ooof, I also, have only heard the word offal to describe animal waste.

Most Québecois I know are not overly fond of eating beastly internal organs like tripe, kidney or heart. I do have several French (from France) friends who do love these. A lot of people do like liver though.

There is also on concoction that the older generation used to eat a lot of. It is call boudin (boo-dane). It is spiced congealed beef blood in a piece of tripe (like a sausage). It smells absolutely awful while cooking. I am usually game on tasting anything but I just can`t make myself try it. The only thing that comes to mind is a scab and (sorry, I can`t continue, yuck, yuck, yuck).
