Kokoreç

There's a section in the Rick Steves guide to Istanbul devoted to street food. Along with mussels,kebabs and sandwiches, you can also get something called Kokoreç.

Kokoreç is basically grilled sheep intestines, seasoned, and served with tomatoes and peppers. I don't know how it tastes, but I aim to eat one of these bad boys. Hold the tomato.

Could it be any worse than balut? Or cuy? I doubt it. I'll try most foods, especially if they're sold by street vendors. Am I crazy? Probably.

Has anyone had Kokoreç ? What's it like? Should I be warned?
