We went out to eat tonight and randomly picked the place. We walked in and there was no picture menu so we just told them to bring us whatever the other people were having. Turns out, that was cow intestines.
The tables were round with gas burners in the middle. They cooked the cow intestines with onions and radish and then brought it to the burner on the table to finish cooking, It was served with several sides of spicy greens and sesame oil with salt and pepper. The intestine was chewy and had a nice fatty flavor. It wasn't bad, but I don't feel the need to have it again. We also had miso soup with greens and crustaceans and rice with seaweed and spicy greens mixed in. Ian had plain rice and yogurt milk. It was an adventure for sure.
Again, we really need to learn to read.

Intestine has to be better than liver! I got sent to Germany unexpectedly, cold turkey on the street, no training, and ended up getting liver a couple of times with the 'go for the special' technique of ordering. Smells great - tastes horrible! ;-D Ah well. Gotta be adventurous! And you end up with some great stuff!
Yes, it is more fun to try things than play it safe.
