Case and point being since you work with brains. WOW! I personally don't like tripe or intestine (kokorec) - and have not and will not taste or eat them at all. It's funny because I grew up with these things around me especially since, my mom makes a killer tripe soup and stuffed intestine. I'm okay eating and preparing certain cuts because thats what I grew up and thats what I'm accustomed to seeing and preparing. Where as here in the US, if you don't see it and know much about it, its not proper to eat. Thank for the comment! & I'm glad you a wonderful time in Turkey.

I've recently been to Turkey and I was really amazed by the abundance of offal there. We nowadays are used to just get several most common cuts of meat and most people forget about offal at all. If kids don't try it then they will be disguisted from it as adults. Though in my family there was no custom of eating offal since I'm fascinated somehow about the topic I started to try it out slowly by myslef - that's how I discovered how delicious liver or hearts can be. On my visit to Turkey I finally tried tripe - though seeing it greenish, soaking in water made me feel pretty weird about it :D But I must admit that kokorec is one of the best street food I had in Istanbul! It is amazing! I wish people would be more interested about those meat parts - because we are killing the animals and then basicaly waste pretty many parts from them and they can be so enjoyable. I must admit though that i never tried and never will try brains. I think its because in my work I deal with glioma - brain cancers and i guess this is what turnes me away from even trying those :D Hi!
