicken gizzard; it is and common on Taiwan snack menus. The word is for birds (and some other animals with the same part), not for a human stomach.
胗、砂囊。台灣口語多說雞胗；中國大陸較常說雞肫。
組成From Middle English gyser, geser, from Old French gesier, giser (modern French gésier), from Latin gigēria (the cooked insides of a bird).
