I think it's engrained into us that the heart is *the* most important and significant organ in our bodies, and the core of our being, hence its name. We used to believe our emotions and soul came from our heart, which is obviously still around today. "I love you with all my heart" "He broke my heart" etc. So yeah, I suppose some people feel uncomfortable biting into it. Being a logical person, I wouldn't have a problem with eating a heart. I've eaten brain, liver, kidneys and if a heart was prepared properly and had a decent taste, I'd eat it.

People don't seriously think like that do they?

We used to at least, we believed the heart controlled everything, life, spirit, love, anger etc, also the home of the soul. Not sure if people still believe exactly that, but I still think people think the heart is an organ that should be — not sure what the best word is — respected and is off-limits for consumption.
