when i went to England in college i was given a guide made by other students. there was a section on dining, and as a tip, someone had included:
"Don't order black pudding."
anything with offal or blood counts as strange or exotic here in the US. even something relatively tame like liver & onions tends to squick people.
i've had pig's feet. never eaten brains...i think i might draw the line there. X3
isaw...it's a bit like a kebab but more earthy/bitter. it's kind of hard for me to describe because there are a lot of flavors involved - it's normal to simmer the intestine in vinegar, then when grilling baste it in soy sauce and banana ketchup. (which is sweet & spicy.)

so, it's a really flavorful kebab. chewier too.
