Opke - soup made from goat heads and intestines. The goopy soup is seriously popular in Xinjiang, probably more than the Rolling Stones 1973 album Goats Head Soup. Opke doesn't look appetizing, especially when the goat's eye sockets are staring stright up at you. It doesnt taste too bad, kinda like a thick salty broth. But chomping on the intestines that come with it just aint right. I'm used to eating tripe in other Asian dishes, but when even my host family couldn't identify bits in my bowl, I just chucked it!

yeesh! just eat the meat people, leave the organs alone.... jeez!

I can't stand the thought of eating any kind of organ meat... not even liver. My husband on the other hand loves menudo (sp?), a Mexican dish made with beef tripe. A friend of his went to Mexico last week and brought him some back.

I love menudo, but we use pork and liver not tripe plus potatos and red bell pepper, etc.

OK - Yuck on pretty much every food listed here...including shellfish.
I think that maybe if I was eating some sort of cajun food and I had no idea what it was I'd probably be able to get thru it.... only because cajun is so dang spicy you don't taste anything anyways.

I'm not really into "odd foods" If it aint beef, pork or chicken... I dont want any. LOL And if it had more than 4 legs... EWW!

NOW-- If you were gonna PAY me to eat it, I might have second thoughts.

i wouldnt eat that goop again even if somebody paid me. adventurous pallete? sure I have one but I aint gonna repeat a mistake twice. a glutton for punishment im not.
