it didint look like it when i cut it open, i cut open a gizzard before and it was hard and rough. When i cut this open it was a bit softer and it had some weird webbing stuff inside almost like veins. I saw a gizzard in the bag and this one wasint a gizzard. It dose look like one though . I might be wrong though. If you look at the second picture you can see what i mean .
