My step-dad was a butcher and I used to work in the shop on weekends. He was an old-fashioned butcher so rather than receive primal cuts the shop would get sides of beef and pork, plus the inner organs. We had to have at least one recipe for everything the shop sold so when a customer asked, "what's that and what do you do with it?" we could answer and make suggestions. At one time or another, we ate every part of a steer or a pig so we'd know what it was like. The animal made the ultimate sacrifice. The least we can do is not take that for granted.
That said, who were the first people to eat pork bung? People who were pretty hungry and desperate.

I would grind it up for the dogs maybe. I really do not see the point. I can afford to buy all the other parts of the hog that don't have connections to the digestive tract. I'm good on this one.

On the trip from the airport on my kids' first trip to France, we had The Talk.
I told them that they would be seeing many wondrous and weird things, chief among them the food -- that our friends and relatives would offer them unfamiliar foods but they didn't have to eat anything they didn't want, or even to taste it. They could just decline, politely. But if they did taste something, they shouldn't make a big show of gagging, spitting it out, and rinsing their mouth. "Above all," I said, "you're in a foreign country with foreign tastes where food is a big deal so, whatever you do, you must not make fun of what people are eating" -- then, because I try to be a practical dad, I finished, "while they can see you."
My daughter, now grown, has traveled through Europe and parts of Asia, and she tries to live this rule. A couple of years ago she was on a trip and called me to say, "Dad, remember what you told us in Paris? You'd have been proud of me today!" She was in Minnesota.

I mean, I'd try it if someone served it to me (after waiting for them to take bite first to be sure it's not a prank), but other than that yeah no. When I process a wild hog, the devils doughnut gets tossed out along with the rest of the innards. SheilaAnn
Then again if I had to cook with it, I'd make tripas tacos, menudo, or chitterlings with it. I have had all of those several times, and a few times they were quite good.
