This is roasted heart, liver, kidney and lights (lungs), served with boiled potatoes and garnished with onions and tomato. I've eaten heart, liver and kidney before as they were cheap and nutritious ingredients in some of the dishes of my childhood and I'm still quite a fan, but lung was a new one for me. The texture was very light, soft and sort of springy without being chewy. It reminded me of cow's udder, which I was once given as a great delicacy during a long Russian train journey. I'd not rush to eat either again, but am glad to have had the chance to try them.
