I am not a fan of inwards of any kinds to be honest as I find them pretty disgusting. When I was younger, my mom always makes me take pig's liver or chicken livers as according to her could help me replenish my blood. Each time she served me those, I'll sit in front of the bowl as long as I could and has to force myself to finish them.
However, it is entirely different when it comes to pig stomach! A part which my mom said is one of the hardest to clean as if it is not cleansed properly it will have a stinky smell. I've never cleaned one before since I've never cook any when I was in Malaysia. Either my mom or my MIL will do the job and I am the lucky soul who will savour the end product.
My favourite is the black pepper corn pig stomach soup which is one of the best soup I've ever drank. My MIL often boil a big pot with lots of goodies during Chinese New Year. This is also a must have during my confinements.
When I had my #3 in Melbourne, my mom boiled this for me as well and from there I knew the butchers here actually cleansed it real well that we don't even need to do much cleaning after that! For that, I boiled a few times after my confinement since I really dig this soup! :D

What I really like is by adding some chicken feet and the soup will go all gooey from the collagen. It is supposed to be really good for health!
