At the cost of looking foolish - growing up with grandmothers (love you both you absolute gems, peace be with you 
) that had to make do during the second world war, I was taught to eat almost everything, as many of their recipes came from literally eating anything barely edible but cooked long enough and with enough spices to make it pleasant- or pleasant adjacent.
So, while I still cannot fathom to eat brain soup (oh boy do I have a story about it) or other specific animal bits, stuff like this chitterlings I would totally try.
CAVEAT : I do not like to be in the kitchen as they cook as it is admittedly some of the foulest smells everā¦
I even got to admit haggis is definitely not as bad as itās portrayed.
( except surstrƶmming, that is literally the worst of the worst- personally. No offense meant)

I guess it is like a lot of āfoodā. If you donāt see it getting prepared or cooked, and it tastes, but more importantly smells good, it is fine. And as you say, if you have enough condiments (Tabasco FTW), even a āMREā can be made edible.
I might have posted this story elsewhere here? But eating in a Navy mess one time. Lashings of food and much more variety for breakfast than you would ever see in an Army mess.
One young lass who was with us sat down at the table and said something along the lines of - āIsnāt this cool, they have chicken nuggets for breakfastā. After one bite, she said, āthese nuggets are OK but they taste a bit funny.ā and proceeded to eat another one.
One of the other guys, couldnāt help himself and told her that they werenāt chicken nuggets but crumbed (sheep) brains.
Poor girl. She nearly made it outside before bringing them up.

Yes, considered a delicacy in some parts. Hereās a recipe if you are keen to try them:

Some people (e.g my grandmother), soak them overnight in buttermilk instead of water.
Cooked right (and if you donāt know what you are eating) they can be quite tasty.
The same can be said of Rocky Mountain Oysters.

Reminds me of a joke I read on BlueSky - Itās amazing how Americans eat like they have free healthcare.
That saidā¦ Iād take one per type. Twice. I just know I want it.

Only twice? Yeah, I canāt make up my mind eitherā¦ I think I would be starting with the chowder and coming home from a visit to NYC weighing at least 50lbs more and a cholesterol problem.

I know right?!
In my defense, even if I get back to Germany 50kg heavier, I still do get free Healthcare.

LOL! I did renege on not being hungry, and went to try one. It was so much better than I was hoping, that I gave up and had a few.

Alrighty, this randomly popped up on my YouTube feed and i ended up watching it a couple of times in sheer disbelief.
Imagine the thought process necessary to come up with this.
