I think 名物の食べ物 or 名物料理 sounds more natural? Experts can correct me...
But if you are asking a stranger, shouldn't you be using desuka rather?

Do you know what is horumon? ホルモン?

Horumon is basically the innards and the other usually uneaten part of the livestock, the guts and the organs. This is usually yakiniku style and they will have a charcoal stove at your table to cook your marinated meat.

Horumon in Japan is an acquired taste. I have spoken to a few Japanese and they all told me they have never tried it themselves.

:eek: From the photos posted looked like grilled beef, some with marbling. Pictures can be deceiving :o Thanks for your explanation.
