How it's used
Refers specifically to the edible internal organs of animals, most commonly found in the iconic street food dish known as 牛雜. It is rarely used as a standalone noun in modern speech, functioning almost exclusively as a suffix attached to the animal source. The term carries a strong association with traditional Hong Kong street food culture and local comfort eating.
Examples
The beef entrails from the street stall are very flavorful.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the adjective 雜, which means miscellaneous or mixed. When used as a suffix for food, it specifically denotes offal rather than a general mixture of ingredients.
