Last night, I had Gopchang ( 곱창 in Korean). 

Gopchang is one of the foods that are enjoyed in Korea. 

What is Gopchang? 



The English version of the Wikipedia Dictionary describes it as follows 


Gopchang[2] (곱창) can refer to the small intestines of cattle (or pig) or to a gui (grilled dish) made of the small intestines.[2][1] The latter is also called gopchang-gui (곱창구이; "grilled beef small intestines"). The tube-shaped offal is chewy with rich elastic fibers.[3] In Korean cuisine, it is stewed in a hot pot (gopchang-jeongol), grilled over a barbecue (gopchang-gui), boiled in soup with other intestines (naejang-tang), or made into a sausage (sundae).[4]

In the past, gopchang was a popular, nutritious, and cheap dish for the general public.[5] Rich in iron and vitamins, it was served as a health supplement for improving a weak constitution, recovering patients, and postpartum depression.[5] Today, gopchang is also regarded as a delicacy and is more expensive than the regular meat of the same weight.[5] It is a popular anju (food served and eaten with soju), as it helps break down alcohol.[6] Gopchang is an exotic food for foreigners. but It is also one of the most popular foods to try in Korea.
