Generally, people eat muscle meats. However, various cultures worldwide consider organ meat as a staple of their diet. Organ meats are called Offal (derived from the word “off-fall”). It refers to parts of animals that fall away when butchered, such as the blood, bones, tail, feet, or genitals.
The cow vagina is one of the offals that some nations use as a native delicacy. The taste of this organ meat depends on the food preparations or the amount of seasoning you put in the offal. In Vietnam, they cook the whole cow vag as street food that tastes sweet and sour.

Although this is rare, it can lead to more serious complications, like dementia and death. However, there is not enough evidence to prove that humans can get mad cow disease from consuming a cow’s genitals.
