Right, I'm with you, adventurous. I'll try most things, but I'm certainly not running out trying to find tripe to try. I've seen it in the grocery store. It doesn't look gross, but it also doesn't look like something that you'd eat unless you were pretty hungry. I have to assume it was peasant food. I've also never had brains, and they are farther down the list than tripe. I did have tongue (sliced thin) while in the Amazon. It had a good flavor, but I didn't much care for the consistency or something. I grew up eating liver (chicken or calves) which I think is kind of similar. When tongue looks like tongue, that's a pretty major turn-off. I don't know if I've ever eaten heart, but I'd try it. I think even further down the list from brains would be eyeballs and, well, just balls.
