in ireland my mums family used to eat pigs heads (in a soup) up to the 1950's, so doesn't suprise me if people still eat sheeps hearts somewhere, phoggi obviously does for one.. i'd imagine it'd be gristly?

There's no gristle at all. Gristle=cartilage is the tissue (if I understand it correctly) that connects skeletal muscle to bones. It has no blood vessels.

There is a fair bit of fat to be trimmed, and some of the tubes are tough and need to be trimmed off. I like it cut into chunks, skewered, and grilled.
