True, but they eat the WHOLE animal, it is not the meat and the fat that contain most of the nutrients. It's the organs, eyeballs, tongue and all the stuff we do not really eat as a society.
Beef tongue is one of my favorites. When my mother first came to the US from France in the 1940s, the butcher was giving her beef tongue for free. He had been discarding them because she was the only customer who had ever requested them. He couldn't imagine what she was doing with them but eventually he wised up and started charging her.

I've had tongue and I do not hate it.... but yeah... still squeamish. I DO try to try everything once, though trips to Thailand and Hong Kong pushed those limits...

How about pickled pigs feet? Someone eats them in US.

I have never tried.... I'm west coast. I would try a nibble.... I feed my dog raw, frozen chicken feet.... I have many Thai and Filipino friends who are like "NO! those are awesome!".
So I'm at a Filipino party.... they are stir frying chicken hearts and gizzards outside with garlic.. and I'm like.. . Then I tried them.... then I started making them all the time.
I will NOT try balut. There IS a line a will not cross.
I've had fancy roasted bone marrow in the bone... I still buy the marrow bones... but give them to my dog.

Fried chicken gizzards are fine.
But I, too, drew a line at balut. Not enough nope in the room for that.

Yeah I wouldn't want to try balut. I'm fairly adventurous, but that's a big no for me.
Another one I haven't tried, and have no intention of trying, is chitlins. Oddly enough, I LOVE menudo, but something about the smell of chitlins... Maybe it's the way I've seen it prepared by African American cultures that just looked absolutely disgusting to me... I'm not a huge fan of lard, and Soul Food uses it as a base for LOTS of dishes. Maybe I'll give pig intestins a go one day if it's prepared by a different culture.

Aside from that, almost everything else goes.
I ate chitterlings as a kid, and enjoyed them.
But the only people whose chitterlings I would eat today are dead.
Lard is better for the body than canola oil. At least the body knows what to do with lard. With canola oil, the intestines say, "What is that? I'll let liver figure it out." Liver says: "I don't know what that is. I'll just tuck it to the side."

So my Dad, being from coastal SE North Cack-a-lacky, used to give me REALLY sour pickled pigs feet when I was teething. Yuppers, a little infant gnawing on a pig knuckle. He said it stopped me from crying, lol.
