The story of my trip around the world to train, teach and compete in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and other grappling arts.


Today, I ate an intestine sandwich.

Like traveling, where I want to go strange/dangerous/unknown places, meet locals and stay far away from tourist areas, I don’t mind living life on the edge when it comes to trying new food. At least I’ll taste it and see how it is. So today I had an intestine sandwich. It was chopped up, fried intestines in a piece of bread.

I was a little scared at first when Eren told me about it, but I am glad I tried it, cause it tasted really good. I would definitely eat more intestine sandwiches if I could get them at home :D Unfortunately, it tasted so good that I had eaten it before I thought about taking a picture of it :)

    Gross. Glad it tasted good though… And that is how most seemingly gross food is. It sounds gross so we don’t try it… and if we do work up the nerve it is normally delicious. Plus, everything tastes better fried.

    Nice. When you come to Japan, I’m happy to take you to a intestine BBQ/hot-pot restaurant… :-)

    Intestine … I tried that … boiled and salted … awful … like giant boogers. But it was in central asia, under nomad’s tents. I imagine it can be well cooked.

    I was in Turkey several years ago. You’re right about the food being really good. There was this one time, after a nite out in Antalya, Turkey. My Turkish friends took me to a street cafe. The cafe served the best soup! It was kind of like a chicken broth, but not… Maybe it was the Raki / Ouzo if you’re in Greece. Anyway, I asked what was the soup called. I was expecting the Turkish name. No, they translated for me. It was goat gut soup. I choked for a second, then finnished it. What? it was really good… or maybe it was the Raki / Ouzo if you’re in Greece.

    Hey Masa!

    I was going to say the same thing!

    I absolutely love motsu nabe – intestine hot pot.

    Really amazing food, you should try when you go to Japan.
