Yes, we greeks call it guts soup, haha, personally I dont like to eat it, but a lot of people I know think its very tasty and delicious. I guess thats why we are individuals with different tastes.
you would so change your mind if you tasted it first. I m a chef and i never thought something made of those things would taste so amazingly yummy
