Anyone ever try "escargot"?

I quite like Tripe.
While I have not eaten it myself, I did check on the cholesterol contents of brains once long ago that I believe is one of the ingredients in the scrubbed up stomach bag that is the container of all different things in tripe. The cholesterol content was astronomical, so no wonder some like it since I think sometimes the unhealthier the food, the tastier it is.
The reason for checking by the way was that I lived in South Africa at the time and they had a dish similar to Tripe that some of the (wife's) family members enjoyed occasionally. Not sure about spelling but it was something like "Affal".
 
Almost forgot, the worst thing I ever had to eat on a regular basis was "blood pancakes" at what was then called the folkschool in Finland. That was the school before the secondary school and before they went into this straight 12 year system.
Each weekday the kids got the same thing. Thursdays was pea soup and I think it was Tuesdays when we had to eat those blood pancakes. Made from pure blood. I think it is called black pudding in England. Usually just stuffed them in the mouth, ran out and spat them out.
